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.
//Warning: Along with the install for my Keyword addition style in the green box to right is a drive-by install for "New Tab King", I do not approve of it, and it is against everything that I try to do to improve tab usage. End of Warning Message.//
I think this is a substitute for the "OpenBook" extension that Firefox 3 was so useless without. This style was written to provide the same facility thanks to chrome tweaks information found at eriwen.com, and now that the "OpenBook" extension has been updated you now have a choice between using an extension or using a style. As a style you can tweak the Add/Change Bookmark to provide what you want.
The keyword is available in Version 3, had been lost when Version 2 usage was dropped.
#keywordRow { display: -moz-grid-line !important; } /* Fx2 */
Keyword shortcuts are much more than just aliases, or shortcuts for searching, they can be modified by substitution, and can make invoking bookmarks with JavaScript (bookmarklets) easier. As bookmarklets you can even open more than one one link at a time, such as invoking multiple search engines or other references with the same arguments. See "Firefox Keyword Shortcuts" -- http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/kws.htm
Showing the Keyword in the Library list (View, Organize Bookmarks), add desired columns through the View menu of the Library list, or by right-clicking on column heading button. Then search there on colon(":") as that appears in all bookmarks including JavaScript, and sort on Keyword.

Comment Replies based on Feedback / Review:
* Firefox version 3.5 provides a plus sign in lower left corner for resizing the dialog window (but missing again in Minefield 3.6). 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. (Bug: 404507, 419713, 420813) If you use keywords and have signed up with bugzilla, please vote on Bug 404507 to make keyword in the dialog once again part of the keyword addition dialog.
