FF3 isnt even backing up bookmarks like its supposed to.
Im moving over to Opera. It lacks so many things (extensions) that I use
for daily work like html validation extensions and what not but its
stable and keeps my stuff.

Perhaps using an online bookmark site? Thats what I use and it means I
can have all my bookmarks at whatever computer I sit down at.

Which do you use? I only know of Foxmarks and it works for me but it
does mean i'm tied to Firefox. The google one i found couldn't be
relied on, it put in separators and other glitches.

Well, I do use google bookmarks and never seem to have a single issue
with it, though your experience may differ. There are others out there
though I am sure.

They may have fixed that glitch then. I got several separator bars
each time i used it - it seemed. Using a non-Firefox bookmarks does
allow one to look at other browsers... something i haven't done - just
stayed with Firefox.
