Browser+Bookmarks

=Browser-based Bookmarks=

Browser-based bookmarks (favorites) are those website bookmarks that are stored locally on your computer, either in Firefox or Safari (or Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc.). These are the traditional bookmarks that most people are used to, instead of web-based bookmarks (like Delicious) that are stored on an outside site. This type of bookmark is still very useful and valid but the trick is to manage them effectively.

Consolidating Bookmarks
Within our district it is necessary to use at least two internet browsers, Safari and typically Firefox. However, one browser should be your most commonly used while the other is there for certain purposes (Safari to access the district server, for example). Some websites work best on certain browsers yet most can be viewed effectively by any browser. Firefox is the least restricted choice commonly promoted in our district and so you may want to use it as your primary browser. Also it has extensions available for download that make certain tasks easier.

To consolidate your bookmarks from Safari into Firefox use the following directions:
