Keeping up with Firefox 3: Improvements, bugs and missing features in the new bookmark manager

Brian Dillard writes abou several new bookmarkin feature in FireFox 3:

«I'm a trigger-happy bookmarker, likely to command-D any page that seems like it could be of use in the future. I've learned to live with my affliction, but the Firefox 2 bookmark manager doesn't exactly make my life easier. The problem? An interface that mimics the look and feel of a filesystem but deviates substantially from users' expectations about how a filesystem operates.

With Firefox 3 now in its third beta release, I recently spent some time determining how its completely overhauled bookmark manager stacks up. The verdict? I see lots of cool new features, but it's not a home run yet. I'm not sure whether the issues I saw were bugs, as-yet-unimplemented features, or poor design choices. Regardless, the Firefox 3 Beta 3 bookmark manager leaves several Firefox 2 annoyances unfixed and creates a couple of its own.»
