The Goldfish Chronicles

Safari has gotten be attached to bookmarks in a web browser at long last. Mozilla supports the same necessary features [menu’s in my ‘bookmark bar’] and is cross-platform.

However, as I use around 6 machines regularly, I’m getting sick and tired of having to set up the bookmarks on each one and try and keep them synched. So I went to Best Buy, picked up a USB keychain [64Meg, but a 32Meg one would have been fine if they’d had one I trusted would work on a Mac] and tried to setup a Mozilla profile on it on my Windows laptop.

That part worked fine, great. Next step: Try to select that profile from another install of Mozilla. I used an OS X install, but another Windows one would have been fine too.

Problem. There is no way to select an existing profile in Mozilla and I could not even find a nice .js file to hack to get it to use my pre-existing profile.

Ouch
