I like the idea of this but having 2 bookmark buttons next to each other doesn't sit right with me (firefox default star + new star) if the plugin can disable the firefox star that would be great. also I think the star icon shouldn't have a circle because it makes it harder to see, making it just a regular full sized star like the default FF one would be better, but I understand the choice considering there's no way to remove the FF star.

Very useful extension. Remembering last folder for saving is very handy. The unrelated option to save new bookmarks at the top of the folder is also extremely useful. So, it turns out that the main purpose of this extension, to set a default folder for saving bookmarks, didn't glow as much as the side options (to me, at least...) Well, I'm not complaining, it's an essential extension, all those options should be incorporated to Firefox base code!
