I don't see any switch that would work to do this, on this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Command_Line_Options

If I can't get it to open to Unsorted bookmarks, All Bookmarks would be good, or Library

These are possible chrome URI that you can use to open the Library or the bookmarks panel:

  • chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
  • chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul

Use the -chrome command line switch if necessary.

Note that this command will open the Library with the unsorted folder selected:

  • PlacesCommandHook.showPlacesOrganizer('UnfiledBookmarks');

You can use an extension like keyconfig to create a shortcut key with this command.

I made a shortcut with this as the Target, and it doesn't work:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" PlacesCommandHook.showPlacesOrganizer('UnfiledBookmarks');

Do I use -chome if I want to use switches for Chrome that would work in FF? No idea.

For File Explorer, I think you add . . . /e . . . to the end, and it expands the folders . . . any idea what the target is that I should enter? They don't make it very easy to figure out.

PlacesCommandHook.showPlacesOrganizer('UnfiledBookmarks'); is a command and not a link, so you can't use it that way.

Do not get confused by the chrome URL as they have nothing to do with Google Chrome.

You can open such a chrome:// URL via the location/address bar in a tab to see what the page looks like.


Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its own internal files and also access files from extensions (no connection with Google Chrome).

keywords: firefox target to open library

I see you previously answered it here, my inspirational friend . . . https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/992268

As a Target - this works "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul

I see that the Shortcut doesn't do anything if I leave off the -chrome command line switch.

As a Target - this opens a tiny window in the top left, and the GUI is not complete - no good "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -chrome chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul

. . . You can also set the home (startup) page to one of those chrome URL to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

I put this in the address bar, and see it, yes, along with other things I'd see viewing a web page, so the Target way of doing it is better: chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul

With this one, same things as above chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul

"Note that this command will open the Library with the unsorted folder selected:"

PlacesCommandHook.showPlacesOrganizer('UnfiledBookmarks');

. . . if it's not the Target in a Shortcut, or go in the Address Bar where it can be made into a Bookmark, how do you use it?
