Kirk, Reading your other email about you requirement I think this may not be what you want. On all my workstations I mount a "common" directory from a file server on the network, and then create a softlink for the Firefox bookmarks file on each workstation I use. See the bottom of this section: <a href="http://www.stevesearle.com/tech/fed.core5.ws.html#customise">http://www.stevesearle.com/tech/fed.core5.ws.html#customise</a> You do need to be careful when updating the bookmarks file from two simultaneous Firefox sessions. </blockquote></div> So you use nfs to cross machines. That answers the one question I had. I'm not that familiar with Firefox's bookmark feature, since I have rarely used it. :-) But it looks fairly "primitive" feature-wise in comparision to the webapps I've mentioned. But I must admit it's a slick solution to most folk's needs. Kirk
