My Firefox scrapbook extens. turns all quotes (") char. to quest. marks(?)

[henslee]

What is going on? I googled the bug but find no references. {I know this is a pc groups question but that place can be a ghost town}

1. I do not know the answer

I do not have that extension

but I will kick the thread for you

Yes the computer help group can be a little slow moving.

2. I have little hope for this thread... but,.. thanks. Nice to hear from ya

Actually, its amazingly disorienting to read a long passage where the quotes are all replaced by question marks. Kind of a unique experiment.

3. I think that would make my head explode

What does the scrapbook extension do? Other than put ?'s where " belong!

5. I cant tell you how valuable it is...

Its a great organizing tool,, Dont know how I surfed the web without it. Great way to save a bunch of web pages articles quickly and then go through them later, offline. You can can even just save something as tiny as a highlighted phrase or an email address to your scrapbook. Very useful. You can go back and organize them into folders. I have folders like politics, photos, authors, music. Also, the original web location for each scrapbooked file is saved along with page so you can revist the website when you want. This is from a NYT article on SCRAPBOOK by THOMAS J. FITZGERALD....

Scrapbook is an archiving tools that can help you save and manage collections of Web pages that you want to keep permanently or peruse offline.

It is a free add-on to the Firefox browser (which is available as a download at www.mozilla.org), lets you archive Web pages about as simply as creating bookmarks.

The program opens a pane along the left side of the browser; you can drag pages into it or capture them with a couple of mouse clicks.

The archived pages can be organized in folders, viewed offline and edited with tools that may be useful to researchers, like a yellow highlighter and an in-line commenter for adding notes to selected areas. The pages are saved in HTML format; they retain links and other qualities of Web pages.

ScrapBook (amb.vis.ne.jp/mozilla/scrapbook) is one of an assortment of free add-ons, or extensions, for Firefox, a free open-source browser that has gained popularity as an alternative to Internet Explorer. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linux computers.

8. Me too. I live in fear t hat I will lose my FF links, extensions like I

hear so many here have. I do not have many extensions, though. Do you have a bookmarks back up program?

[KitchenWitch]

10. No, but I do back them up periodically to my flash drive.

9. Most extensions are written by single authors

so I figured the author's page would be the best place to start. Fortunately, this one is conscientious about recording his updates and fixes. I got lucky.
