What I have thought about is "Personal Bookmark Items", which is about
as long as the current one and goes better in line with the current name
of the toolbar, though still pointing to bookmarks.
Maybe even just "Personal Bookmarks", but that could be too little precise.
I have to disagree. Generally speaking, ALL bookmarks are "personal"
inasmuch as they are a personal customization, and the ones in the
toolbar aren't any more "personal" than the other ones.
Sorry, you're forgetting that some programs (including one that shall
remain nameless) come with a built-in set of bookmarks ("favorites"),
and those cannot realistically be called "personal."
I've been upgrading my installations of Netscape, Mozilla, and SeaMonkey
for so long that I've forgotten whether our programs come with any
built-in bookmarks.
For me, the confusing bit here is "items," which strikes me as
meaningless clutter. In "toolbar items" I understand the necessity, but
in "bookmark items" it looks like what the Korean grammarians call a
"count word." You see, they don't normally mark their nouns for number,
but if you want to say something like "two books" you say "two volume of
book," just as we say "two pieces of advice" instead of "two advices."
Anyway, I find "Personal Toolbar Items" perfectly acceptable, and
"Personal Bookmarks" perfectly acceptable as well.
If you said "Bookmark Toolbar Items," I would understand it as "items on
the bookmark toolbar," which makes sense. I don't see how to make sense
of "Toolbar Bookmark Items."
What about something like "Quick Bookmarks"? That's fairly descriptive
-- they are bookmarks, but they are easier to access (and therefore
quicker) because they are in a toolbar.
To me that would suggest speed/ease of creation, not of access. But YMMV.
