A Day In My Life

I recently updated Firefox 3 when I was prompted to do so as I opened the browser. I forgot to backup my profile before I updated, so I’ve spent some time getting things in order. Normally, I use MozBackup, and I keep a copy of my bookmarks in a folder on my hard drive.

I keep my most frequently used bookmarks in folders on my Bookmarks Toolbar, and added a new one for WordPress which did not get imported to the updated version of Firefox because I forgot to save the bookmarks before the update. Fortunately, the WordPress folder was new enough that it had just a few bookmarks in it, and they were easy to locate again.  I have a tendency to collect all sorts of resources when I start working with anything new. I may also create a folder for links having to do with my web host, but I haven’t decided yet.

I have several different profiles in Firefox, for different purposes, but I use one of them on a daily basis, so it is the one I am most concerned with keeping current.  There are 34 active add-ons in this profile, with four inactive ones. I’ve had as many as 65 addons active on my profile at one time or another, which is a little top-heavy. 

I am especially happy to finally have a working version of the Fast Dial extension again. I have thumbnails of all of my most frequently used websites in a single tab, for fast and easy access.
