Add Visual Tags to Firefox 3 Bookmarks with Tagmarks

One of Firefox 3's best new features is the "bookmark star" that appears at the right end of the address bar: Click it once to instantly bookmark the current page, or twice to assign a name, folder, and tags. Tagmarks enhances Firefox's one-click bookmarking by displaying multiple "tag" icons when you mouse over the star.

Clicking one or more of the icons performs two functions: It bookmarks the page and associates the page with the selected icon(s), thus giving you a new way to organize bookmarks. For example, you can quickly assign your favorite search engines to the little magnifying glass. Meanwhile, you can view all your Tagmarks bookmarks by clicking Bookmarks > View Tagmarks Tags.

Although this extension desperately needs some customization options, it's an interesting idea, one I think will appeal to users who like the notion of "visual tagging." What do you think? Is this something you would use? [via CyberNet]
