NOTE: I HAVE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT THIS POST
Following up on this.
It finally occurred to me to stop adding shortcuts to my safari browser. Instead, I just click and drag them to a desktop folder and rename them www.something-obvious-and-memorable. Then, instead of opening safari and clicking and dragging, I simply type the command-spacebare combination, type the name of the link into Spotlight, hit the down arrow, and hit “return.” The Safari browser then opens right to the page.
What would be great is a Firefox extenstion that opened those same bookmarks. So far they seem to be unable to read the xml code. If I could correct this, then I could program some of the links (like zillow.com which doesn’t work with Safari) to be opened by Firefox.
ERRATTA: The Firefox browser can be made to work.
Nice. I like it.
