'Projects' doesn't appear to be a terribly useful concept in Bluefish. It doesn't allow the user to search and/or replace within a project. And there's no ftp utility to upload or synchronise a project. In any case, Bluefish remembers the directories you've navigated to previously and shows those in the drop down list. So I wouldn't bother creating a project.
To search (and replace) within a site, you have to open all its files. To do that, navigate to the base directory, then right click it and choose 'open advanced'. Then choose '.html' (or .js, .css etc as the case may be) and click 'ok'.
There is however a more convenient way to go about this. When using 'Open advanced...', place the bit of text you're searching for in the 'Contains pattern' field, before clicking 'ok'. Bluefish will then open only those files that contain the bit of text you want to find (and replace).
To set Firefox as the default browser in which to open the current html document, open Preferences/External programs then click 'add' in the Browser tab. Click left and enter 'Firefox' then click right and enter 'firefox -remote 'openURL' || firefox %s&'. Delete all the other browsers.
Quanta Plus is another worthy html editor. However, its installation requires all sorts of KDE libraries that in my opinion bloat a trim and taut Ubuntu system.
