In winxp-firefox, the bookmark menu can be navigated with alt keys -- the first letter of each bookmark. In ubuntu-firefox, the alt keys only open the menu?

In winxp-firefox, I can access my google bookmark with a quick alt-b-g, for bookmarks, google, respectively. In ubuntu-firefox, I can use alt-b to access the bookmarks menu, but then must scroll (with arrow keys) down to the google bookmark. It's so much slower. Am I missing something? If so, how can I set this up in ubuntu-firefox? If not, this feature be added to ubuntu-firefox? Thanks.

Hey 1phi2e3pi, I do not know, I am not sure if the linux image is compiled by mozilla? There may be a third party that packages it for ubuntu? I may be wrong. However I was able to hover over the bookmark bar and hit a letter and one of the bookmarks were highlighted.

In muon discover, are there add ons that include the shortcuts? This may be kubuntu, please ignore that suggestion if that is the case. Is there also a keyconfig extension for ubuntu?

Hey guigs2. I want to make sure I'm understanding your message. When you say "I was able to hover over the bookmark bar and hit a letter and one of the bookmarks were highlighted", I think you mean the keystroke works in your ubuntu-firefox -- the very same keystroke that doesn't work in mine. That is, when I hit alt-b and my list of bookmarks is shown, nothing happens for me when I hit a letter -- but when you hit a letter, the bookmark starting with that letter is highlighted, and if you then hit enter you are taken to that bookmarked page. Am I understanding you correctly? I'm using Firefox 28.0 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks for your time and help.

Ah, this is what I have to do:

  1. shortcut for bookmark tool bar
  2. type a letter
  3. hit tab to navigate the focus to the bookmark list
  4. type the letter again and again to navigate through each of the bookmarks beginning with the letter
  5. hit enter and the bookmark will open in a new window

Step three is a step I added to what you had described before. Does this help?

The bookmark tool bar seems to be just one part of the bookmark menu. I'm not dealing with the tool bar; I'm dealing with the menu. Either way, once I have the bookmark menu showing, there is no effect whatsoever from hitting tab or any letter at all.

So far, I've resorted to using keywords for the bookmarks I use most. But I'm still curious why the alt keystrokes won't work in ub-ffox like they do in xp-ffox; part of my curiosity is due to the fact that I'm having a similar problem in switching from winxp-thunderbird to ubuntu-thunderbird.

I appreciate your help thus far, and am willing to try further suggestions you may have.

You can search bookmarks in the bookmarks sidebar (View > Sidebar), either via the search bar or in the tree view panel by quickly typing the first letters of a name.
Note that the latter will only find bookmarks and folders that are visible/expanded.

Thanks, cor-el. I didn't know about the bookmarks sidebar. I will use that for some of the bookmarks I haven't tagged with keywords.
