Regarding Movable Type's bold, italic and URL buttons, there is a fix for it. See http://www.movabletype.org/support/index.p...a6d551eada46d08225d for info.

To get MT to mail new comments to you: Go to Blog Config -> Preferences -> Comment Configuration and tick the "Email new comments?" checkbox.

I just made the switch to Mozilla on Windows for many of the same reasons, Mitch. It seems to me that Mozilla simply imported my IE Favorites automagically. At least, I don't recall doing anything explicit or even being asked about it. They just showed up.

I'm addicted to tabbed browsing. This is such an important advance in the use of the Web for me, particularly the ability to save a group of tabbed pages as a single bookmark. That has saved me so much time I'm incredulous someone didn't think of it a lot sooner!

I've seen Mozilla import IE favorites for over a year, since pre-version 1.

There is a javascript personal toolbar item that will help you post a page reference to your MT installation. I assume that is what you were referring to?

Download file and then, when presented with the completed window,click on "Open"

Plug-ins, the only disconnect I've seen is Mozilla 1.x being incompatible with Adobe's SVG viewer. Generally, you will be taken to the appropriate plug-in page.

Now. I'm assuming you are using a Windows machine. Have no experience with other platforms.

You're right about the website and the documentation. The project is not doing itself any favors in that regard. However, at least until last week, they were basically a development and testing operation, not primarily an end-user operation. This is a cultural issue that may be endemic to all open source projects. Polish and packaging has always been seen as the value-added component where someone could finally make some spare change after all the hours of donated time.

PS: you're comments functions in MT can be configured to send you email too. Jumping to another app in another place a) gets people a little nervous about spam potenial, etc., and b) takes them away from reading another of your posts.

Any inability for Mozilla to read your favorites folder is a mozilla issue. Firebird does it fine and I know windows doesn't treat the folder in a special manner. It is just where it stores .url files.

An experiment. LEt's try using quicktopic for any follow-on discussion on the subject of my weblog entry on switchnig to Mozilla.
