> As for a name, how about the term Chrome uses when you right click a URL bookmark in your library, which is "Show in Folder." I am not sure how you wish to implement, but if you just open Chrome I think it does it well. I'm not as happy with their bookmarks mgr as with the FFox Library, but the "show in folder" feature works nicely. When you click it, you just move to the folder containing the bookmark in question. The folder is highlighted in the folder tree and all bookmarks in the highlighted folder, including the one you are interested in, are shown. Check it out. I would vote for that for Ffox.
I want to make sure that's clear to avoid unintended side effects (like making the user open the folder themselves). The intended functionality is that when the button is clicked, the bookmarks library/sidebar/etc opens the containing folder *on its own* and scrolls down (well, it doesn't actually do any visible scrolling, but opens to the position in that folder where the bookmark is) to the bookmark that the user clicked "Show in Folder" on. As well as opening the folder to where the bookmark is, the manager also highlights the folder location in the list of folders/folder tree (which AFAIK it does when you open a folder the normal way, so it's probably the same code for that).
Basically, it just programmatically opens the folder and then locates the bookmark.
