Upgrade to Firefox 22.0 is horrible

[Make7]

20. I just installed Opera 16 and the Bookmarks Manager extension.

I successfully exported my FireFox bookmarks as HTML and then imported them with the Bookmarks Manager extension. It seemed to work fine - I randomly clicked on some bookmarks and they all went where they were supposed to and they retained their given bookmark names.

Why the Opera developers decided to completely remove the old bookmark feature in favor of the expanded speed-dial is apparently a mystery to a lot of people if you read their forums. I'm not opposed to the expanded speed-dial, but they should have retained the bookmarking function for people transitioning from Opera 12. Then they could open up sites from their bookmarks and save them in the new and improved speed-dial - or just keep them as normal bookmarks.

Anyway, it looks like the easiest way to migrate your bookmarks is to install the Bookmarks Manager extension, export your FireFox bookmarks as HTML, and then point the Opera Bookmarks Manager to that file and import them. I just wanted to reply to let you know that I actually verified that my last bit of advice in my previous post was a workable solution - and much faster than opening the HTML file in Opera to save each bookmark one by one.
