Ah well. Thanks, Jerry and (almost) Happy New Year

Hi 
In BookMacstser, I have 3 folders: Favorites Bar; Bookmarks menu and Reading list folders. Each of these in turn  has any number of directories containing either bookmarks or more directories. I have just under 3000 bookmarks.
I love being able to sync to Safari and Chrome (nothing I could do would make BM work with Firefox 43.0.2 unforunately) and use my Favorites bar in each. (I almost never use the other two.)

Now, in the finder's menubar little icon for BM, (where mini search resides) I have these same three categories, of cousre. But my issue is this: there doesn't seem to be any way to keep the Favorites Bar category open, and showing the folders and items within it. So using the menubar icon for BM becomes -harder- (more steps) than accessing the "real" favorites bar in the browsers.

For example,  in favorites, I have one folder named "Daily" and it's a list of sites I visit very often.
In the browser, I click on "Daily" and up pops a list of my bookmarks. One click and one select.

However, using the BM finder's menubar icon, I have to 1) click on the icon; 2) click on Favorites Bar; 3) click on Dialy and 4) click on the bookmark.
Four steps instead of two.

This could be fixed if the Favorites bar folder could be left open under the menubar icon.

Yes, I could move all the favorites out of the favorites bar withinin BM, but of course that would completely screw up actual browser syncing, and I'd lose my Favorites bar in the browsers themselves.

Said an other way, I'd like the contents of my Favorites Bar to be "in-lined" (or at least visible) in the little menubar icon in the finder when it first is invoked.

If I've missed how to do that, Please tell me, else may I suggest that the menubar icon dropdown menu mirror the expanded/collapsed state of the listing as it shows in BM?
