Hmm, turned out it was an add-on causing the trouble. Can’t remember which, but it was either Speed Dial or Foxmarks (I think Speed Dial)… I can finally write [ and ] again. \(^.^)/

I can switch between them as I like, but I use English with Danish keyboard layout. I assume you use the same.

Do you have a danish language OS X install? I have english. Could it be that?

You’re right — I’ve assigned it some categories.

This should maybe be in the software cat.?

When i upgraded there were some bookmarks but the the latest. They were like a week or two old. I was going almost flikflak i randers fjord til at discovered that it wasn’t an “rm -rf” like situation. The resent set of bookmarks were there.

Then i tried to import them “manually”, but with out much luck wrt. smoothness.

Actually, it’s a bit weird, because I didn’t even have to import my bookmarks from Ff2 to Ff3. I just upgraded and they were all there.

Ohh… it’s to hard to explain in a few sentences. It kind of just doesn’t bookmark. Might be due to the tags. At one point i could bookmark, but then i started tagging and it went bonkers. I might try to reinstall, see if that helps. But i fear it’s my bookmark file that’s got corrupted in some way. As i said, the automatically import of my bookmarks from FF2 to FF3 wasn’t exactly a smooth operation. Manually importing my bookmarks is something i wanna do as much as anal-piss my self in the face. So…

I have to say i’d like it, meaning the system and the work flow, if only it worked (for me). I tried to search the bug tracker, but with out luck. Properly my search phrase wasn’t the right one.

Weird! I can change between tabs with both Cmd-number and Alt-number… Wonder why our Firefoxen behave differently…

Frankly, I love the new bookmark system. It’s so much easier just clicking the star in the URL-bar than going through the whole mess with selecting name and location and stuff.

So what happens if you press the star to bookmark?

i toggel tabs witk command- not alt. £ works fine here.

What doesn’t work, which almost make the browser unusable for me, is the new bookmark system. I mean the browser can display web pages, but if i can’t bookmark, i’m kind lost. Right now my desktop is full of *.webloc files. It’s a mess. I was really looking forward to see how the tags-system would work for organizing bookmarks. It might be due to the import of my old bookmarks, witch wasn’t exactly a smooth operation. Don’t know what to do about it.
