Moving a bookmark on Firefox on mobile device when opening the bookmark edit if you want to move a bookmark for example for Mobile bookmarks to Desktop bookmarks:

In my case I first click edit, click on the location and edit > Folder and I am showed unlike when I browse my bookmarks where folders are closed, all folders in hierarchy are opened which make for an endless scrolling for minutes trying to find the folder I want to move my bookmark to, as a poweruser who has thousands of folders and bookmarks.


There are ofher browsers where this is reversed and easier to move a bookmark because all folders are closed. Is this a feature that can be added to Firefox?

Also the setting saying you can display bookmarks on home screen, actually its a scrolling banner with most recently saved bookmarks. I miss the old classic Firefox where you could set your new tab and home page as your bookmarks list making it super easy and quick to get everything you need right in front of you without needing extra steps to enter your bookmark lists.


If this is not the right forum please direct me where I can forward this feature request

In latest version of firefox for android, 138.0.4 (Build #2016091471), when i touch the bookmarks menu an image flashes up too fast to see. I videoed the screen,slowed down replay and found the image is of a folder with a fox inside and the words "no bookmarks yet" which makes no sense as i have hundreds of bookmarks. Its irritating, how do i stop it?

Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

I use Firefox Sync to see my desktop bookmarks on mobile (android) - the latest android update force-sorts all bookmarks alphabetically or time-wise, with no option to leave them in desktop order.

It is now very hard to find what I want in my painstakingly arranged bazillion bookmarks and folders and subfolders and so on...

Please restore the ability on mobile to leave the sort as it is on desktop. At least for the "desktop bookmarks" folder.

Thanks!

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?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using Firefox for years, but my bookmark bar is turning into chaos 😅 Between work, tools, articles, and personal stuff, it’s getting hard to keep track of everything.

I’ve tried folders and naming tricks, but I feel like I’m either clicking too much or forgetting what I saved.

Curious to hear what methods or extensions others here are using to keep bookmarks clean and accessible? Any tips or workflow ideas would be awesome!

Thanks in advance
