I've been using the New Tab Home Page plugin to do this for quite a
while now:
https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

I save the site in the Bookmarks Toolbar, then delete the text, leaving
only the favicon. That way, I have > 30 sites immediately visible at all
times. Sure, it needs the site to have a unique and defined favicon, but
only one (HSBC ← ಠ_ಠ) doesn't have one.

I also have a “to →” folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar which contains all
the little linking bookmarklets, wikipedia citation builders, etc., that
make the day easier.

Finally, there's Make Link:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/make-link/ . This adds a
context menu item which puts a formatted HTML, Markdown, plain text,
Forum Code, BB Code, whatever in the clipboard. Can't live without it.

cheers,
 Stewart
