To be honest, the Bookmarks Toolbar feature that comes along with Firefox is very handy, that is for quick link to your regular bookmarked sites—in just a single click.

But it has limitation, you can only have ONE Bookmarks Toolbar, and that is sad—when the current Bookmarks Toolbar is fully occupied by long bookmarks.

Lucky you, there are two ways: you can have an additional Bookmarks Toolbar or multiple rows of your current Bookmarks Toolbar.

The additional Bookmarks Toolbar:

Go here: http://users.blueprintit.co.uk/~dave/web/firefox/multiptf/index.html
(This is a plugin/extension that enable you to have a second Bookmarks Toolbar)

Enable multiple rows of your current Bookmarks Toolbar:

To have the Bookmarks Toolbar display many rows, add the following to your userChrome.css


/* Multi-row bookmarks toolbar */
#bookmarks-ptf {display:block}
#bookmarks-ptf toolbarseparator {display:inline}

Tip: Where is my userChrome.css?

Hope helps!
