I’m planning to write a script for importing my bookmarks into an eZ publish site. Simpy is a great service (searching is based on Apache Lucene) but it is often crawling under heavy traffic when I really need it. In the meantime my Firefox bookmarks list keeps growing and growing, altough I hardly can’t find anything back in it 
I found out that it’s not easy to parse the bookmarks file of Firefox with a SAX or DOM parser, since it’s not well-formed. I tried to do a cleanup with HTML Tidy but that really messed up the folder structure. I decided to first use the Bookmarks Synchronizer extension for Firefox to export the whole bookmarks list to XBEL. Afterwards I’ll import the XBEL data into an eZ publish content tree. The hierarchical folder structure will not remain intact, since I prefer tags.
Contact me if you have any remarks or if you’d like to participate in development.

Recently I started reporting spam to SpamCop with the Okopipi Thunderbird extension. With a single click, all mails marked as spam can be reported in batch with one single e-mail to your SpamCop submission e-mail address. You’ll get a mail back from SpamCop with a list of links to reporting forms, one for each spam mail you submitted.
I didn’t found a way to open all these links in the e-mail with one click. If you have a solution, then please let me know.
Also the reporting process is a bit slow. You either have to scroll or click on an anchor to go to the submit button at the bottom of the page. So I made a small bookmarklet which will submit the reporting form for me.
SpamCop submit reporting form bookmarklet (right-click, and choose “Bookmark this link…” or drag & drop it to your bookmarks toolbar)
Finally I only have to open the list of links in the e-mail, switch between the tabs in Firefox by using Ctrl+Tab and clicking the bookmarklet once for each tab.
Maybe the bookmarklet can be automatically executed with Greasemonkey, but I didn’t try this yet.
