Bookmark dialog/editor position and Auto bookmark save

Hi,

Q1: Currently the dialog/editor for when you want to save a bookmark spawns under the '...' in the address bar, which is on my screen pretty far to the right side. especially because i prefer to save bookmarks with the menutoolbar>bookmarks menu (file edit view history bookmarks tools help) which is on the right side. (see image) i tried a little in userChrome with #editBMPanel_folderTree {} (which i found floating on the web) but i cannot get it to work. If thats impossible, is it then possible to move the '...' to the right side?

Q2: When the dialog/editor pops up and i leave it untouched and not hovering over it, it will automatically bookmark the page after 5-10~ seconds. how can i disable that?

Thanks in advance, Aapjuh

p.s. i uploaded an image with it.. but can't find it in the post so i'll provide a imgur link https://i.imgur.com/ukJCOTn.png

This dialog in linked to the bookmarks star the appears in the three-dot drop-down menu (you can add the star to the location bar if you right-click this icon).

The code for userChrome.css to move this container to the left side (you wrote right, but I assume you meant left) would be this code.

Add code to the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#page-action-buttons {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 0 !important}

@cor-el The first comments code worked great, the dialog is now on the left (yes i meant left :P), thanks a lot and nice fast response.

The bookmark addon i already have installed (to get a save location of my choosing) i just didn't want to click a star or other button to bookmark a page, there's so many ways you can bookmark, but i prefer the menubar habit for now.

The star provides an easy way to bookmark the current tab and see whether you already have bookmarked a link. You can hide the dialog via the checkbox at the bottom of the dialog and because you already use the extension you would only have to click the star and not open the menu and click the item. You wouldn't have to open the dialog at all unless you want another folder and then you only need to click the highlighted star another time.
