The bookmarks thing should be addressed in Mozilla/Firefox.
While being able to drag bookmarks onto your tool bar is a cool fearture the rest of it sucks.

Netscape 4.7 was optimal for me. I would rather have to click on "More bookmars" than to put up with that scrolling feature for a large bookmark file. The scrolling feature does not work right at all. It starts scrolling when you don't want it to...and it is like a game to stop the scrolling once it starts.

Also I don't like How difficult it is to store a book mark in a particular folder.
Remember Netscapes "File Book Mark". The book mark file would just pop up as usual and you would move your mouse over the bookmark folder you wanted and just let go of the mouse and it would drop right in. No scrolling through directorys in some tiny window.
They should really GOBACK on that part. It was much better.

Thanks for all of your comments. Someday the right person will hear my bookmark complaint and do something about it...LOL

Someone checked on it once for me. They said that Mozilla thinks it would be a corruption of there code...Non Standard. I don't accept that. Nothing good in life is standard.

I really don't have a problem with the bookmark interface, but the Firefox guys do get a lot of complaints in that area. A new interface is going to be introduced in later versions: it was originally planned for 1.0, along with a bunch of other things, but they had to drop them in order to actually get a realistic release date.

There ARE some bookmarks extensions that add the type of usability you seem to want, but I agree the interface could be better. Still, it's quite workable for basic use.
