I downloaded AM-Deadlink yesterday. After it loaded my Firefox Favorites, I clicked on a button, I forget which one, but it said that most of my favorites could not be found and the rest had an error by the link. I just uninstalled it.

Yes, Lloyd, AM-Deadlink is limited in some aspects. I found that it only checked 483 of my Bookmarks in Firefox, while I actually have 3160. In IE it checked a lesser amount (both IE and Firefox have the same links). I guess that was the reason I uninstalled it a few years back. One of the new fixes in AM-Deadlink is that it now searches Firefox as a separate entity from Mozilla. Just a pity it doesn't search ALL the links, though. Powermarks on the other hand does an automatic check of links (I have mine set to a daily check). It works equally with all the popular browsers. It marks suspect links so they can be manually deleted whenever. The search feature in AM-Deadlink is limited to the words in the actual link listing. Powermarks allows "keywords" to be added to any link and it will conduct a search just using those keywords. For example, I have a site recorded as "Adriamycin http://www.bmi.net/mcaron/adria.html" in my Bookmarks. If I used the search in AM-Deadlink for "cancer" it would not find that bookmark amongst all the other references to cancer. Powermarks would locate it though as one of the keywords I have recorded in its Properties is "cancer". An interesting feature with AM-Deadlink is that it will search for "favicons". Those are those little icons that appear in the URL address window and in your bookmarks on some sites. Some websites don't have them written into their coding. They serve no purpose other than making a long list a lot more interesting and making some site readily identifiable from all the others. Lance P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
