how about ordering bookmarks dynamical by the criterion "links used most often".
so the more often you click on a link in your bookmarks, the higher it will get
ranked and the higher it will get displayed. in the first time this might become
confusing and distracting since stuff will change all the time, but as time goes
by there will evolve a clear order which enables efficient use of your bookmarks.

I'd like to work on this. I don't guarantee it will be done fast, since I still
have to get familiar with the code related to this.

was ment for firebird

This is much more suited to be an extension.  This requires adding information
to the bookmarks service such as number of times visited, as well as dynamically
modifying the contents of bookmarks.html at whatever interval the optimization
would take place.  This is a lot of code, and since it certainly wouldn't be the
default behaviour, it belongs outside of the FB core.

VERIFYING obvious WONTFIX bugs.  Filter on firebirdWontFix to filter these bugs.
 I skipped a few that I'm unsure about from their summary and will manually go
through them.
