If you’re like most people, you probably have a bookmark toolbar on your desktop. But what if you want to add the Bookmarks Menu to your toolbar? There’s a way to do this with Bookmarks UI Consolidator, a free tool from the developer of Firefox. To add the Bookmarks Menu to your toolbar, open the tool and click on the Add New button. Then enter “BookmarksUI” in the text field and click on OK. Now when you open Firefox, you’ll see the Bookmarks Menu at the top of your bookmarks bar.
Before Bookmarks UI Consolidator
Here is a look at our standard browser UI before installing the extension. Two different areas just to manage and work with bookmarks…
The Bookmarks Menu pre-installation. Notice the listing for the Bookmarks Toolbar.
After Bookmarks UI Consolidator
Once you have installed Bookmarks UI Consolidator, there are no options for you to have to worry with.
Our browser’s interface looks a bit different now. No more Bookmarks Menu in the Menu Bar! Now it has been placed in the left-most position of our Bookmarks Toolbar and has a folder icon (nice!). If you love the idea of doing all of your bookmark work through the Bookmarks Toolbar, then this is going to be especially nice for you!
Note: The Bookmarks Menu can now be accessed along with the rest of the Bookmarks Bar using the Tab-Shift key combination and arrow keys (terrific!).
Here is a look at the Bookmarks Menu now that it has been relocated to the Bookmarks Toolbar. Notice that the listing for the Bookmarks Toolbar is no longer present!
Conclusion
Bookmarks UI Consolidator provides a very nice way to get all of your bookmark goodness into one location in your browser’s UI. Have fun with those bookmarks!
