I've finally upgraded to Firefox 3, and after 10 minutes, I've found that I can't live with the "awesome" smart location bar.

Here's how to disable it:

1. Navigate to about:config and continue past the warning message

2. Search for the setting browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped and change its value to true

3. Restart Firefox

My collection of bookmarked RSS feeds is getting larger and larger. Up until now, I've been using Firefox as my RSS reader and everything integrates nicely into the bookmarks toolbar.

Now that the collection of bookmarks has grown, Firefox is becoming a pain to maintain everything. Plus, I have a different collection of bookmarked feeds on my work PC and my home PC.

I've decided to make the jump over to Google reader. Google reader has an import feature that requires a OMPL file. Firefox only allows you to export bookmarks to an HTML file. Enter this plugin:

It adds an option to export Firefox bookmarks to OMPL format. I've now imported everything into Google reader. I'm not sure how long I'll stick with it though, I may check out some of the other online RSS readers.
