The difference is that if you know how to do it, you can make a shortcut to
your favorites folder, and without having to open your browser first, you
can click on a favorite and go directly there. With a bookmark, you can't do
that, because there is no way to get to your bookmarks without opening the
browser first. This way, it's like being able to open a favorite, and every
favorite becomes a temporary home page in the browser.

Functionally, what is the practical difference between a bookmark and a
favorite?

That's not a favorite, that's a bookmark. A favorite creates an actual
Windows shortcut which resides under the Roaming folder in Windows7.

Bill, I don't have the add-on you reference. Alt-A doesn't work for me.
However, Ctrl-D is the keystroke I use and then I can name the
favorite; it does have a default name, of course.

Hi, Tom. I also use PlainOldFavorites in Firefox. Adding favorites in
Firefox works the same way it does for Internet Explorer. All you need
to do is to go to the page you want to make a favorite for in Firefox.
Once you are there, Press Alt plus the letter A. Then press the Enter
key, and the favorite is automatically added. The thing which may be
confusing is that the favorite will appear at the bottom of the
favorites list in Firefox instead of being in alphabetical order. If
you want the list to be in alphabetical order again, you must go to
the PlainOldFavorites AdOn in the AdOns manager in Firefox, Click on
the PlainOldFavorites Adon. It will then say Read Only. Tab to the
options for that option. Select the option "Sort By Name". If the
option says it is checked, press the space Bar to uncheck this option,
then press the Space Bar to re-check the option. Tab to the OK button,
and press Enter. Then Press Alt plus W to close Firefox. When you open
Firefox again, the favorites will appear in alphabetical order.

Subject: Adding Favorites In Firefox
Hello, everyone.
A while back, I imported internet favorites from Internet Explorer to
Firefox using the add-on tool called plain old favorites.
http://www.iosart.com/firefox/plainoldfavorites/
Since I now am using Firefox as my main internet browser, I'm
interested in adding some additional favorites to my favorites list.
I can find the tab that says "add favorites", but when I attempt to do
this, nothing happens. Jaws says nothing, and I appear to get a blank
screen.
Am I missing a step here, or is there a different way to add new
favorites to my favorites list in Firefox?
Thank you!
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan
