Show the contents of the Bookmarks Toolbar in a drop down menu. This compresses the bookmark menu into one button that you can put on any toolbar you want to.

In the update to being a WebExtension, there have been some limitations introduced on what links it can open. So some bookmarks for example javascript: bookmarklets will not always work. We have tried out best work around this, but the limitations are still there.

The extension is part of the Toolbar Buttons project and is built with the MozButton SDK. Follow us on Twitter, or get involved on GitHub.

If you have ideas for new features we are more then happy to consider them for the next release. Just leave a comment, or better post to our Forums
