Add Extra Rows to Firefox’s Bookmarks Toolbar

20070520-firefox_logoSAN FRANCISCO – Everyone has their preferred method for keeping their favorite sites close at hand. Me, I take advantage of Firefox‘s Bookmarks Toolbar, which provides one-click, at-a-glance access to around 20 favorites.
Just one problem: Any favorites that won’t fit the width of my screen get dumped into a pull-down menu that appears at the far end of the toolbar–rendering them much less easily accessible.

Enter Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar, a head-smackingly obvious Firefox extension that lets you add extra rows to the Bookmarks Toolbar–thus putting more of your favorites close at hand.
You can add as many extra rows as you like, but I was happy enough with just a second one. (More than three and things start to look awfully cluttered.)

What’s more, you can scroll through your remaining bookmarks, instead of having to drill into that pull-down menu (which, in case you’re wondering, no longer appears when MBT is active).

Bottom line: If you rely on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar might just be your new favorite Firefox extension. It’s definitely one of mine.

  1. another option (IMO, is a much better one) is Smart Bookmarks Bar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072) which is another Firefox add-on. It hides the bookmark names and only shows the icon (labels appear on mouseover).
