while it is what i was looking for. the "collapse" and "delete" button for folders are too easy to miss click and only have a conformation box of "OK". now I don't know what links I've accidentally deleted as there is no visible undo button ether

Doesn't work at all. I click the star icon and all I get is a wide box with a Facebook icon on the left side. Would be nice to have some brief instructions just to make sure I'm doing this correctly, even if the instructions say, "Just click on the Live Bookmarks icon." I hope it get's fixed because this looks like it would be a great add-on.
