Include Keyword, Location URL, and Description when adding (Ctrl+D), or modifying a bookmark with the Firefox 3 Star.

The description will fill in automatically from webpages that include the description META tag, and you can change it to what you want.

I think this is a substitute for the "OpenBook" extension that Firefox 3 was so useless without until "OpenBook" was updated, now can finally be done without an extension thanks to chrome tweaks information found at eriwen.com

The keyword is available in Version 3, had been lost when Version 2 usage was dropped.
#keywordRow { display: -moz-grid-line !important; } /* Fx2 */

Comment Replies based on Feedback / Review:
* Firefox version 3.5 provides a plus sign in lower left corner for resizing the dialog window. Order of items and title bar is beyond my control. I would have added more items (see comments in code for sources), but the size interfered with Organize Bookmarks (Library list). The way Firefox 3 has attached the dialog to the toolbar similar to a menu, means you can't go elsewhere to copy and paste afterwards into the Add/Change Bookmark dialog.

Thanks for this speed-up, you really made my day!

I had been wondering why the hell I cannot set the keyword in one step while bookmarking and I must annoyingly go into bookmarks and set it manually in "Edit" dialog … and its just because relevant input is 'initially' hidden, OMG why, Mozilla? Hiding best features away from users so no-one will use them? *****

Working great, Dave. I had an extension that did this but then stopped working. I think the Stylish solution is a better tact. Thanks much. *****

Great!! I just wish you could add a titlebar (so we could position the add bookmark window) and a resize-bar in the corner (so we can resize the popup window - this is something the OpenBook addon actually does which you don't). Then I'd give it ten stars! *****
