My biggest complaint about this new feature is that these bookmarks 
appear in my toolbar.  That means that all of my petnames fill a very 
precious screen resource in my browser.  Also, each petname I use is 
somewhat long, so I only see a handful.  I would like to be able keep my 
frequently visited links separate from my petnames.  Could we be allowed 
to change the petname directory though the options button on the 
extensions window?
