Reply to Firefox bookmarks conundrum.
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
I've got a bit of an idea that I want implemented fully in firefox (It's only done halfway), but I don't know who I could talk to about it, and I know there are people here who can point me in the right direction.
Basically, it's about how it handles bookmarks.

You can have the homepage open multiple tabs when you put a "|" between each address, neat, hun?
You can also use keywords in the address bar to open pages, ie, go to this page, do this search, etc, etc. I can type in wiki rectangles in the addressbar and it will take me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangles in one step. I can also type in DN, and I'll come here. It's easy to set up and it's a powerful feature.

What I want, is a combination. I want to be able to type "comics" into the address bar and have my 5 comic pages pop up each in a separate tab. Sure, I could make a comics folder in my bookmarks, right-click it, and select open all pages in new tabs, but that takes a bit longer.
Also, you can't use keywords with bookmark folders yet either. Giving multiple bookmarks the same keyword doesn't work either.
It's not like it's much of a stretch. After all, the homepage already supports this feature, it's just that the homepage is a set of pages that I'll check multiple times per day; the comic pages, not so much. I'm getting into the habit of closing multiple tabs instinctively, and I don't want that.
Probably, now that I think about it, a more elegant solution would be to just let bookmark folders have keywords that automatically open up multiple windows. It'd be harder to implement, as it'd take new code, and more bloaty, but it would also mean less duplication of features.
So, any ideas on who to go talk to, what forum to see, what kind of extension I could make, etc, etc?
