I was under the impression that Firefox 2's bookmarks were bookmarks.html, so does that mean that FF3 now stores the bookmark information in some other file and only exports to bookmarks.html if requested? Eugh...
You've got it. They seem to be in files named bookmarkbackups/bookmarks-YYYY-MM-DD.json now.
Eugh indeed.
I've read somewhere that the bookmarks management has been given a pretty fundamental overhaul in Firefox 3. The drag & drop stuff has been rejigged, introducing a bug that will cause bookmarks to simply disappear if they are dragged from the right panel onto a folder on the left panel.
Also, Firefox 3 continues to irritate me with the "feature" of switching itself to offline mode if eth0 isn't up. Apparently, others have been even more irritated -- I've read that there's a plugin that prevents this behaviour.
Overall my impression is that Firefox 3 could have been realeased more mature, and that it could have been designed with a bit more of a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" spirit.
