Now, if only there were a way to get my bookmarks alphabetized. (I have done checking on this, and I think it's a very low priority bug that hasn't been fixed yet.)
I just got this to work. Went to manage bookmarks, view, then highlighted the list I wanted alphabetized, clicked on buttons in view menu -- sort by word and A-Z. That did it, at least for the folder I tried. But it is like target practice hitting the buttons to make them work.
Well, just amend my reply, I noticed just now that the folder of bookmarks I sorted are indeed sorted when you look at bookmarks from the sidebar, but not when you just pull down the bookmark menu.
Generally I find Mozilla fine for my needs. Actually better to use than IE. But this reminds me of the insistence on the website that Mozilla is not meant for end users but rather for developers. And to me, it is like they're trying to have it both ways. I mean, if it isn't for end users why release it in such a public manner? And if it is released as it has been then fix a few annoing bugs which might not be big deals but are sure death for attracting end users like problems with bookmarks -- another thing I'm thinking of is how it imports IE bookmarks with %20 for spaces. How could you shoot yourself in the foot more efficiently than discouraging IE users from switching because you messed up their bookmarks? To me, that should've been fixed the next day. But, of course, it isn't meant for end users so...
