Why can't you make it easy to use bookmarks in firefox? It is almost impossible to organize or utilize firefox bookmarks efficiently, compared to IE.

Hello,

I like the new version, (nightly), but I don't understand why you people want to make it so difficult to use bookmarks? It's much more easier to organize a bunch of bookmark files in windows explorer interface, simply by moving them around in the favorites folder, than when it's stuck in some SQLLite DB, and trying to navigate through some inflexable bookmark menu system built into firefox (nightly). For this ONE reason, nightly is completly unusable. Please change this feature to be just like IE, where we can move link files around in the windows explorer and organize it anywhich way we see fit. Trying to do this through nightly interface is impossible, or at best, very difficult, making it user unfriendly.

Why are you even using the nightly? That version is a pre-release "tester" version intended for experienced users who want to help Mozilla with developing what will become Firefox two updates down the road.

The bookmarks interface has been like that since Firefox 3 was released on June 17, 2008, over 3 years ago - over 300 million users have used the bookmarks interface, it works as it is designed to work. It ain't like IE and will never be like IE, if that is what you want then use IE. Plus Firefox is a cross-platform program, so it can't be made to work like Windows / IE, how would Mac and Linux users deal with bookmarks?
