TSGL: combine bookmarks and favorites

[Chuck Neuenschwander]

won't work. 
  if I'm in FF which has  Bookmarks to sites   1,2,3,,and 4,11
  and IE has Favories for sites  2,4,6,8, and 10
  and I want to go to 8
  I have to search my Bookmarks first, to find it's not there
  and then switch to IE and (re)search.
   
  A utility program would develop a list:  1,2,3,4,6,8,10,11
  and any search I do will be successful. If I click what I've searched for,
  it would open up, probably in the browser which had set it originally.
   
  Further, I do not want to view pages in IE all the time. I have good reason
  to use multiple browsers.

  I know you want synchronized Bookmarks/favorites but 
how about using Firefox's add-on "IE View" which lets 
you open any page you have in firefox in IE instead.

There's an option to "Always view this page in IE" so 
that if you click on the bookmark, it will 
automatically open IE and View the page.

At least this might help until you can locate the 
program you want.
