Hi,

Quite happy so far with Firefox 3. Lots of features and improvements I
was awaiting made it here.

I don't know where to post my issue/suggestions and if it will reach
the developers but one of the thing Firefox 3 needs back is its
resizable bookmark panel.

1) When you D a page, it brings up the bookmark panel. Well now that
panel is no longer resizable so it's difficult to navigate through
everything before finding to right destination. (even more annoying
when you have a larger display).

(What's also strange is the fact that the panel in "Bookmark all tabs"
is the same as before. And resizable.)


2) This is a second suggestion that might be less important for me
than the first one but here you go: I'd very much like Firefox to give
us the choice, maybe as an option in preference, to automatically
select the last folder used when we bookmark a new page.

For example, when I do my researches the pages I bookmark will most
certainly need to be bookmarked in the same place. As of now, the
bookmark panel shows up and I have to manually select the folder each
time. It would be neat if when I D a page, the last folder in which I
bookmarked something would show up by default instead of "Bookmark
Menu".


Thanks,
Gabriel

I agree on resizing the bookmark panel. I can not resize mine either
and it's driving me crazy. I'm about ready to switch browsers because
I can't efficiently bookmark anymore. Takes me forever to navigate all
of my intricate sub folders to find the right place to place a
bookmark. :(

This does not exactly allowing resizing, but to increase the default size of
the panel, and the size of the folder list on expanding use the following in
UserChrome.css in your profile folder. Adjust the pixel sizes to suit:

/* Increase initial size of bookmarks panel */
#editBookmarkPanelContent
{
min-width:410px !important;
}

/* Increase size of the expanded bookmarks panel */
#editBMPanel_folderTree
{
min-width:400px !important;
min-height:400px !important;
}
