The feature which I will like to see in Firefox is the ability to type a first letter of the Bookmark that I want to get to in the listing.

In Windows Internet Explorer 7 favorites listing, I can easily reach the part of my favorites list by typing the first letter of that part of the list I wish to reach. Obviously this makes this easier than having to scroll down to the part of the list I want using Firefox Bookmarks.

This should work if you open the Bookmarks in the sidebar. You need to set focus to the tree pane by clicking to the left of an icon or press the Tab key. If you quickly press the keys then you can enter more of the name (e.g. google)

Cor-el:

I know you're trying to help, but your not being clear. I don't know what you are talking about. For example: How do I open the Bookmarks in the sidebar? Where is the sidebar? How do I get to the sidebar?

Look, let me be helpful to you in your efforts to help me and others who have this question. What you need to do is tell us step by step what to do. For example, say you were telling us how to open up the Firefox browser. Here's an example of proper instructions:

1. Press Start on your computer. 2. Look for the Firefox Icon in the left panel and click on it. 3. That will start the Firefox browser.

Look, that's a simple example which, I'm sure, everyone can relate to. What's important is that you see what I mean by giving proper instructions.

Remember Cor-el, some users do not have your level of understanding. So, you may have to assume you're talking to someone who is sort of brand new to this browser.

Thanks for replying anyway.
