The big advantage of IE's favourites is they are instantly available as a drop down, mousing over a folder opens subfolders, and you can find the link you want, or rename it, or delete it, without having to click on anything.

I can't understand this; if you just mean accessing bookmarks by the 'Bookmarks' (Firefox)/'Favorites' (MSIE) link in the toolbar, then your description describes both experiences exactly.

In Firefox or IE, when I click the link, I get a big dropdown list of bookmarks/favorites. If I mouse over a folder icon in either list, the folder shows its contents in a flyout to one side. If, at any time, I right-click on bookmark or folder, I am offered the 'properties' option; clicking this allows me to edit the item. The option to delete folder or favorite is always available on right-click.

What did you mean?
