hi
I completely agree, a list of bookmarks would be extremely useful. I
sometimes use the numbered bookmarks, but never more than two or 3, so
I could easily transition over to the new system. While you're looking
at the book mark code, is there a way to jump the system focus to the
bookmarked position, instead of just flat review? I hope I'm making
any sense. I don't know for sure if I'm right or not, just guessing
based on what happens when I use bookmarks in anything other than gecko.
Thanks
Kendell clark
