Mozilla Add-ons....

You know you have a different map of the world when you cannot find add-ons you need with the search words you enter. I know there's a good add-on for editing inside of bulletin boards/blogs, for HTML with URLs, italics, etc. I could still use this, despite Live Journal's upgrades to their system. Can't remember the name, and a friend is holding my tower incognito!

And I still want an add-on that will tell me when I last visited a site. I need to tidy up cobwebs!

I've decided to modify the crap out of WIN 8. Any suggestions for WIN 8 mods to make it a better work machine cheerfully accepted.

Next time I want to budget for the equivalent of an Apple Mac. They may no longer be the great machine they are now, so not promising....

Sorry to ask again. Today, I make the change -- if I can figure it out. Using Firefox 18.0.1 right now.

Grump -- browser add-ons

I have had one of these before, so I know it's possible. Why hasn't anyone created a browser add-on that not only shows you when you last visited a site, it also, when you are managing your bookmarks, is capable of pinging an actual site to tell you if the link still exists?

I've looked for cobweb finders and delete-rs, looked for URL search and confirm -- the combination of keywords I've tried is not turning anything up. Has anyone else found a Firefox add-on that has this ability? I've been searching the add-on section -- it may be time to search the Internet.

I freely admit that as a writer, I am a magpie where information is concerned. I've bookmarked everything from sites on making soap to naming customs among Asiatic clans. I've started re-organizing, but it will be a long process without ping help. I can look for a successor site later, but it would be great to be able to dump 20 links because the page or even the site no longer exists.
