Ok, so I still haven't updated my firefox, but all due to good reasons so now I have some questions. I've already googled most of these to find the answer, so please don't tell me to google. I don't know if the answers are up to date with the new FF.

1. Does FF3 still delete a part of your favorites, due to the differences of how they're stored? If so, how do transfer all my FF2 favorites to FF3? Because last time I updated a part of them was deleted, so I went back to FF2.

2. In terms of TOR addon+FF3, does FF3 still have that problem where it leaks your time zone?


3. Is there a add on that can organize my favorites, I've read foxmarks does this but sells your info and such, so anything other than that?

1) No.
2) Pass as I don't use it.
3) You can arrange favourites yourself. There's an option on the Bookmarks menu for "Organise Bookmarks".

1. You're sure of this one correct?

2. Ok thanks for the answers anyway sir!

3. >_< I knew that, I'm asking if there is a thing that arranges it in some fashion by itself. Foxmarks does it if you want(but sells your info), check it out.

1. Always backup things. Always.
- MozBackUp: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
- Firefox add-on FEBE: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109
2. I don't use use it, so no answer here.
3. I'v never heard of any privacy issues with Foxmarks. However, it's not an organizer. It synchronizes bookmarks between 2, or more computers. I've been using it for a while.

Considering I've used the same profile for the last 21 months through about the last 12 versions of Firefox and never lost anything bookmark or otherwise, I am at a loss to explain why other users seem to have bookmark issues. There was an issue between Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 with regards to bookmarks but that usually happened because the betas were being used.
