Firefox 3 Bookmarking
Thursday, June 26, 2008 at 17:16 Mozilla released Firefox 3 during my holiday. So the first thing I had to do was upgrade v2.x to the latest version. Initially everything seemed fine.... INITIALLY...
The trouble began when I tried to add bookmarks. The new bookmark interface (it's called Library) showed up empty. When I tried to add a bookmark, it was impossible to remove it.
"Why would you want to remove a bookmark??" Well, because every bookmark I added ended up with the URL to some ad. At first I thought I had some weird virus or trojan on my Mac. But it seemed that every Mac had the same problem.
E.g. If I added the SnipURL button to my toolbar (which is basically a javascript) it would work, but when I pressed the button, it would show a Google ad. There was also no way of removing or changing it.
