sethrakSo, yesterday our uber-geeky friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
willz talked my husband into switching from IE to Mozilla Firefox. Better popup blockers built in, more resistant to viruses, faster load times, can cure cancer, etc., etc.
I had no particular problem with this, once Dav told me he was able to do an automated copy and transfer of all our IE bookmarks to Firefox. I have what may charitably be described as a metric crapton of bookmarks, only loosely assigned into folders. A good quarter have never been sorted into folders at all, and just sit at the bottom of our Favorites list, waiting for me to develop a fit of ambition and tidy them up. I was glad that I didn't have to face manually transferring each and every bookmark, or even just the ones I check daily.
This morning I got on the Internet for the first time since the switchover.
>_< Firefox alphabetizes its bookmarks. ::makes sound of ultimate suffering:: Both on the main list, and within each folder.
*My* sorting system, such as it was, was something more akin to that of the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. (And if I spelled that right without googling, I am a bigger book nerd than even I believed.)
Firefox has tidied everything up, and now I can't find anything!
Well, if nothing else, it'll force me to wade through my Webcomics folder and delete links that are dead or that I lost interest in. And prune my personal favorites folder for outdated crap as well. (CNN.com's 2004 election links, I am looking at you.)
But.... Gaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... x_x There's just so many... ::whimper::
