Using JavaScript, is it possible to add a bookmark in Firefox directly, without opening any dialog box? That is, I want the user clic on a link and that the bookmark is automatically created, without the need to any further step.

no way in zillion years that would be allowed – ant Feb 18 '10 at 11:47

Even if someone found a way to do it in version X, version X+1 would have a bugfix for it. So it's a fundamental no. – MSalters Feb 18 '10 at 12:09

Even if the answer is `NO`, why the question is downvoted? He is just asking something. – Rakesh Juyal Feb 18 '10 at 12:25

Fortunately, no. It would be a horrible breach of security.
Could be a different story in the context of a Firefox Extension, but I assume you are asking for a normal web page.

If it was possible, any possible website would be able to create any kind bookmark, without the user even noticing.
As a user, I certainly hope this is not possible ^^
(And, as a developper, I don't think it is)
