Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 158543

Under Netscape 4.x or IE, the bookmarks dropdown can be nice and thin, allowing
lots of space for cascading to the right.
eg. 4.x has simple "Add Bookmark", "File Bookmark", "Edit Bookmarks". So long as
you keep your own bookmark folder names short, the whole dropdown remains thin.

Under Mozilla, using bloated headings such as "Bookmark This Page [lots of blank
space] Ctrl+D", the dropdown is guaranteed to waste almost twice as much screen
space as it needs to.

"Bookmark This Page" is ludicrous. You'd hardly be bookmarking some other random
page, would you? It's just more UI blubber. I'd prefer not the see the shortcut
key listings there all the time either. Having them there as the only reason the
dropdown is so wide is awful.

Hi,
Mozillas code seems to work on using a lot of space we might beable to fix this
but it will probably take a lot of time so you might need to be patient.

fyi, with Phoenix, it's actually "Add to Bookmarks".
