I have a suggestion for enhanced organization of the bookmarks toolbar.

Currently I find myself with two 'categories' of bookmarks in there: personal, and work / research.  It would facilitate things if I could select whether a given bookmark was to be aligned left or right depending on the category I set.  That way I would be able to automatically go one way for work, the other for personal.  

Another option would be to allow users to create a second level of the bookmark menu (if you begin to have too many) so that we could categorize that way.

Thanks :)

why not using folders? or tagging elements an searching them in the locationbar?

Oh I know that I can organize them if I go into the bookmarks menu.... but this pertains specifically to the bookmarks toolbar.

Maybe the best approach here would be to, like in Word, allow users to create a separate toolbar for specific folders... 

Would that work?

While I see the suggestion may make sense for a group of users, we don't plan to implement it as a core feature, add-ons may do that though.
