First, a shameless plug about the Gnome panel applet that I wrote to access my bookmarks: http://browserbookapp.sourceforge.net/ It's still a work-in-progress, but it should read the right bookmarks file if your preferred browser is firefox, mozilla, epiphany, galeon, or konqueror. I want to add a menu item that launches the bookmarks manager. For epiphany, it's a simple "epiphany -b". For firefox (or mozilla), I need some help. As per http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Chrome_URLs, I tried "firefox -chrome chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul" and it works great... provided that I don't already have an instance of firefox up and running. If I already have a firefox window open, then it will ask me to pick a profile, because "the default profile is already in use". This does not seem to happen on Windows. If I remove the "-chrome" so that it's just "firefox chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul" then it doesn't ask me to chose my profile (but the bookmarks manager UI is then embedded inside the usual firefox window, which is unacceptable). Does someone know a workaround for this? Or an alternative way to open the bookmarks manager? thanks, Nigel.
