Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Feb 07

Thanks, you gave me hope...and I kept POKING until I found it.

(Sarcasm!!!)How interesting that they put the drop-downs in a DIFFERENT
WINDOW.
The pop-up window created by opening "Show All Bookmarks" does not have
the "import and backup" on it but rather,
it is up on the Firefox menu bar for the window that spawned the new
window with all the various options and REMAINS
HIDDEN unless you move your mouse across it.

WOW, do I ever understand why Canonical was unhappy with Mozilla when
they started the fast updates for Firefox.
Obviously Mozilla has not been doing their homework to keep Firefox
"intuitive".

I also have not gotten used to the multiple indirections when attempting
to use the ICONS in Dash. Takes forever to find
things, but I'll get to know KDE again. I haven't used it on Linux for
many years. I used it in the 90s Slackware Linux as
it was much like what I used at work on a Silicon Graphics Irix
workstation.

Good accidents do happen though. When I was attempting to take
screenshot of my "About" popups to identify software release
numbers I discovered that "Search" in Dash finds GNOME screenshot
program quickly. Remember I'm running KDE!!! After finding
"screenshot" by search I thought I'd try a search for "system monitor"
and low and behold up came the GNOME system monitor
with which I am familiar. I have been a frequent user of "system
monitor" on Ubuntu 10.4 as about one out of six times I close
Firefox, it hangs in "Futex_wait" condition and I have to use system
monitor to kill the process else I'd have to do a system restart just to
get a new instance of Firefox up and running. This is one major reason
I'd like to update to new version of Ubuntu Linux...but
It has to be more usable than what I already have.

Today I may even get daring and install Ubuntu (Unity) to see if I dare
abandon the Kubuntu (KDE) desktop I am currently using.

I am going to attach the screenshots I took and forward them directly to
"gord_lib". I think they'll probably be stripped away before
the rest of you get them on the forum.

Thanks to the many that contribute on this forum. It is getting more
and more interesting.
