Multiple copies of bookmarks in Firefox 3
Another day, another browser annoyance. Firefox 3 removed (some would say “fixed”) the ability to bookmark the same page multiple times, allowing the user to save the bookmark in several folders. I rely pretty heavily on this feature, and I didn’t notice that the first few times I tried to do it, I accidentally moved (edited) the bookmark instead of adding a second one. Now I’m digging back through my recent bookmarks and trying to make sure that they’re all in the proper locations.
The new process: Bookmark the link. Now, go to the Bookmarks menu and select Organize Bookmarks. Find the bookmark, copy it and paste it, then move the second bookmark into the second folder. Repeat as needed. (Thanks to this thread for the solution.) Way more convoluted than just hitting Cmd+D again and picking a second folder.
I guess now I can disable my “Bookmark Duplicate Detector” add-on, since I won’t be duplicating any bookmarks accidentally…
