Although this questions is not directly related to Linux and is more browser specific. I want to know is there any way that all my browsers have same set of bookmarks/favorites. I currently have 3 browsers that I use (chrome, Mozilla,and IE8) if I add a bookmark to one of my favorites is it possible to access the same bookmark list is some different browser. Is this possible?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a new Fedora 15 installation on my Lenovo T61 laptop. I have converted it from Windows 7 and am having some trouble getting it set up as desired. In particular, I am trying to add an executable link to a .jar file to my Activities Favorites bar.
I have tried right-clicking the icon from the Activities Application display to add to favorites like I can do with any other application but right-clicking does nothing. Dragging to the favorites bar does not work either. When I click on the icon, it just opens the Archive Manager so that may be related to the problem. The .jar file does actually run but I have to find it in the file manager, right click and then select Open With Java. what can I do to add a link in the Activities Favorites bar that opens my .jar file?
Have just put Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an old laptop for parental units. They pick it up in thirty minutes. I have got the bloody Broadcom wireless working. I have got Skype set up.

No, bookmarks in Firefox aren't good enough. I want a friendly icons on their desktop. This has to be incredibly obvious
Every time I logout and log back in the Unity panel resets to its default state. I'd like it to save my favourite applications and their locations on the panel. I'm completely updated and thought this might be a permission issue or some such. I wanted to see if anyone had this problem or if anyone knew where unity saved its files before I filed a false bug report.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed IE 6.0 with ies4linux on Ubuntu Desktop. After closing IE6, I am unable to restart it after calling IE via command line or by clicking on the desktop icon, without restarting my computer. When I run ps -a I can see IExplorer.exe running but no browser appears. The same with IE 5.5. Is there something I have to configure?
I also have difficulty with the "Favorites" menu in IE under Wine. I can only bookmark urls by creating them in the default "Links" folder they provide. Otherwise, the Favorite does not appear in the drop-down menu. Nor does it appear if I create another folder or rename the Links folder. Is this a bug in IE on Wine? Or is this related to a problem in the installation?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a standalone bookmark management application as I need to use different browsers on occasion and don't want to store my bookmarks on one of the web based services.
Ideally this would be a server client type arrangement that would store my bookmarks on my server which I could connect to through a client, or an ncurses based application, that I can store, tag and sort my bookmarks on.
I am aware of Sitebar which offers their server software, however their plug-in is firefox, IE, and maxthon only at present. In an added complication there seems to be a conflict with one of my other firefox add-ons.

In the web browsers I know, by pressing the space bar you scroll down one "page", lets call it. To effect the opposite motion, you can press <PageUp> or <Backspace>. But I can't believe there is not a key or key combination nearer the space bar to scroll pages up.In less, you can use the space bar and the b key, and you see how this key has strategically been chosen, as it is close to the space bar. Also, they lie near the bottom of the keyboard, a comfortable spot to place one's fingers.So, is there a pair of keys, one for page scroll up, the other for page scroll down, and such that one is next to the other and at the same time near the bottom of the keyboard in the most used web browsers or in some of its styles?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDebian lenny, old install (I've upgraded to lenny when it was just about to become the stable release), versus windows 7, fresh install.Comparing browsers speeds with numion.com/Stopwatch.html, I had results such as:Iceweasel (firefox) on linux: from 9.154 seconds to 21:860 seconds (the same webpage, reloaded)Firefox on windows: 4.32 seconds - and never much slower than thatThe fastest browser on linux was Opera, ranging from 8.562 to 5.503 secs to load the same page, but even internet explorer beat/match it with its timing of about five seconds.
I have not other browsers on windows; on linux there is aroraonqueror (KDE3), kazehakase, chrome, and dillo, besides text browsers. I didn't test on dillo; Kazehakase and chrome were the only ones which had nearly decent results, but still very bad, 11 to 13 seconds for chrome, and 21 for kazehakase. Konqueror just seemed to never finish to load the page, I gave up when it was still loading somethingfter nutes and 5 seconds.'ve emptied the cache every time I would test, and I was running almost only the browsers and not much else. Whatever comes by default on windows, and on linux, I was on openbox, with nothing much going on I guess, I think the most memory consuming processthe time, besides xorg and the browsers themselves, was dictd.
I've researched a little bit about, but not enough to make a list of possible things to change in order to improve the speed on linux. Most of the time there are people just agreeing that on windows the rendering is faster, and other people saying that with them is the opposite, with some minor variations like people saying that linux is faster for plain downloads while windows is faster for web browsing due to better graphics.
(by the way; I haven't installed any graphic card driver on windows, which is still running on 1024x768, while linux runs on 1280x1024, with the "nv" generic driver, without fancy options, not supported by my old card) The closest to a suggestion of possible solutions was someone saying tha compilation may affect performance, I guess it was both about kernel compilation, and the web browsers themselves.I'll google a bit more about how to "compile for speed", both kernels and programs (maybe the x server

View 5 Replies View RelatedCan't find info on how to move my hundreds of Camino bookmarks from a Mac G5 power-pc OSx Leopard to Ubuntu setup onto an older AMD PC. Camino doesn't appear to have a Linux version at least that I can find. If it does have one I would prefer Camino. Probably not so is it preferable in any way discernable, to the Firefox that I'm using now (doesn't look like it to me)?
Secondly, the vertical arrows for paging up and down on the screen - can't seem to find the preference that puts them together at the bottom instead of up arrow at the top and down arrow at the bottom.
