I like this addon very much and mainly wanted to report the bugs. The addon makes it easy to get to frequently used bookmarks without cluttering the screen. It's the only thing I see so far that does what I want in Firefox 57. I realize it is still in development, but I have a seen a few issues that could be addressed.

I noticed that sometimes the bookmarks bar fails to hide itself when I click on a tab at the top of the screen, then move the cursor back down to the webpage without clicking a bookmark. It seems to happen most often if I click the tab I'm already on.

When frozen like this, clicking on the webpage hides the bookmarks bar. Maybe there would be a way to make the addon continually click the mouse in a way that only your addon recognizes, or just track the cursor location better.

When using the addon "Stylish" the bookmarks bar background becomes transparent on certain sites with certain styles, reddit.com with the style "Reddit Minimal Dark" for example. The text and icons still show up and work but they are difficult to see. Maybe there is a way to force your addon to take priority of the background color of the bookmark bar over other addons. Some of the other color scheme styles seem to work correctly so maybe this is a low priority issue and just something to think about for the future.

It's getting better. I was also a Roomy Bookmarks user, so it's hard to go backwards, but given the issues with the new environment, this is great to have. I was really lost at first. I really like the new ability to change background color, etc, and change font size. Also, the delay adjustment is great.

If you could now try to remove the "grid", (e.g., allow bookmarks to be closer or farther together, up to a maximum set width); it would save a lot of room, and keep some names from being cut off. I agree with other commenters about wishing for folders and favicons.

Thanks for your work on this!

PS. One other issue I'm having is that the dropdown won't retract, once it's down, even though I have the delay timer set to 25 ms, so it covers the upper portion of my webpage. This is a significant issue.

This add-on is very usefull. I used Roomy Bookarks Toolbar on Firefox 56 but it doesn't work on 57.
Bookmarks Drop Down works fine on FF57 and does what's expected. It allows to have a lot of bookmarks on one click.
At this time, it's not perfect but stil very good.
I'll try a few suggestions:
- you should implement a larger delay before it hides (in the options): when you have sub-sub-sub folders it's easy to get your mouse out of the menu and you can start all over again.
- maybe an option for favicon (and even a second option to change the favicon)
- maybe a little line between the sub-sub menus; It'd help reading on the screen

An information for the developers: sometimes, on some sites, it just doesn't work. And sometimes, it remains on the screen so you can't read what you want. But still, it's a good idea, well developed and that can be improved.

Good job!


48 hours after this comment I've had the real pleasure of realizing that two suggestions are already implemented: now we have a second colour for the sub-menus, it can be changed in the options. With the hiding delay, now you can get out of the menu (and come back quickly) it really helps.
That's really a pity that nothing can be done about favicons, but it's a limit of webextension. Nothing to do with the developer. It was a good job, now it's even better

Once again, a suggestion. On some sites, for unknow reasons, the menu doesn't hide. It's probably caused by scripts. So maybe a button on the menu itself could help hiding.... If possible

Because I use many bookmarks in my standard Firefox bookmarks toolbar it mainly contains folders in its main row. And if a folder is clicked it expands vertically like a windows menu. This is how it should be.
BookmarksDropDown version 2.1.0 displays a white colored bookmarks toolbar in a new design (looks not like the native Firefox bookmarks toolbar anymore). Every folder got a black colored triangle button on its left side to show that it is clickable. If you click on a folder, its content is displayed in a new horizontal toolbar. If the same folder is clicked again, then the same content is added again. So if you do this multiple times the bookmarks entries will fill the entire Firefox main window. Furthermore a single bookmark is diplayed with a radio button in front of it.
This all looks not even like an alpha version 0.0.1 to me. I think the whole concept of the new version 2.x addon isn't well thought out and needs to be redone from ground up.
The old BookmarksDropDown version 1.3.2 still works well. But its old addon format won't work in future versions of Firefox.
