It's possible that you had the letter 'G' set up as the keyword for your gmail bookmark (either purposely or inadvertently) and then accidentally deleted it when you deleted your bookmark from the toolbar, which in turn removed the link from your bookmarks. To set it up again just create a regular bookmark to gmail, then simply go into the Bookmark drop-down list and right click on your gmail bookmark link and select 'Properties' at the end of the context menu list, and a small window will open up. In the field named "Keyword" just type in the letter 'G', and click on OK. From then on when you type the letter 'G' in your browser it will automatically go to gmail. Obviously you can set up every bookmark with its own keyword, whether it be a single letter, a single number, or any alpha and/or numeric word/string of your choice. As a side point: the bookmark window also has a 'Description' field and I've found it useful to type in a password if the link goes to something that requires me to login and if it's something where the password is either long or hard to remember. The process of right-click / copy / paste ends up being faster then typing a password when logging in to a site. Firefox bookmarks have the option of setting up a ‘keyword’ for every bookmark entry.
