Add Bookmark: always show folder tree?

Post by Gingerbread Man »

In Firefox 2 I had a userChrome code that always showed the folder tree in the "Add Bookmark" dialog so you wouldn't have to click the expander button. ( Not this exact code, but something like http://userstyles.org/styles/995 )

For Firefox 3's "Page Bookmarked" dialog, I tried this but it only displays a blank box. I have to click the little expander button for the items to show inside the box.

Code: Select all

#editBMPanel_folderTree, #editBMPanel_folderTree > * { visibility: visible !important }

Could someone please help me out?

I'd still appreciate any help, if anyone knows the solution. The only way I've found to display the folder tree is the OpenBook extension. I really don't want to use it, because the folder tree slightly flickers when the dialog appears and it's ridiculous to install an extension to fix yet another Firefox annoyance.

Didn't you notice that you were specifying the element twice? :)

Code: Select all

It's not a mistake. The code you posted is the first I tried, but as I said, the box where the folder list should be is blank. That's why I thought I'd select not just the folder tree, but all children as well. That made no difference.

If you use the extension and the following CSS at the same time, flickering will dissolve.

Code: Select all

#mainPopupSet  #editBMPanel_folderTree,
#mainPopupSet  #editBMPanel_newFolderBox
{ visibility: visible; }
