Can anyone explain the rhyme or reason on how my Galaxy Nexus decides whether or not to have bookmark show as an image in the bookmarks section? 90% of my bookmarks don't show the image of the web page when i look them up. Is there something i am not doing? I am not talking about the local bookmarks, i am referring to the regular bookmarks. I am not interested in any browser but stock. Thank you.
You have to load the page, then it adds that image.
Is there a way to NOT show images and show bookmarks in a text list ?

I like to have 30+ bookmarks and prefer to organise on to folders. Opera 10 on my HD was superb. Any apps to achieve similar for the Desire?
You can create folders on the home screens and save bookmarks in them if that helps?
@ Firedup, thanks. That helps.
Another work round that I have found is to export my bookmarks from Chrome to Google Docs. I can then open Google Docs in the Desire brwoser and bookmark the Google Docs folder page. I then have access to all my PC's bookmarks from Desire. Not very elegant but it seems to work. But anyone know how to import the bookmarks from Google Docs?
One thing that is very handy is to use GestureSearch from google labs: http://gesturesearch.googlelabs.com/
You simply draw the letters with your fingers on the screen.
Ie, if you wanted to find a link to this page, you start by drawing an O with your finger, then and r then a g - and b then it would probably be displaying your bookmark.
Hi.
I was looking for a widget that displays your bookmarks as thumbnails right on the screen. Found two - Live Bookmarks and Visual Bookmarks.
The first does it's job alright - it updates bookmarks as I change them, though it doesn't display them right on screen - first you have to click on the icon.
The second, however it looks just as it shuold, does a crappy job when it comes to settings. It doesn't refresh my b-marks properly, and settings doesn't really work the way I set them to be.
Do you happen to know any other app that might do the job I need done?
Or maybe you could make one?

No problem man.
I'm not sure what the feelings are on reviving such an old topic but I have been wondering exactly this and, after following the advice google so kindly showed me, I was loathe to discover the current visual bookmarks explicitly states that it displays the bookmarks from the stock browser (this was confirmed when I installed to try it). So, are there any widgets to display firefox bookmarks?
To add a bookmark icon on desktop
This is the kind of widget I was looking for and Firefox does it out of the box!
Just hold click in the link bar and and Firefox proposes you to add a link on your home screen. Actually this is all I want, and works perfectly adding even a nice icon!
Is there a way to open bookmarks without opening a new tab? My tabs fill up quickly and i dont see a quick way of opening my bookmarks without opening a new tab for each bookmark. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you're saying here? I just tested opening up a bookmark in my browser and it didn't open up in a new tab but the same tab I had open?
edit: do you mean you want to open like 3 bookmarks but don't want to have to go into the tabs and select a new one each time? If you have a certain set of bookmarks you want to open each time, I think you can put them in a subfolder and when you long hold on the folder you can open all in new tabs in one step.
i think he is asking how to get to your bookmarks without opening a new tab.
I will say that i have been pissed cause i couldnt find them and this helped a ton! LOL. And it syncs with chrome. sweet!
I'm trying to use the bookmark widget. I place the widget on a screen and get the Choose a Bookmark box but the box is empty. I do have Bookmarks in Chrome. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.
A lot of people seem to be having the same problem, me included. I found a minor fix for it but it's still a bit annoying.
If you want to add a bookmark to the home screen then first find chrome in Google Play and uninstall the updates. Now you should be able to add bookmarks to your home screen, when you have added all the bookmarks you want you can reinstall the latest chrome updates. Being able to add bookmarks still doesn't work but you have the bookmarks you placed already.
Thanks. That workaround should be good enough.
