Certainly there are limits to what can be expected from the Bookmark
Manager and I did not mean to say that Camino should do everything.
Creation date of the bookmark is what I am aksing for.

The other issues (font size, group panel hiding and a next bookmark
button) are acessabilty issues and (I don't think) are major design
issues.

I had read somewhere on the FireFox forums about 4 months ago that one
of the developers had tagged the Bookmark Manager as a key point for
improvement. I haven't seen any mention of it since then.
