I was not using AvantBrowser (http://avantbrowser.com/) because Alert Bookmarks (http://alertbookmarks.com/) would not capture the sites I was browsing with AvantBrowser.

Well here is how to make it work!

First, of course, you have to set up AvantBrowser in Alert Bookmarks under Select Browser.

Goto Alert Bookmarks main menuand select ' Select Browser '
Click box next to ' User Defined 1 '
Click ' Browse... ' and locate your Avant Browser .exe file
Usually at: C:Program FilesAvant Browseravant.exe
Now under ' Enter the Name of this Browser as it appears in its Title bar. ' put:
Avant Browser
Ok now were are at Step 3, just press the ' Skip ' button to the right.
Now at step 4 we are going to select ' Mouse Based Copy & Paste ' then click the ' Set ' button under ' 'Location:' Coordinates: '
Now Avant Browser has loaded and poped up a window named ' Find 'Address' Box Coordinates ' and you need to click the ' Next ' button which pops up a box with a cross hair to the far left side. You need to place this crosshair over the Avant Browser Address bar (Where you type the URL to the site you wish to visit into.) and then click ' Location Is Correct ' and tehn click the ' Okay ' button on the bottom left. Then click ' Okay 'again under the ' Select A Web Browser... ' window at the bottom left.
Now goto Avant Browser and type in any url to a site you wish to bookmark and click the ' Go ' button or hit enter key which should bring you to the website you wish to bookmark. Goto Alert Bookmarks and the section you wish to bookmark this site under and click the ' Add Bookmark From Browser ' button and now the box with the crosshair pops up again to confirm the Avant Browser Address bar location. make sure the crosshair is still over your Avant Browsers Adress bar (Where you type in the URL of the website you wish to visit.) and then click the box next to ' Show Only If Needed ' and then click ' Location Is Correct '
Thats It! now click ' Save and Close ' and have fun!
I hope you understand all that! Enjoy!

There is one problem with this which is Alert Bookmarks does not have a setting to always open bookmarks in a new window... so it will reuse the same window instead of a new tab unless you right click the bookmark you are launching in Alert Bookmarks and select ' Open In New Browser Window ' .
Hopefully we can get Alert Bookmarks to fix this issue!

To work around this issue and get new tabs for Alert Bookmarks do this:

Open Avant Browser
Now click ' Tools ' and select ' Avant Browser Options '
Now select ' New Window ' from the left.
Now you will see in the middle ' Always create a new window for: ' under this check the box to the left of ' Address Box ' and click OK or Apply at the bottom.
Your all set.. Enjoy! :p
