Display your bookmarks (button) / Can the Library open to the left of FF?

I click on: Display your bookmarks (button) / Unsorted Bookmarks . . . and the Library opens to the *right* of the browser.

This is fine, but I try to consistently work from left to right, and the pattern I have is to click on something in the library at left, and it opens in the browser at right.

I have 7+ Taskbar Tweaker installed, and I can drag the Library to the left of FF . . . or even all the way to the left of any other programs seen in the Taskbar, or in between . . . but it would be good if I could just get it to open up to the left of the FF, that could save me some clicks.

Is there any way to do this? A default setting somewhere?

Could it be set to open up all the way to the left of any other programs in the Taskbar? Or one or two to the left, depending if something is there or not?

Have you tried out the Bookmarks Sidebar? You can open and close it by pressing Ctrl+b (unless the current website is intercepting that for its own purposes).

The sidebar shows 3 categories in this order: Bookmarks Toolbar, Boomarks Menu, Unsorted Bookmarks.

Useful? Close?

By the way, the Library dialog position should be remembered in between opens and closes, so you shouldn't need to reposition it often. If Firefox forgets between session or between restarts, you might have an issue with the settings file that stores toolbar customizations and window/dialog positions. Have you noticed any other problems?

I might not be reading carefully enough...

As far as I know, Firefox doesn't have any feature to control the order of windows on the Windows Taskbar.

Sidebar . . . I don't want to use that, I like how the Library lets you see everything very easily.

The library is supposed to remember the position? 7+ Taskbar Tweaker might be messing that up - but I think it was acting this way before I installed it. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was, because I was so happy that I could move the Library to the left of FF.

Would be good if you could specify to the left or right of the browser . . . there's a similar in Windows, how downloaded files are always saved to the top left, and fill down, and to the right. Would be good if you could specify that to something else also, but, that fits my pattern.
