* There are several Topics in my life. To name a view: Flightsimulator, Small Business Server, Google Adwords. For all my Topics i have a collection of bookmarks grouped together in a bookmark folder. It would be very handy if i could switch between Topics on the bookmark toolbar. So that when i decide i want to read about Flightsimulator for the next hour or so, i simply load that specific bookmark toolbar with the Flightsimulator bookmarks on it. | |||
* A folder of bookmarks could be dragged to the bookmarks toolbar. Once it's dragged, users should have the choice to either make each bookmark a separate button on the toolbar or if the entire folder should be under one button. If the folder is under one button, clicking that button will "Open All (the bookmarks in that folder) in Tabs." | *When the pointer is over the Booksmark Toolbar make the scrolling slide the bookmark along sideway | ||
* The bookmark toolbar should be made flexible to be able to show as multiple rows. With the current widescreen and increasing monitor sizes, we have plenty of space on right and left side of the webpages showing blank. I would like to use them to see the live bookmarks readily. | **this can be useful if there is a lot of bookmark on the bar | ||

It would be really sweet if I could set urls of bookmarks in the same way. One click on a bookmark could open multiple tabs. | *There are several Topics in my life.

* Rather than moving all of the bookmarks at once when editing toolbars you should be able to place a single bookmark wherever you want, as if it were a button. | *Allow for the size of text displayed on toolbar to be user-editable, so more bookmarks can fit onto the bookmarks toolbar | ||

* Dragging text onto a toolbar bookmark with a magic %s in its URL should navigate to the bookmark with the appropriate string substituted in. | *Allow assigning an icon as in the first Firefox versions (especially useful for websites that do not show an icon). | ||
* Have a collapsible bookmark pallete which expands to show an array of bookmarks. This would be especially helpful for users who like to simply use the fav icons only. | *Rather than moving all of the bookmarks at once when editing toolbars you should be able to place a single bookmark wherever you want, as if it were a button. | ||
* Make the bookmark toolbar easily accessible via keyboard, just like the main menu. More info here: [[User:Dregio/Bookmark Toolbar Shortcuts]]. | *Being able to hide the icon (and just display the text), to make folders look like menu's. | ||
* An idea for having more bookmarks on the toolbar, when you mouseover an "expand bookmarks button" on the bookmarks tool bar the bookmark toobar could grow down much like the "save password for this page" dialog box grows down. Within this grown down section all the bookmarks that overflow into the drop down menu at the end of the bookmark bar could be displayed neatly in rows. This would remove a click from the process of selecting a bookmark. | *Dragging text onto a toolbar bookmark with a magic %s in its URL should navigate to the bookmark with the appropriate string substituted in. | ||

*perhaps turning off the "hover opens bookmarks" might be a good idea. when the mouse even comes close to the nav bar bookmark link, it proceeds to open the nav and slow down/stop or lockup the browser.file/edit/tools don't do this because they don't have a ton of bookmarks in them. | *perhaps turning off the "hover opens bookmarks" might be a good idea. when the mouse even comes close to the nav bar bookmark link, it proceeds to open the nav and slow down/stop or lockup the browser.file/edit/tools don't do this because they don't have a ton of bookmarks in them. | ||
