@andrew
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on bundles! I (for some reason) don’t use bundles often, maybe I should now!
I haven’t tried adding feeds to del.icio.us, but it’ll be good to have feeds one click away!

This is a great article. i had to discover all these things on my own. Hopefully, it’ll save others from the same learning curve.

One thing to add: I’m using the Firefox extension. I too use the toolbar for my commonly used bookmarks – but I organize it using the “Bundles” view, instead of tag view . So I have a bundle called “web programming”. In that bundle, it refers to my tags “design”, “dhtml”, javascript_reference”, and “object_oriented” . Each tag in my bundle feels like a subdirectory – which is very cool.

Also, my RSS feeds I subscribe to in del.icio.us, also work by using Live Bookmarks. Now if I could just get them to use Sage, I’d be very happy.

@Catherine,
With the newest version of the del.icio.us bookmark manager (1.4.27 currently), you can enable and disable Firefox’s own bookmarks menu and toolbar. So they can work side by side.
If you really don’t want del.icio.us bookmarks and say that uninstalling Firefox doesn’t bring them back, then it’s because of your profile.
If you’re **feeling brave**, then read the ‘What happened to my old bookmarks?’ section on this article, so that you have a copy of your Firefox bookmarks, then delete your profile. Once you install Firefox again, it will create a new profile for you. Then you can import your bookmarks from the file you saved from your profile.
Hopefully that’ll work!

I think Firefox is purposefully making the regular “bookmarks” not work so you have not choice but to use del.icio.us. No matter what I do, I can not get my regular bookmarks to work. I tried del.icio.us and I don’t like it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, no matter what I do, I am unable to add anything to my old bookmarks. I am very mad.

@hyperreality: I’ve not got any comment tracking in place, so I often forget about things I have posted.

Yes, tooltips being set to false were a major pain for me. I use gmail manager and forecastfox enhanced, and without tooltips these extensions are pretty much crippled. However it now seems the issue is fixed and the del.icio.us bookmarks has stayed on all my firefox installations. Tagging FTW!

Reclusive Monkey, tooltips are set to false on my extension as well. Would you find it useful if they weren’t?

Thanks Greg! I didn’t know that there’s a ‘third’ del.ico.us extension! That page mentioned sidebars, I’m not a fan of them, take away viewing space. No matter how big a monitor I have, I want even more space to view content!
