* '''Editing of bookmarks, tags, notes:''' Having editable title, tags, and notes fields for the selected bookmark is excellent. But if the bookmarks would be listed as dynamic HTML page inline editing as it is used by del.icoi.us or by TiddlyWiki could be an option. | * '''Editing of bookmarks, tags, notes:''' Having editable title, tags, and notes fields for the selected bookmark is excellent.

* '''Check Bookmarks (reply to above):''' Having a few thousand bookmarks dead links come up once in a while and are easily deleted when I notice the website is gone. But more importantly a server can be down temporarily and I do not want to loose important bookmarks by an automated bookmark cleaner. | * '''Check Bookmarks (reply to above):''' Having a few thousand bookmarks dead links come up once in a while and are easily deleted when I notice the website is gone.

* '''Incremental Search (reply to above):''' The problem with Firefox is only that it takes the search field as one string instead of a space separated list with a default AND operator. Also Mozilla/Firefox always destroyed the order of bookmarks so I wrote my own search as bash script that generates a dynamic HTML ant loads it in a Firefox tab (see http:// | * '''Incremental Search (reply to above):''' The problem with Firefox is only that it takes the search field as one string instead of a space separated list with a default AND operator.

* '''Smart Keywords:''' Currently, I can enter a bookmark like this http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%s , add a keyword "ys", and use it to search yahoo from the URL bar, e.g "ys firefox". But if I just enter "ys" I get the search results for "%s". So, it would be great to delete "%s" before it is send to the server. Except, on the website is some text selected. Because in this case is should perform the search for the selected text. | * '''Smart Keywords:''' Currently, I can enter a bookmark like this http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%s , add a keyword "ys", and use it to search yahoo from the URL bar, e.g "ys firefox".

* '''PermaLinks for bookmark searches:''' would be a wonderful tool for frequent tasks and combine it with all the possibilities for bookmarks (keyword, smart keyword, bookmarklet, bookmarks menu, bookmarks toolbar). It has the function of a "smart folder" (Mac) and could for example be used to show all bookmarks with the tag "project1". But unlike in directories ONE bookmark can appear in multiple "smart folders". The URL/link could look like this chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul?s=project1 chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksManager.xul?s=%s | * '''PermaLinks for bookmark searches:''' would be a wonderful tool for frequent tasks and combine it with all the possibilities for bookmarks (keyword, smart keyword, bookmarklet, bookmarks menu, bookmarks toolbar).
