I'm using this little function to create page bookmarks for various browsers:

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function CreateBookmark() {
if( window.sidebar && window.sidebar.addPanel ) {
    //Gecko (Netscape 6 etc.) - add to Sidebar
    window.sidebar.addPanel( this.title, this.href, '' );
} else if( window.external && ( navigator.platform == 'Win32' ||
      ( window.ScriptEngine && ScriptEngine().indexOf('InScript') + 1 ) ) ) {
    //IE Win32 or iCab - checking for AddFavorite produces errors in
    //IE for no good reason, so I use a platform and browser detect.
    //adds the current page page as a favourite; if this is unwanted,
    //simply write the desired page in here instead of 'location.href'
    window.external.AddFavorite( location.href, document.title );
} else if( window.opera && window.print ) {
    //Opera 6+ - add as sidebar panel to Hotlist
    return true;
} else if( document.layers ) {
    //NS4 & Escape - tell them how to add a bookmark quickly
    window.alert( 'Please click OK then press Ctrl+D to create a bookmark' );
} else {
    //other browsers - tell them to add a bookmark (adds current page, not target page)
    window.alert( 'Please use your browser\'s bookmarking facility to create a bookmark' );
}
return false;
}
</script>

My question is. Is it possible to make Firefox only bookmarking the page without also including it in the sidebar???

No idea, but if there isn't a method designed specifically to do that, it's not likely.
I personally hate these kind of scripts. They are just as annoying as spam and popups (since they usually appear as a popup asking if this site should be added as a favourite).
I hope you don't run this script onLoad or otherwise automatically!

No popup or onLoad, just a simple link like this:

<a href="http://www.example.com" title="My page" rel="sidebar" onclick="javascript:CreateBookmark()">Bookmark this page</a>

Just thought it would be nice to have the link displayed on the page...

Ah ok. Will keep this thread in mind if I come across a solution to your problem.

Thanks TwoD!
