agsnowdon Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Hey all I use firefox. my bookmarks list has 1 column and 2 arrows 1 at the top and 1 at the bottom which if you hover the cursor on it will take you further down the list. I have seen on firefox before bookmarks listed in 2 columns without these arrows. Can anyone tell me how to do this I have played with bookmark manager with no joy. Thanks for your help in advance Ash Edited June 2, 2006 by agsnowdon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agsnowdon Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 How are your bookmarks displayed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 How are your bookmarks displayed? Single column and I am trying to find something like you mentioned now. Don't remember seeing multiple columns in Firefox before and would be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francois Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) hi' I never looked for, but it should be in the about:config of firefox ... in the line "browser.bookmark.sort.direction is set by default as descending, may be can change it for another action, but you'll have to find it, coz I don't know francois Edited June 2, 2006 by francois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astral Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 You probably need to create Folders in your bookmark file and then move the BM to a relevantly named folder. I think this will give you what you need. As you move your cursor down the list of folders, the BM inside will be displayed. It works in IE and is a standard feature in Opera.

Hey Yes you can do that in firefox but i still have many single bookmarks which I don't want to keep in folders and would like another columns to appear instead of these 2 arrows allowing the user to navigate up and down through the bookmarks. Good Idea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebear Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I thought it only created two columns if the number of bookmarks exceeded the default number for one column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try bookmarking till it exceeds your column size and see hwat happens and let me know. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help in advance Ash OK to get two boxes (sidebars) one with the main titles in and one below where each title can be expanded to list everything pertaining to that title you have to go to the extensions catalogue in tools and find the extension that provides this 'opera' like facility download it and you are away!! (there are a lot of them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
