BookmarkPreviews: Cover Flow for Firefox bookmarks
The only problem is that we can't imagine a circumstance where it would be faster to scroll through your bookmarks this way than to just click on the one you're looking for. Plus most folks we know use online bookmarking services like del.icio.us to store their bookmarks anyway.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I use online social bookmarking sites too, but I can totally see this being useful if it could take advantage of integration with Firefox and del.icio.us via that add-on. Glancing at an image of some obscure blog bookmark or another site one is unfamiliar with makes it much easier to identify a site later on than picking its possibly-uninformative headline out of a flat list of 'marks.

I have about 1200 bookmarks in Firefox so I don't see this being useful at all. It's OK when you have just a few bookmarks, but for a big-scale bookmarking experience I recommend using Google Bookmarks or del.icio.us so you know that your data is relatively safe and doesn't depent on the stability of Firefox or IE for that matter.

I think that Google Web Bookmarks service is extraordinarily useful for many reasons, but to recognize the bookmarks could arise some frustrations. For this reason, I’ve developed an Add-On for IE called Quick History for Google. Its goal is providing a visual help to recognize the bookmarks easier. This Add-On creates and inserts a thumbnail of the target page aside of bookmark.
It has other features. Please, check it.
