I have no problem accessing bookmarklets the real problem is Firefox 8.0 making
many of them unusable and searching for bookmarklets is no longer reliable in
Fx 8.0 because of that bug. (Bug 565541 - Web sites shouldn't be allowed to resize main window)
I have keyword shortcuts associated with all of my bookmarklets and most of my
other keyword shortcuts involve substitution. All of those are in one folder "K"
for keywords which is directly on the bookmarks toolbar, plus a
few bookmarklets also directly on the bookmarks toolbar.
Each name/title in that "K" folder begins with the keyword name so if I
forget the keyword it is easily found by sight or (formerly) by search.
There are subfolders in that folder with other bookmarks that I share that
do not have a keyword nor are they bookmarklets but are in those folders
because like the bookmarklets, I share them with others.
