Scrolling through bookmarks in Firefox 3

Is there a way to slide immediately to the bottom of my bookmarks or anywhere in my bookmarks without having to wait for it to slowly scroll down? I think FF is a great browser because it's much faster than my IE6 which has become deathly slow, but I haven't chosen FF as my default browser yet as I still like the favourites feature of IE6. Which is why I uninstalled IE7 and went back to IE6. So I go between both browsers. This is about the only reason I'm still hanging onto IE.

In IE6, using the side scroll bar, I can scroll immediately to the bottom, which is where my new favourites end up when I add new ones. I'm surprised it hasn't been included in FF or IE7, or has it? I can't find it. :paranoid:

Just use the scroll wheel on your mouse. Quickest way for me.

That's the point though, it's way too slow.

considering i'm not a bookmark whore, i usually remember the websites that i need for the future, or to show people..

though, one would assume that you've pressed end, right?

Oh, that's pretty good. I 've never used the end key before. That does take the bookmarks straight to the bottom. That's some improvement anyway. Thanks. :)

Better, the Awesome Bar in FF3 makes searching embarrassingly easy. Type four or five letters of the URL, page title, etc. and there you are. It really is pretty awesome.
