I routinely us a free "dead link checker" application that I found somewhere - it goes through your bookmarks and tries them all, pointing out "404" and other problems, as well as duplicates. This keeps the list somewhat cleaner, but it doesn't help with the useless links placed there for long forgotten reasons. The one I use is called "AM-deadlink", but I am sure that there others that do the job just as well.

I wrote a few days back about a problem with my beloved Firefox freezing on me when I clicked on bookmarks. Here's an update:. Based on what I was reading from the list members, I deleted many of my bookmarks. I too many I guess, some of which were no longer useful or even valid. Now Firefox is okay to use. Even with my favorite add-on Foxmarks which keeps my bookmarks in sync on the four machines I regularly use which include Windows XP Pro, Windows XP Home, Windows 2000, and PCLinuxOS. Thanks everyone for your help!
