Firefox bookmarks has to be the worst designed system in history. Can I make the Add Bookmark window bigger?
This must have been designed by someone with SERIOUS brain damage. Every time I use it it shows its glaring deficiencies. Its like whoever designed it never used bookmarks before in their life and never used it after it was done. I use the term "done" very, very loosely. How can people like this get work?
When you add a bookmark a narrow window opens up (of course you can't resize it) but I wonder if I can change its size in about:config? If you have a lot of folders you can only see a tiny bit of them at once. Its just ludicrous.
Another bizarre thing about the Firefox bookmark system is when you click on a bookmark it overrides your last opened tab. Why on earth would any sane person do that? If you want to close it you can close it anytime. Is there something in about:config that can make it work properly?
Maybe there's an extension with a sane bookmark system that doesn't look like it was designed by a brain damaged nutcase?
Maybe its just an autistic thing. Brilliant in a few areas and totally out to lunch in others. Like common sense. Sorry to be so harsh but I cannot comprehend how Mozilla has not fixed this. Maybe they left Earth and are exploring other worlds.
Yeah I know....I need a bookmark program. Its just kind of convenient to have it built into the browser sometimes. Its more seamless. If only this wasn't so bloody awful. And I do mean bloody. :)
If only I was smarter so I could code myself.....

Another problem is "Sort by name" has amnesia. It has to be constantly implemented. Truly unbelievable. Its like they try to sabotage this product intentionally. Who WOULDN'T want things sorted alphabetically (that wasn't in an insane asylum!)?
For opening a bookmark in a new tab there is a pref on the about:config page.
- about:config => browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true
Another pref related to opening a bookmark:
- browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu
Sounds that you aren't using "Sort by Name" in the context menu of a folder, but use the Views menu in the Library. Using "Views -> Sort" is similar to clicking on the header bar to sort by this column and shows a sorted list only in the Library. To actually sort bookmarks you need to right-click a folder to sort the bookmarks in this folder.

Add CSS code to the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
/* Hide Giant Thumbnail and Favicon */
*|div#editBookmarkPanelInfoArea {display:none !important}
/* Set minimum height/width for the full folder panel */
#editBMPanel_folderTree {min-height:20em !important; min-width:27em !important}
It is not that difficult to create userChrome.css if you have never used it.
The first step is to open the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" page and find the button to access the profile folder with the random name (xxxxxxxx.default-release).
You can find the button to go to the profile folder under the "Application Basics" section as "Profile Folder -> Open Folder". If you click this button then you open the profile folder in the Windows File Explorer. You need to create a folder with the name chrome in the profile folder with the random name (name is all lowercase). In the chrome folder you need to create a plain text file with the name userChrome.css (name is case sensitive). In this userChrome.css text file you paste the text posted. On Mac you can use the TextEdit utility to create the userChrome.css file as a plain text file.
In Windows saving the file is usually the only time things get more complicated because Windows can silently add a .txt file extension and you end up with a file named userChrome.css.txt. To avoid this you need to make sure to select "All files" in the dialog to save the file in the text editor using "Save File as".
You need to close (Quit/Exit) and restart Firefox when you create or modify the userChrome.css file.

In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.
- about:config => toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true
