In SeaMonkey, there is an icon on the right that, if selected, bookmarks the URI. There is also an icon on the left that, if selected, is used to drag and drop the URI (e.g., to create a link in a document, to create a Web shortcut on the desktop). Thus, to add a capability to delete one item from the pull-down list of URIs, it should be a right-click to get a pull-down context menu with Delete as an option. Copy would be another good option. I notice that the existing pull-down context menu refers to operations on the Navigation toolbar, not to the entries in the list of URIs. -- David E.
