automatically show hidden bookmarks even if there is room for them

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have too many bookmarks in navigation toolbar (so some are hidden, you have
to click the ">>" to see them

plenty of room for the first bookmark that is currently hidden)


Actual Results:  
this room on toolbar stays empty

Expected Results:  
show hidden bookmark that could fit in this empty space in the toolbar

under Windows too

I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile.
