I have organized the bookmarks I use often in a subfolder of my personal toolbar. This is a very nice way to have fast acces to them. There is one problem though: When I hover the mouse over any of the bookmarks in a subfolder of my personal toolbar I can't see the URL of the bookmark in the statusbar.

Mozilla Firefox is currently using tooltips to show the URL of bookmarks in the personal toolbar. ( there is not shown anything in the statusbar)
If you hover your mouse over your bookmarks in the sidebar, nothing happens. ( bug 239429 )
If you go to your regular bookmarks the URL of the bookmark appears in the statusbar.

I suggest that the bookmarks sidebar, the personal toolbar and any subfolders of the personal toolbar use the same concept of showing the URL in the statusbar. They should treat bookmarks the same way as regular bookmarks are treated.

The bug for the personal toolbar is bug 213163 and it's currently blocking the Firefox 1.0 release. Somebody should take a look at it. site views
