I would be delighted to see support for the Windows standard use of F2 to rename. This would greatly improve my bookmark experience. The properties approach is cumbersome by comparison. - One of the reasons people don't use bookmarks so much is the default names are often not particularly meaningful to the user & it's too much effort to change them.

One approach I have used in IE to make bookmarks more visually accessible is to use custom icons - as IE bookmarks are actually shortcuts this is fairly easy. "One picture is worth a thousand words" and it does make it so much quicker to visually locate a bookmark or bookmark group when you have lots of them. This is probably the only feature of IE that would incline me to use it in preference to Firefox. [[User:Pennyrg|Pennyrg]]
