 Thanks and keep up the FANTASTIC work!!!
+== New kind of Bookmark ==
+I never use bookmarks. I'm too lazy to manage them and after a while there are simply too many of them and the whole thing becomes useless to me.
+I think computer bookmarks as we know them, aren't really comparable to bookmarks as we know them in books. Computer bookmarks are more like those post-it stickers you stick on certain pages of interest inside books. They're handy if you want a *permanent* mark to find a certain page.
+Real book-bookmarks, however, are something else. They're supposed to be a quick reminder of where you were last time so you can continue where you left off. It's not a permanent thing. It's something very dynamically and non-permanent.
+What browsers are lacking is this kind of a quick-non-permanent-unorganized-bookmark. A way to mark a page without kludging organized bookmarks.
+Perhaps we need something like "page highlights". A way to mark a certain page of interest non-permanently without adding it to my huge list of bookmarks.
+Perhaps a simple key-combination like Ctrl+M ([[M]]ark this page). The tab will then also get a different (highlighted) color during the session. Or when you reach a highlighted page through a different surfing-route it will be noticeable that it's highlighted. The page will at least remain in a list of highlighted pages during the entire browser session. There could be a way to quickly access highlighted pages through a menu option. When I quit my browser there could be a question like:
+You've got unsaved highlighted pages. What would you like to do?
+* Bookmark all highlights.
+* Review my highlights so I can bookmark them
+* Discard highlights and close Firefox
+* Keep highlights and close Firefox
+[x] Don't ask me again
+Or Perhaps something like the downloads window. A list of unorganized highlighted pages that you can review afterwards so people can take a moment to manage their highlights and put them into their bookmarks in an organized way. And also with a button: "Clean Up"
