A single set of bookmarks on the web is great, but if you have to go to a webpage to find them it rapidly becomes too much effort. Compare this to a single click within your browser&#8217;s menu.<\/p>\n<p>My Internet Explorer using friends have pointed out that it&#8217;s now integrated in to the <a href=\"http:\/\/toolbar.google.com\/\">Google Toolbar<\/a>, but at the moment it&#8217;s only the IE version that has it. The new version for Firefox has many of the newer features in the IE version, but unfortunately not the bookmark functionality.<\/p>\n<p>After giving up on waiting for Google to integrate this functionality in to their toolbar I decided to have a look for a Firefox extension to do it instead. Quite why I hadn&#8217;t done this before I don&#8217;t know. On the first page of search results I found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.menjatallarins.com\/extensions\/#gbb\">this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s working pretty well so far. Sometimes it seems to be a bit fussy about the title of pages, and it&#8217;s not the best at automatic updating, but it does do the job pretty well. I&#8217;ve dropped the extension on to my menubar too, so it fits in quite nicely. It also works quite happily under all my different Firefox installations (Windows, FreeBSD, and Solaris).<\/p>\n<p>This handily means I don&#8217;t need the Google Toolbar. Firefox already has a perfectly good search box, and this extension gives me the bookmark features.
