Firefox changing bookmark format

Filed under: Technology — Dave @ 10:51 am

Firefox 3 will be abandoning the bookmarks.html file for the storage of bookmarks in favor of an SQLite file.

That might be cool for performance, but bad for those who occasionally tweak their bookmark file directly (say, to fix icons that Firefox gets wrong).

Anyone know of a good free SQLite browser for Windows?

I suppose I have the option of exporting the bookmarks, which will still support bookmarks.html and then re-importing.

Are you kidding me?

I save for retirement, I invest and I take a pretty active role in my savings.  However I’ve never seen a good method for determining what I will need.  I recently received an ad from Fidelity, which holds the vast majority of my retirement savings, about a retirement calculator that is supposed to tell you if your on track for a comfy retirement.

I couldn’t answer all the questions but look at this, can I be this far off?

They say I will need almost 6 million to retire?  And that I have to increase my savings by 10 to 12K per month – well over my take-home?  I didn’t even specify what I thought I’d need to live on, I let them estimate it for me.
