Actually you could (theoretically) include this in gmarks - essentially, with my checking off permission, 1. store toolbar bookmarks in some obscure google label. 2. overwrite the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder in firefox whenever I ask. but this is really something google should do ... particularly since their FF google toolbar is supposed to share the button layout among any FF browser that I log on to with google. It seems to be almost a no brainer for them to save the toolbar bookmarks. While I would love it, if you did this - the danger is that google might one day make it obsolete (like they did today with Gmail and Folders4Gmail) Thanks again for your time! Gmarks is great!
