Just an update. A recent update to Firefox has killed this concept for me. Firefox now blocks pop-ups more strictly. Even though the pop-ups are generated from a bookmark, they are considered originating from the site you are bookmarking and are blocked. Not sure if there's some setting to go back to the previous behavior other than allowing all pop-ups which isn't something I want to do.
Tangentially related, I am tired of the trend with browsers becoming gigantic, bloated memory hogs while taking away useful features and options that limit how people access the Internet.
