i press Ctrl+D and a very annoying little **** comes up on the top right corner of my screen, waiting for me to press the tiny arrow button to expand the folders view, so i could select a folder where to save my bookmark...

the question is.. WHY THE **** ISNT THE THING ALREADY EXPANDED, SO I DONT HAVE TO CLICK THE ARROW ALL THE TIME????? :s

example: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/vsfnnay9/moz1.JPG

THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED BY DEFAULT !!!!!! like so: http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/f8ongfks/moz2.JPG

Chosen solution

That is not designed into Firefox. If you do not want an Add-on, then you are confined to what is offered within Firefox.

An Add-on will do that and more: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/?src=ss

  • After installing, set options Add-ons > Extensions, click on extension, click Options; particularly those in the Panel tab of the Options window
  • See image below this reply to see what you can get with CTRL+D

To keep down the bloat. Every user has features that they consider important, while the next user does not. That's the whole background of Firefox, a good browser with extensions and configurability by the user.

intelligent people dont care about bloating or whatever... if they have chosen firefox, then they expect to get the best browsing experience, but if they need to come into a help forum to ask stuff about common sense, then they get really pissed off !
