I like PlainOldFavourites which gives you the current IE favourites list. More useful than a one off import. Also the web developer extension. I am having a bit of a trawl for what else is useful.

This seems very useful: https://www.chipmark.com/Main Allows you to access your bookmarks transparently over the web replacing your Bookmarks menu completetly. Also works in internet explorer. Even if like me you simply run more than one PC, it is very useful. I can switch even more easily between windows and Linux now.

Quick question, the inbuilt search functionality doesn't seem as good on the later versions, is there any way of restoring it?

Not noticed any changes in search I guess Chipmarks is much the same as Foxilicious

It used to give you various options directly from the search box, google images, uk, online dictionaries etc. According to Mandy that isn't there any more (This is all secondhand because I'm using Safari at the moment).

It's fairly simple but I'm buggered if I can remember, I messed around with it a little while ago to add google.co.uk and amazon.co.uk as search options. I'll try and remember

The goowe.com search bar is pretty decent. Knocks my old shareware Foboz product for 6

I am alos trying B-O-Z for Firefox a "last minute" ebay bidder. have played with it a fair bit, albeit all my bids were outbid prior to B-O-Z bidding for me. Not surprising, as for testing I am trying some really cheapskate bids

I'm using 1.0.2 on linux and the search offers google, yahoo, ebay, dictionary.com, amazon.co and another google. Fave extensions? Ooh, adblock, tabbrowser prefs, disable targets for download, web developer, user agent switcher, sage (rss), google pagerank status are all good.
