''Remove folder and bookmark icons from Bookmark Toolbar, Sorting Bookmarks, and possibly undoing sort by name:'' I can't think of a logical order within folders that works better than alphabetical in most cases -- one exception is a bookmarks folder containing bookmarks to create a set of app-tabs in a specific order controlled by prefixing by numbers or many bookmark separators. The bookmarks toolbar is a possible exception but I have all of my bookmarks automatically sorted. I make use of bookmark separators to group bookmarks so that bookmarks are sorted within each group but not moved to another group. Here is a picture of my Bookmark Toolbar :http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx5_before_after.png Looks something like: [boldface are Folders (blue) vs. Bookmarks (red)] :'''*5.0* _ Blogs Chaos SUMO''' | # + < > G GV H L Pz Sp Wi |''' K S '''sw| nBk Sc '''BF BugsBML'''| ... :names are kept very short to save space on the toolbar 1-3 chars for most of them. The bookmarks there are used like toolbar buttons and they are all bookmarklets (contain JavaScript). The '''"K" folder''' on my bookmarks toolbar contains mostly [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcuts] most of which are bookmarklets, along with references to support and mozillazine articles. So I don't really need many bookmarks showing on the toolbar. The '''folder and bookmark favicons are removed by a style''' managed by the Stylish extension: * '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ * '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser<br>http://userstyles.org/styles/46947/ The '''Sorting of bookmarks is by an extension''', you can exclude any of the three major folders like the Bookmarks Toolbar. Don't use the automatic sort though, switch it to manual. Sorting takes about 3-5 seconds for all of my bookmarks. * '''SortPlaces''' :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sortplaces/ Another place that I use '''bookmark separators''' is at the end of huge folders, so that I can review naming, content and keyword assigned before allowing into the main portion of a folder. You might be able to see your '''original bookmark order''' by going to the Library list ("Ctrl+Shift+B") and changing the order there on the "Views" menu > Sort > to "Unsorted". ("''Command''+Shift+B" on a Mac for the Library List) ---- '''For additional help''' working with your '''bookmarks and history''' see * '''Bookmarks''' -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks * '''Sorting and rearranging bookmarks''' <br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox * '''Viewing the browsing history''' <br>http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox
