FF 2 allowed bookmark window to float separately & I could see the
list via drop down menu,

where as FF3 the bookmark window remains stuck with address bar, how
can I detach it from the address bar?

This is how FF3 is making it appear small & attached to address bar, I
have a long list of nested bookmarks hence having problems.

Rom,
I added the following lines
--------------
/* Bookmark Popup */
#editBookmarkPanel {
margin-top:50px !important;
margin-left:2500px !important;

}
------------
but it does not do what I need,
I basically want that when I click the drop down arrow on the book
mark window, it should then be stretchable so I can adjust the size as
needed.

Thanks

Thanks Rom,
Openbook extension as per your suggestion does the job what I needed.
You saved my day now I can easily navigate to deep rooted folder.
