Hi, I am doing an enormous amount of research on various subjects and thus I like to "bookmark all tabs" from time to time to make sure I don't lose it all. However when I do this it moves any of those tabs I have bookmarked in specific locations to the "temporary bookmarks" fold I've created for this purpose.

I want to be able to bookmark all tabs to my "temporary bookmarks" folder but still leave those tabs that have bookmarks in other folders there (allowing duplicates). How can I accomplish this? I could not find anything.

Thank you!

I do apologize for my foolishness. I did check around a lot and didn't find an answer, but I just tried more things and figured it out myself. Unlike the normal bookmark function where it repositions your bookmark, the "bookmark all tabs" option does actually leave those bookmarks that already have a folder alone. You can delete this (unless it could help others I suppose.

Oh and I should add that I realize I can ctrl+shift+b and copy/paste a bookmark to another location. But with 700+ bookmarks open it's practically impossible to find what bookmarks have gone into the "bookmark all tabs" folder and copy paste them back to their respective folders.

There are Bookmark Managers :

Also Organizers :
