Google Bookmarks – Firefox shortcut (no addon)

This is a small script you can use to place a special bookmark that will let you save current page in your google bookmarks.
No add-ons are required and it really easy to use.

  1. Create a new bookmark: Bookmarks > Show all bookmarks > Bookmarks menu > Organize > New bookmark
  2. Set “name” with something like “Google Bookmark”
  3. In the “location” field add the following code:
    javascript:(function(){var%20a=window,b=document,c=encodeURIComponent,d=a.open('http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=edit&output=popup&bkmk='+c(b.location)+'&title='+c(b.title),'bkmk_popup','left='+((a.screenX||a.screenLeft)+10)+',top='+((a.screenY||a.screenTop)+10)+',height=420px,width=550px,resizable=1,alwaysRaised=1');a.setTimeout(function(){d.focus()},300)})();
  4. Done!
