How do I restore the user-friendly, logical, dropdown bookmark menu? I hate (putting it mildly) having to open a sidebar window every time I want a bookmark not on my "immediate access" bookmark bar. If this cannot be done, how do I regress to a version that has it?

When I creat a new bookmarks they are not automatically put in alphabetical order but instead are placed in the ned. Why not put them in order when they are made? Anyway, I tried to use the option that allows me to sort bookmarks alphabetically but nothing happens. This used to work but not now. I am using 137.0.1 (aarch64)

I have attached an image to show what I mean.

I am tired of clicking and scrolling and clicking and scrolling to find something I use constantly. It's fine to bury "settings" in a menu because I only use it once or twice. But things that we constantly use daily should be prominently displayed front and center. When I make a user interface I always make the daily use items as easy as possible. Rare use items can be hidden away in a submenu because it will only rarely irritate users, and in fact, if it can be destructive, it should be buried deep in the menu tree so you don't click it by accident.

All,

There is a major a major problem with saving emails & bookmarks, based on another violation of the 1st cardinal law of IT to: NEVER EVER ASSUME anything!

When trying to save either an email or bookmark % you are attempting to find an existing subfolder or subcategory, the search does not wait for you to enter the complete names but starts searching on the 1st character. When you know the exact name of the place to save this is super irritating & you cannot find the subfolder or subcategory, so keep having to create new folders. because of this problem I now have well over 2,000 folders, subfolders, categories & subcategories.

The assumption that a user will only have a limited number of folders & categories is totally asinine, so fix this ASAP Please. Also this field does not allow pasting values into the field & must because when you know the exact name of the parent folder, but cannot paste thar name into this field, the USER is already cursing you for your stupidity!

Noe I know you guys monitoring this are not the develpers, but you have contacts with them, we do not have so pass this along!

Cheers! TBNK

(on a mac book pro 2021-Ventura 13.7.2)

  1. 1 - first time sending FireFox bug issue. I took 1/2hr to type out my book mark issues, as specific detail as possible so it would be clear why your NEW Update messed up your BOOKMARK function - a first time and was DONE. went to bottom to click Submit. Saw the ask for Images, made the screenshots, uploaded screen shots here, saw your Button for "Data share"- not sure what this is but wanted to help you/help me, so I clicked it, said something next suggesting I Data share manually - link for HOW to Data share manual, decided was too much for my time right now - clicked the top window Arrow "Back" to THIS page AND 40MIN OF INFO WAS GONE!!!!

Don't put a button and ask for info suggesting I click or I move away from a page to HELP YOU !!! then lose all the work I just did. DON'T WASTE MY TIME!!! OMG - WTF!!! this is not a "fun thing" to spend time on during a busy day or ever. now don't care to re-type it and am leaving with bad experience. well done!

"Volunteers" - why are volunteers doing Firefox support work for free?

See attached screen shots. Bottom line-GO BACK TO THE OLD BOOKMARK FUNCTION where I can add a new bookmark AND put it in folder where I want it in 1 step.

Singleton Tabs via Bookmark

Hi, Currently, my Firefox 133.0's default behavior is to open bookmarks in the currently active tab when clicking on them. This is fine for some applications/websites but impractical for others. With webmail clients, IP surveillance cameras, or weather forecast sites this can become a real pain, especially if someone keeps multiple instances (windows) of Firefox open across multiple virtual desktops (as I do). I end up opening these sites over and over again in different tabs.

I'd like specific bookmarks to be opened in a new tab/window if and only if that site is not already open; otherwise, bring that particular tab/window up instead of creating a new one. How could this be achieved?

Thank you very much!
