Sorry if this has been requested already, couldn't find anything when I searched though.

It's easy to add the IE Favorites as a popup menu in TLB, since IE stores favorites as separate files/folders.

However, I've now started using Mozilla Firefox as my main browser, and this stores 'bookmarks' as a single html file (I guess a similar format to Netscape).

Can we have a plugin to show this as a cascading menu from TLB?

Thanks!

yes i too would like this feature, the only option is too see what bookmarks you have through the WM, but that does no good Sad

PS. if you have some bookmarks left over from IE you can still use them if you have FF set to default browser Wink

Yes, and I can also export FF bookmarks to IE, but I don't want to have two bookmark collections. I prefer the Mozilla implementation anyway, much better have them in a single text file.

And while you're at it, make it a more generic bookmark plugin! I myself am a big Opera fan (or more precise; anti-IE Smile), so it would be very nice if TLB could show those bookmarks as well... even though Opera is running practically non-stop...


Opera stores it's bookmarks in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Opera\Opera7\profile\opera6.adr (guess they left the filename at 6 for legacy). The format is really simple:


Code:
Opera Hotlist version 2.0
Options: encoding = utf8, version=3

#FOLDER
       ID=11
       NAME=Trash
       CREATED=1064388818
       TRASH FOLDER=YES

-

#FOLDER
       ID=42
       NAME=Daily Websites
       CREATED=1071483265
       ACTIVE=YES
       ON PERSONALBAR=YES
       PERSONALBAR_POS=0
       EXPANDED=YES

       ID=45
       NAME=TrueSoft Support

       VISITED=1079527498

So basically it's a header, then all folders (I've cut a few down obviously, but the folders always appear on top of the list) with each folder closed by a single '-' and containing possible subfolders and URLs, then the last URLs are the ones which are not in any folder...

Oh, and note that each entry is not preceded by 8 spaces but by 1 tab character. Changed it to space because the forum wouldn't render it otherwise...
