I like to change the icons in bookmarks to something easily identifiable. Can't
seem to do this in Firefox.

Also there appears no easy way to backup bookmarks.

Bookmark arranging should follow normal windows rules. Present system is AWFUL

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.N/A

1. Try FavIcon picker extension
http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=617

2. Bookmarks are stored in your profile. The file is called bookmarks.html -
pretty easy to back up. Also, bookmark backup extension

3. "Bookmark arranging should follow normal windows rules. " Don't understand.

This is three bugs and should be filed as separate items.
1) the favicons can be disabled for a uniform appearance or if you want to set a
favicon for a single bookmark, is a enhancement that has been rejected, it can
be added to firefox via an extension.

2) bookmarks -> manage bookmarks
in the bookmark manager window choose file -> export

3) There are several sorting methods available. 'normal window rules' is not a
clear statement as to what firefox should do.
