Hello,

i would like to know if there is any way to use the personnal bookmark toolbar as hoverlay. The thing i want is to make it appear only when my mouse go on the top of the navigator, like the url bar. I found out an extension to do that but it is totally not worth it cause it make all the page moving when the menu appear or disappear. With an overlay bar, it can just be in front of the web page and hide some informations during the time i choose the bookmark i want to clic on.

Thanks !

The moving up and down will always happen if you want to make a toolbar appear on hover. Maybe use the sidebar instead as this is less disruptive. Otherwise consider to use the drop-down list that opens if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar or use the Bookmarks menu.

You can look for an extension that supports either toolbar or sidebar.
