My bookmarks bar consists mainly of folders grouping bookmarks. Currently, if you click a folder in the Bookmarks Bar and it displays, you can't move the cursor to the left or right (the next bookmark folder) and have the already opened folder close and the new one the cursor is now over open automatically. You have to click somewhere else to close the folder, then select the next one.
You can't simply click the correct folder first either - the currently active one needs to be closed first.

It would be nice to have the functionality like Firefox 3 does, so that it is possible to click once and just move the mouse over each folder, opening(showing) the contents of each folder as the cursor moves over it.

Similar to how the OS X Main menu works.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have multiple folders with bookmarks inside in bookmark bar
2. Click a folder on bookmark bar
3. Move mouse cursor to the next bookmark bar folder along
Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Previously opened folder on bookmark bar should close and the folder on bookmark bar under cursor should open.

Toolbars aren't menu bars on Mac OS X.
