Copernic is great tool. Unfortunately, after a computer crash a couple years ago, I never reloaded it. I had actually bought the advanced version to show support for the developers. I may have to look at it again.

I went to download Copernic today, but it is only for Windows — and I use Macs. I only mention this because I thought it might be a clue to Ila East's problem.

I only use Firefox, and Copernic has always worked just fine for me. I wish I could tell you why, but I really don't know why it would work on mine and not on yours. Sorry!

Thank you for the post, Gregory.<br />

I've heard of RoboForm and some others that have similar functionality, but I've always been concerned about security. Do you (or anyone else who has tried one of these programs) know of any issues?<br />
<br />
I would love to be able to let an application do the remembering for me!

One website thats also kind of a genealogy "tool" is Twitter. If you follow genealogy-minded folks, you get genealogy-types of "tweets". Some folks "tweet" websites for genealogy, and some tweet industry news, or highlights of blog postings. I've found lots of great genealogy information via Twitter.

One "cool tool" I've discovered is Prism for Firefox. It's a Firefox add-on that allows you to create a very small (less than 1 MB) desktop application out of any website. I have used it to make desktop apps out of my favorite genealogy sites. It's especially useful when you're not in your browser and you don't feel like opening and it scroll through all your bookmarks to find a site. One of my more useful applications I've made was created from Rootweb's SSDI search page.…

Thanks Dae! Copernic really is a good search tool/engine. I don't always turn to it first, but when I'm not getting any results on other search engines, I remember to go to Copernic then. Isn't that silly? But I'm rarely disappointed. It seems to find little hidden gems that other engines miss. I've only used the free version though, so can't really say about the $ version myself. So if you haven't tried it yet, definitely check it out.

I find that I need to store a lot of user account names and passwords for the various sites that I use. I currently have upwards of 100 different userids and passwords. It was hard to remember them all because each web site has differeent requirements for paswword length and so on. Then I came across RoboForm Pro from Siber Systems Inc. <a href="http://www.roboform.com">http://www.roboform.com</a>. This program securely keeps track of all of my userids and passwords.

In addition, it automatically and instantly fills out web page forms where you have to enter your name and address and other such information. In addtion, I can securly syncronize multiple computers with RoboForm allowing me to use my userids and passwords on my laptop and my desktop. RoboForm has increased my productivity quite a bit.<br />
