The Vivaldi set up is kind of odd. At any rate, try:
Tools > Bookmarks > Import

Could you elaborate? I only use Safari when something won't work in Firefox, so I don't use it that often, but I have used it for many years and haven't run into many problems I can remember. I'm not defending it, just curious what you found so bad about it.RobertJ wrote:.

It works but there is minimal ability to customize it. Here are some of the things I find annoying:Mo_D wrote: Could you elaborate?

this might be of some interest, as to what Richard Hughes says. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archive ... EHVQNSLG3/, Google Chrome being more popular than openh264 an Gimp, surely this will hurt Firefox userbase

Well Redhat is well down the list of most popular distro's and Firefox is still the default browser on Linux Mint and that is the most popular linux OS by a country mile

hate to tell you that, Distrowatch isnt correct place to go to get the exact numbers of the most popular Distro's are. even Mark Shuttleworth could tell you thatmalliz wrote:http://distrowatch.com/

Until you post those "exact numbers" (which presumably you have ?) you haven't told us anything.
@Yes, most of us know how Distrowatch compiles it's 'chart'.

Re: Which Browser for You After Firefox 57?
i could get the exact amount of Number Downloads for Fedora , iif i cared enough about it but i dont. however if you want them be my guest an go an ask the FedoraProject an im sure they can send you to a place which will display the Download Numberts of Fedora alone. RHEL is totally different Beast. you'd be better off emailing Redhat about thaT ,mightyglydd wrote:Arch5 wrote: hate to tell you that, Distrowatch isnt correct place to go to get the exact numbers of the most popular Distro's are.

In other words you have no idea and not much of a clue where to find out.

This has drifted too far afield from the original topic, which I wasn't comfortable with in the first place. Stop the bickering or I'll be back to lock this.

Re: Which Browser for You After Firefox 57?
Actually you may not be able to get a accurate count (a guess maybe) due to different ways and mirrors you can download Fedora and other Linux distros. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics
Anyways get back on topic.
