Since I'm a complete newbie, please pardon my cluelessness... Why would a bookmarklet be restricted to Google searches? From what I've just read, bookmarklets contain URLs, which don't necessarily point to Google.
On the other hand, why do we need Gmarks to be compatible with bookmarklets? Can you give a usage example where Firefox's functionality is enhanced by such compatibility? Thanks!
