How often do you open and save files on your computer? I'm sure that even the most casual users will do it several times throughout the day. Whether it be adding an attachment to an email, uploading a photo to a website, or simply saving a document you've been working on... opening and saving files is a part of our computer-driven lives.

One of the things that I absolutely love about Opera is the Speed Dial that was introduced back in Opera 9.2 almost exactly one year ago. It basically adds thumbnail images of your 9 favorite sites to the page that is displayed when you open a new tab.

Sometimes I can't believe how many bookmarks users have. I've seen people who only bookmark a handful of the sites that they use the most, while others have thousands of bookmarks. I fall somewhere in between with a few hundred bookmarks, but one thing that I've come to realize is how difficult it can be to gain access to all of my bookmarks when I'm on-the-go.

When Apple added iPod Touch/iPhone bookmark synchronization to iTunes they, for whatever reason, didn't include Firefox as an option. As it stands right now you can synchronize your iPhone bookmarks with Safari (available on Windows and Mac) or Internet Explorer (available on Windows).

One of the most valuable pieces of data your browser can hold are your bookmarks. For some people it's not only important to access your bookmarks no matter where you're at, but also from whatever browser you are using. That's why today we are taking a look at some different ways you'll be able to sync bookmarks between the different browsers.

One area that I always keep open in my browser is the sidebar. It's where I scour through hundreds of bookmarks, but it's also handy for viewing mobile websites. Mitch over at Firefox Facts brought his "A" game when he snagged some specialized Google Calendar code from his iGoogle gadget. Your browser's sidebar is a great home for the stripped-down website.

Mozilla has been investigating ways to make it easy for users to carry information (bookmarks, history, etc...) from one browser to another. What they came up with is an extension called Weave, and it can be used across several computers to synchronize data.

I'm not sure about you, but I have a collection of bookmarks that is almost unmanageable. Some of the bookmarks I probably haven't touched for years, and I thought it was time for a little spring winter cleaning!

Has something ever happened to your Firefox bookmarks, and you were left wondering how you could get back the bookmarks that you lost? Some of you may be using a service such as Foxmarks (review) so that all of your bookmarks are also backed-up online, but often any change you make to your bookmarks will also be reflected in the service you're synchronizing with.

Google Notebook is, in my opinion, one of the best tools for saving content from websites. It just got a lot better, too, with some of the most requested features getting implemented. The most notable addition is support for labels, which in Google terminology means tags. Just like in Gmail you can label each of your notes, and then you can view notes according to the labels.
