If you drag the search bar to the customize area so it is no longer at the 
end of the address bar, then the address bar becomes extremely long. If the 
search bar is left at the end of the address bar then the drop down Add New 
Bookmark window appears right under the search bar. On my monitor (19" 5:4 
LCD) that means the window is not way off on the right edge of the screen. 
If I remove the search bar, and the address bar becomes extended, that makes 
the Add New Bookmark window appear way over near the right edge of my screen 
and actually slightly off the screen. I can't drag it to the left to situate 
it better.  That is a GUI bug.  I suppose now with Scroogle gone forever it 
won't matter for me because I now need the search bar showing. In the past, 
I used ONLY Scroogle search engine and no others and I used it from the 
address bar directly as I made it the default search engine and had no other 
installed. Thus, I removed the search bar as I didn't need it. Now, I use 
various engines (hate them all) so I need the search bar as keyword search 
in the address bar doesn't work for some reason. With the search bar 
showing, the window for Add New Bookmark no longer appears on the right edge 
of the screen.

Yes. I apologize for my sloppy wording. I meant the Add New Bookmark window.

Thanks. I was thinking that was a function of my Fx extension but it is part 
of the browsers Fx and SM. I never use it because I don't ever want to 
bookmark 40-50 tabs on all sorts of unrelated topics. I would like to be 
able to highlight various tabs and then choose bookmark these tabs. Opera 
can do that. If Fx and SM can, I haven't figured out how. But then I use an 
extension on Fx that could be blocking native ability to do this. Yep. I see 
I can grab and move the tabs to drop them where I want them easily in SM 
where the Fx extension doesn't work, but that doesn't help because I cannot 
highlight, say, three tabs I have moved to be next to each other and then 
tell SM to bookmark all three at once. This ought to be possible. This has 
been native to Opera for some time, but Opera has gotten so involved with 
what you can do with tabs that it is actually too much and irritating!
