Is there a way to find bookmarks that I haven't used in a long time?
I'd like to delete bookmarks that I haven't used in a long period of time. Is there a way to find out what was the last time I used a bookmark?

Firefox can cross-reference your history, so if you don't clear history you can sort of figure this out. Here's what I mean.
(1) Open the Library dialog to your bookmarks. E.g., Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
(2) In the search box at the upper right, type http and pause while Firefox lists all matching bookmarks (should be virtually all of them)
(3) If you do not have a column labeled Visit Date, right-click any column heading and choose Visit Date. (Or Mac equivalent of right-click.)
(4) Click the Visit Date column heading to sort by date. This should sort from blank to most recently visited. Click again to sort the other way.
At this point, you might notice that the folder names are not shown in the search result view. There is an add-on to show those if you decide that rather than delete you want to drag and drop them into an OLD STUFF folder "just in case" you need them later.
