Safari style bookmarks display
The biggest thing keeping me from switching completely to Firefox is its display of bookmarks. Scrolling through a long list in a narrow sidebar, that gets narrower with each opened disclosure arrow, is much slower than Safari's categories on the left, bookmarks on the right. I know Camino has this functionality, but sure would like to only use one browser.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I don't know how you're opening the bookmarks sidebar, but I just looked at "Show All Bookmarks" in Safari, "Show Bookmark Manager" in Camino, and "Organize Bookmarks" in Firefox 3. They all look about the same. What exactly do you want changed?
You might also want to check/vote for bug 376953, if you like. -
Inappropriate?Organize Bookmarks in Firefox 3 cannot be opened from a button on the toolbar, and brings up a new window (that does not remember the last category you were in) instead of using the existing one.1 Comment

So how are you accessing bookmarks in Safari to get a sidebar (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthrea...)? I see the different bookmarks sidebar if you add the button to the toolbar, but I couldn't find similar in Safari, so it's hard to compare. -
Inappropriate?Please re-read the original post, I think you're confused.1 Comment Add a comment

So would this be more what you're looking for? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug...

Inappropriate?Please don't be exasperated, I want to help with your problem. It seems to be, if I'm understanding you, that the Organize Bookmarks screen is closer to what you're talking about, but it's not in a new tab. The more specific we get, the easier it is to discuss it with developers (some of the stuff I mention is actually from others in #sumo on irc.mozilla.org).
It seems to be that the Safari browser does not let you expand folders in the sidebar of their bookmarks browsing, only in the main area using the triangle > then v dropdown list, much like in the Finder. In Firefox, however, the browsing is much more like clicking the [+] button in the Windows Explorer, where the folders are expanded in the sidebar instead of in the main bookmarks area. You wish this were not the case, but you state it's because the sidebar is narrow.
The sidebar can be expanded by clicking the bar between the sidebar and the bookmarks and dragged, this is what almost everyone I mention this to suggests because of the "too narrow" statement being present. Does expanding it solve your problem?
