With Firefox 3 coming so soon, it would be better if this were first geared towards Firefox 3 users.

Comment 2

I updated it to Firefox 3, adding the "Star"

Comment 3

is this fixed?

Comment 4

No, this should be a separate article, that covers the Library window, as well as the items in comment 0.

Comment 5

Bug 433821 is about smart folders, which is a feature of the Library.

Comment 6

I wrote up the article in the URL for this bug.

If we use this, I think we should remove the How to delete section in the ((Bookmarks)) article.

I also didn't mention moving stuff or sorting in the Bookmarks menu, as that gets kind of confusing. I can add it, though.

[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_bookmarks_alphabetically] could be credited, but I didn't use it for this.

Not all themes have a plus icon for the expander.

Be more specific that you have to drag, not click then drag.

It's hard to see the separator on Linux because the whole row gets drawn when you drag. Just say that you should drag it to where you want it to be.

Include a description of what/where the Bookmarks Toolbar is.

Shift+drag doesn't work for me on Linux.

Mention that sorting isn't recursive (but in simpler terms)

It might be a good idea to mention that you can undo a delete.

(1) OK.
(2) OK.
(3) Argh. OK.
(4) There's a picture right underneath. I added a link to its description in the ((Bookmarks)) article.
(5) The fifth comment in Bug 323438 indicates this is Windows-only. SHOWFOR'd.
(6) OK.
(7) Good call.

Thanks for the review. Marking FIXED; please re-open if you disagree.

Moved to KB and updated the ((Bookmarks)) article.

If I jumped the gun, let me know. Better have something on this than nothing/easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
