Sort of.  It does bookmarklets just fine.  Here are some I've made: 
http://derosia.com/bookmarklets/  There are hundreds more.

That said, they aren't NEARLY as powerful as Galeon's Smart Bookmarks. 
For instance, as far as I know you can't use an arbitrary image for the 
bookmark.  That was by far my favorite feature.

Since Firefox can't do that, and I think the site icons are worthless, I 
went the other way, and removed the icons, and go text only on my 
bookmarks.  If someone knows how to use an arbitrary image for firefox 
bookmarks, I'd LOVE know how.

Here's mys screenshot:
