Firefox Live Bookmark

[awf170]

sure you have 1.0.7 firefox?

Yup, I keep up with the updates since they made it so easy! (I just double checked too...) I messed with the userChrome.css file to get the appearance just right. I used it to get rid of the File menu from my browser window since I never use it, I guess that killed the File menu in the dialog windows as well...

Here's what it looks like if you're curious:

how did ya get the weather in the bottom right corner, pretty neato.

Ok, I put me File menu back and can manually add Live Bookmarks now as Steve described... However I still don't see the damn

icon that Greg was talking about ANYWHERE!!

if you have the latest firefox, go to:
Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks

then a new window pops up and:
File > New Live Bookmark

insert the info and you're set.

There is an easier way to do it. If a website supports live bookmarks there should be a small icon in the lower-right corner of the browser window. The icon is a yellow/blue circle. Click on it and a live bookmarks will be added for the site.

Ah, I do have the icon, it just doesn't look anything like the one Greg posted. You can see it to the left of Adblock in my screen shot.

Strange. I see the orange icon as described here:

Maybe its my theme that changed it... :-?

Yup, my theme I'm using uses a different Live Bookmarks icon. That explains it, I feel better now!
