Web Browsers

When you install Bookmark Buddy it automatically configures optimal settings for any of the following browsers installed on your computer:

To add support for a browser that you install after installing Bookmark Buddy:

Use the Remove button to remove a browser from the Browser menu.

Drag names up or down the list box to change the order in which they appear on the Browser menu. Highlight the browser you want Bookmark Buddy to use as your default browser (this needn’t be the same as the browser that Windows associates with web pages).

You can use any browser to open a bookmark from the Open with menu item available when you right-click on a bookmark title or on the Open Bookmark icon, or . There is also an option in the Notes window to set individual bookmarks to open with a particular web browser.

You can bookmark a page open in any browser window by right-clicking on the button, selecting the browser, then the title of the window you want to bookmark.

Known limitations

Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape 8 are compatible with Bookmark Buddy except that you can only fetch from the frontmost browser tab (i.e. right-clicking on the button does not allow you to bookmark other pages that you might have open in the same browser).

If you are running Windows 95 you may find that not all of these browsers are fully supported.

Unsupported browsers

Other browsers, including Google Chrome and Safari, are not fully supported because they do not support one of the two standard protocols for inter-application communication (COM and DDE). Bookmark Buddy can open bookmarks in these browsers, but it cannot fetch bookmarks  (but you can still drag a bookmark from the browser’s address bar onto Bookmark Buddy).

To add an unsupported browser:
