  Have you *looked* at the bookmarks file?  Tag soup, which makes it
difficult to manipulate it with XML based tools.  Why they couldn't just use
<UL> and <LI> tags, I don't know.

  My major problem with the way Firefox handles the bookmark sidebar (which
I use all the time) is that sometimes the interface doesn't quite keep up,
and whole hiarchies of bookmarks get shoved to new and interesting places
(hey!  What happened to my daily blog list?  Oh, there it is, mixed in with
my daily comics trawling list---sigh).

  What do you expect?  Half of Firefox is written in some unholy bastardized
scripting language du jour.
