If you often bookmark web pages and the bookmarks toolbar gets crowded over time, this bookmark menu extension [1] for Firefox would be immensely helpful. It can turn your bookmarks toolbar into a button, allowing you to access your Firefox bookmarks without requiring you to display the bookmarks toolbar.

Here is how the browser interface looks after you have installed the bookmark menu extension:

As you can see, it’s much better, as all the folders are moved to a separate button. Thus use this extension and permanently hide the bookmarks toolbar in Firefox.(also read: How to create a customized toolbar for Firefox [2])

There aren’t much options available, apart from searching the bookmarks using keywords. Middle clicking a bookmark opens it in the background and Open all bookmarks in tabsfeature is added in subsequent sub folders.

Techie-Buzz Verdict

The extension is good and helpful if you bookmark a lot of pages and want an easy option to access the bookmarks without using the toolbar. However, the same can be achieved using the Firefox hot key (Ctrl+B) which displays all your bookmarks in the sidebar.

Techie-Buzz Rating: 3/5 (Average).
