down Bookmark Menu in the first place.
You seem to not like the Bookmark Menu - you want to go directly to
the Search action ?
If so, that is your choice.
Why am I trying to convince you...are you one of the SM Programmers ?
Anything but : there are many aspects of the current design
which I dislike (e.g., the fact that "File Bookmark" and
the next five items scroll out of sight when the bottom
of the visible bookmarks is scrolled past) but I genuinely
cannot see what you hope to gain by knowing where a bookmark
is stored. Are you going to create a new set of bookmarks,
each of which is to a page that tells you where each bookmark
in which you are interested is stored ? What happens when
that list, too, gets too big ? A third-level index ?
Convince me it is useful, and I will support you; but at
the moment I cannot envisage your "need to know", nor the
benefit that you hope to derive from the knowledge.

Not useful to find where an old Bookmark was stored ?
Not useful ! ?
Perhaps you speak about the location of this bookmark in the middle of
the bookmarks list.
and Philip think you need to know where in the disk file it is.
"Perhaps you speak about the location of this bookmark in the middle of
the bookmarks list."
Exactly !
Just as was mentioned in the old Bug Listing Mr. Ross gave me.
bug #56418 at <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56418>.
The SECOND Entry:
"I think there should be some indication of where the bookmark
is located in the (sometimes very big) bookmark tree, or a 'go to
bookmark' button, which will open the bookmarks window (it not open) and
open the apropriate (sic) bookmark folder and highlight the bookmark in
question."
Sorry if I was not specific enough....
One never knows what others interpret (?)
