Question: >What was the name of the bookmark ad-on that you were using? Answer: Let me make a few assumptions... Assumption #1 You know of this one... from my notes http://www.delicious.com and the addon for Firefox - toolbar http://www.delicious.com/help/quicktour/firefox So... if it is NOT that one you are asking about (all that is in my notes), I think you may be asking me about Diigo - which I choose to use instead of delicious http://www.diigo.com/ and there is a toolbar for FireFox as well. Firefox Toolbars are kinda essential - too much work without them... -------------- At home, Install the DIIGO Toolbar in Firefox <--- way too much trouble if you don't do this.
