Hmm.... do you ever find bookmarks mysteriously appearing on your Mozilla bar? I haven't a clue where this one came from, considering the site doesn't even exist...

Oh, yes, that happens to me all the time. I mean, look at this:



What "TUS" is supposed to mean I have no idea, and as for "B'n'B"... =;)

Hmm... so you have a link to a site listing Bed n' Breakfast establishments. Seems a strange thing to have. =:P

Well, all the weekend travelling he does - seems quite logical for an inveterate itinerant.

All this talk of webpages makes me think I should come up with something.. especially if I'll soon have actual bandwidth myself, though I think I'd still leave it on a friendly colo instead. But it will (hopefully!) be very nice to have the option of serving files locally..

I'm *hoping* to have that option myself next year. Whilst I already have hosting for all my sites, it would be incredibly useful for storing the TV Whirl video files somewhere other than Tripod.co.uk. I don't think it'd be much slower either. =:P

o no! ^_^

Can Mozilla be commanded by a remote site to add a bookmark, then? If not, maybe it's just some bizarrely unlikely bug.. as you note, it'd seem a bit pointless to force a new bookmark on someone if the domain doesn't exist. (Didn't ICANN explicitly forbid single letter domains some time back?)

After a bit of messing, I think I can guess what's happened. Presumably I was typing in an address with an 'o' in it, and accidentally dragged the address down a few millimetres with the mouse onto the bar, probably when trying to select all the text in the address bar. I've done that a few times, although never managed to create a link before now! =:o

Ahh, that would make sense. ^_^ I didn't think Mozilla suffered from those design "features".. add a moment of lag for some reason, and it'd be easy to have some extraneous mouse movement have a slightly untoward effect as that.

Which is, of course, not to say the application isn't possessed, just that it's really much less likely. Probably.

That has happened to me as well. I was very thankful when FireFox 0.8 added a 'Bookmarks Toolbar Folder' in the normal bookmarks hierarchy, allowing bookmarks or entire folders to be arranged much easier in a single window.
