Problem: Right now, every type of bookmark folder is stuffed into the bookmarks menu. It is super cluttered with the menu coommands(show all bookmarks, bookmark this page, bookmark all tabs), unsorted bookmarks, bookmarks toolbar, and the actual bookmarks. This is very cluttered by mixing everything together. With the addition of adding bookmarklet, it will be even more cluttered. Currently, there is no way of quickly accessing bookmarklets without the bookmarks toolbar. Storing bookmarkslets in the top level bookmarks folder would make it easy to access, but it would mean opening that cluttered mess. Solution: It would be better to have a bookmarks button in the navigation toolbar that can access a subdirectory of the bookmarks toolbar as the top level menu, this way it keeps it clean. Solution partially implememted else where: Safari has implemented reading list and treat that as a top level concept on par with bookmarks. firefox advantage with more flexibility: It would be better if firefox supported bookmarklets as a top level concept. This would make it even better than safari, because it can support many features like instapaper, delicious, readability, and many more awesome bookmarklets. All these features wcan be qicky accessed without installing site specific add-ons.
