Description

[Verdi [:verdi] Best to slack me]

This is the implementation followup to bug 994901. We want to display the 10 most recent bookmarks inline instead of in a sub-menu.

Here's the mockup.

After discussing w/ the UX team, we decided to move forward with this design.

• Exposed recent bookmarks in the menu & indent the title
• Move "unsorted bookmarks" below recent bookmarks and tags

I hope there will be a hidden pref to disable the exposed recent bookmarks? It would be *very* annoying for me if not. I know what I do, so I also know where my bookmarks are and there are two things I don't want: a) longer mouse paths and b) scrolling to see all my bookmark folders… This _improvement_ will definitively reduce my productivity if it cannot be disabled. Please take these downsides into consideration, thanks.
