Yes, the bookmarks need some attention. The new UX I saw for bookmarks presented them as a grid of large colourful squares but I wasn't sure that was easier to read or use than a list. Hopefully someone will come up with something (that will no doubt be hated by many).

I always thought the system for displaying the bookmarks bar was a bit daft because you could only see about 10 bookmarks before running out of horizontal room. On OSX at least we have a dedicated "Bookmarks" menu but using it under Linux and Windows was always painful due to this strange (IMHO) design.
