Why do you ship a product with the worst method of dealing with bookmarks?

There is no excuse why Mozilla allows FF to ship with such a poorly designed method of storing and editing bookmarks. Like most here I loath dealing with bookmarks as a result.. when bookmarks are easily one of the most important resources one has.

The window FF has to save a bookmark is made so small its hard to use.. there is no reason for this.. its the result of someone unfit to do their job getting away with lousy work by a boss who is unfit to do his.

You ask me for money.. every year.. and every year I give you money.. I stay loyal to the product in spite of a clar stint of neglect and a memory leak that makes it darn near unusable.

This is the problem with "free rides".. by that I mean no accountability.. Over time you ship lousy products.. and you ignore customer blowback.

Spend a coupe of hours investing time in designing a new bookmarks "save & management" feature.. make it reflect the importance of the resources we save links to. Your customer base will be thrilled!

I complained about this half a decade ago.. clearly Mozilla needs to shake things up.. yes .. I mean can the people preventing common sense and pride in one's work from driving your product line.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Thank you.

Hi Ian, it would be helpful if you could mention the specific things that irritate you in case there is an easy workaround (even if there isn't a complete solution).

As you probably know, there are many extensions that work with bookmarks, and it's possible that one of them offers the features you want -- or can be easily adapted. I mention this because changes in the core product are often slow, so extensions are a quicker way to work around missing or broken functionality.
