I'm curious. Do you have many bookmarks? I never use Bookmarks in SM
from drop down. I have a lot and no way I can access them from drop
down. With Fx, I have an extension, Multicolumn Bookmarks, that makes
bookmarks from drop down just like the vastly superior bookmarks in
Opera. But that extension doesn't work on SM so I always click on
Manage Bookmarks if I need a bookmark (or I just rely on the address
bar to show me the bookmark in drop down menu after I type the first
few letters). The extremely poor bookmarks in SM is barrier to my
using it as my default browser. I wouldn't be using Fx as my default
browser without Multicolumn Bookmarks. I have 8 columns of bookmarks
on Fx and the same on SM except on SM it is one extremely long
Unmanageable column.
The reason it's one long unmanageable column is that you haven't
organized it into folders. You can't just throw everything into
"Bookmarks" and expect to make sense of it. Whenever you save a
bookmark, you have to classify it or you'll never find it. So for
example, I have:
Search Engines
Glossaries
Politics
Website and Ecommerce [stuff relating to my website]
Business [stuff relating to my business except the above]
Companies [stuff relating to other companies]
Computing
Personal
and several others. When I mouse over any of these entries in the
browser, they expand to show the subentries, which I can choose just
like I do with the Windows Start menu.
I will grant you, though, that it's not as convenient to classify
bookmarks on the fly as it could be, and creating new folders could be
easier. For example, I'd love to have a context-menu option where I
could select several bookmarks and say "Put in new folder named..."
