...I'm a bit late returning to this thread, but, well, colour me impressed. Okay, with a genuinely helpful suggestion like this, I may indeed try installing FF3 again and giving it a shot. This is, at least, no more irritating than what I currently do anyway. I am still not convinced that the bookmark searching functions in FF3 are actually better, but at least this will take most of the edge off. Thanks!
