Pierre (pch, the Phoenix bookmarks owner) has definitely stepped up this last week to lift Phoenix up off the floor. In addition to implementing context menus for the bookmarks menu (facilitating editing bookmarks directly in the menu) and giving Phoenix a nice startup performance boost, he's fixed several places where the Mozilla trunk broke us. Thanks Pierre.
On a related note, it looks like we may be close to having "profile chrome" if the patch at bug 162960 is any good. For those of you who don't know what this means, right now Mozilla and Phoenix XUL extensions must be installed to the Mozilla or Phoenix install directory and that means that every time you upgrade to a new build you have to reinstall any extensions. Being able to install extensions into the .phoenix or .mozilla directory will be a real win for all of us nightly build testers and should also make life easier on folks who share an install by using different profiles. Dad may not want lil' sister's Justin Timberlake tracking toolbar and lil' sis might not want dad's Nascar quicklookup context menu.

Now just only tooltips on the bookmarks and I am really happy :)
That's just great. I love Phoenix and have found it to be remarkably useful even in its current state. Thanks, Asa, pch, and everyone else that continues to work on the code and read/post/mod MZ forums.
