Subversion for Firefox Bookmarks - Saves my Butt
*Maybe it was just my toenail...* I wouldn't have lost my butt, but my Firefox preferences did get messed up somehow. For some reason all the search sites disappeared in the search bar on the right top side of my Firefox window. All that was left was "Add engines..." but I couldn't add any and I use the search bar all the time. I tried to reinstall over my current version but it didn't help. *svn co -r 30 svn://pwizardry.com/foo strange_name.default* Using Subversion for my Preferences is better than a backup. I committed at least one update before I noticed the problem. If it was a simple backup I would have saved a corrupted copy or two and a restore may not have helped. As it was, I could just blow away my Preferences and check out an earlier version. My toenail is fine. [/items/Subversion] permanent link
