It's odd, but I've never had this Firefox hanging problem that others are speaking about. I just turn the virtual cursor off so I can navigate the tree properly. But because I usually use alt-b to access the bookmarks, I usually forget to do this right off, so it's a good thing my stuff doesn’t' crash. I should get used to using control-I, really, because when going through my bookmarks with the other key command I always notice ones that I should probably delete, and then get annoyed when delete doesn't work. Not sure why Mozilla doesn't just let us delete bookmarks from this menu, but eh...
