235769 - Add ability to add any bookmark (folder) as a toolbar item.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184504

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement)

Description

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

I love the bookmarks toolbar item in FireFox (et al), and it would be even
cooler if I could drag any bookmark folder (or item) into the toolbar, and have
more than one toolbar with bookmarks in it. I.e. more for the toolbars
customization dialog, or maybe a right-drag feature to bookmark folders, or
something :-)

I'm pretty sure Pierre marked the original a long time ago as WONTFIX, but I 
think it could be useful if implemented.  How to implement it is of course 
another story.

Ben had some ideas on how to implement this.

I think this should be wontfix because boookmarks toolbar isn't widely used
anyways and another toolbar would be used even less

I'm not talking about another toolbar here, just the ability to add more items
(i.e. bookmarks folders) to existing toolbars.

I second this-Galeon has this feature and it's quite useful, especially for
those of us that have several sites that we visit often that we don't want to
fish through our bookmarks folder for and won't all fit in one toolbar (think
visiting 10-15 webcomics per day).  This is also related (somewhat anyway) to
bug 174764 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174764).

I second this too: it's not so uncommon to have a number of common-use bookmarks
in a total of several hundreds. A possible solution would be to use folders...
but it's not very comfortable if you already have folders e.g. a folder for all
the 'development' bookmarks, and then into it a folder for all the 'Mozilla'
related pages - this would be practically as using the regular bookmarks folder

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

basicly sounds like bug 184504, having multiple toolbars or being able to stick folders around on toolbars. let's track the request there.
