Managing Bookmarks More Efficiently Extension Flat Bookmark Editing Category Bookmarks Firefox includes a powerful Bookmarks Manager for organizing your bookmark collection, but it has a quirk that might aggravate frequent filers: You have to edit a bookmark's properties through a separate window. Whenever you want to rename a bookmark, for example, you must right-click the bookmark, choose Properties, and work inside the Properties window. The Flat Bookmark Editing extension streamlines this process by flattening the Properties window into the Bookmarks Manager, as illustrated in Figure 22-7. As you can see, the OK and Cancel buttons are gone. That's because changes to properties take effect as soon as you make them, with no need to save explicitly. The Flat Bookmark Editing extension saves you just a few seconds per bookmark, but over time that adds up to a big win. Figure 22-7: The Flat Bookmark Editing extension flattens the Properties window into the Bookmarks Manager so you can organize faster. How it works After you install Flat Bookmark Editing, you see the property fields in a panel at the bottom of the Bookmarks Manager. You're ready to go!

But what if you could keep an eye on your downloads without needing a window at all? The Download Statusbar extension adds an unobtrusive bar to the bottom of the Firefox window, as shown in Figure 22-8. This bar tracks the progress of all ongoing downloads. Each download is represented by a white button that is filled with color as the download progresses. You can pause, cancel, or launch downloads right from the download status bar. Figure 22-8: The Download Statusbar tracks the progress of ongoing downloads in a bar along the bottom of the Firefox window. How it works After installing the Download Statusbar extension and restarting Firefox, you see a window with usage tips from the extension's creator, but the actual status bar doesn't appear until you start a download. While a download is in progress, the status bar displays three pieces of information: the progress, as indicated by the amount of color; the approximate time left, in the bottom-right corner; and the approximate download rate, in the top-right corner.
