Create Your Own Smart Bookmarks

Firefox Bookmarks

Firefox keeps a record of sites you visit often, and generates a list of “Smart Bookmarks” that you can create your own list of smart bookmarks using custom queries instead of URLs as well. Right-click on the Bookmarks toolsbar and choose New Bookmark. Use a descriptive name for the bookmark, and under Location, enter one of the queries below (whichever suits your fancy, or tweak them to get the results you want):

• For your 10 Most Visited Sites:
Place:queryType=0&sort=8&maxResults=10 Read more…

Know Where You’re Going, I mean redirects
You can set Firefox (I have done this for Firefox3) to tell you when the site you’re viewing redirects to another site-sometimes you may end up far from where you want to be. To enable this, go to Tools > Options (or Edit > Preferences if you’re using Linux) > Advanced. Under General, check the box against Warn me when sites try to redirect or reload the page. Henceforth, you’ll get a warning bar every time a site redirects you.
