It's been 3 weeks and no new nibbles so I'm tossing this chum back into the community waters.

Key phrase below: I WOULD STILL LIKE TO SEE THE PATH...

Another article showed me how to use the Parent Folder add-on to display the (duh) parent folder of a bookmark (see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/855436?e=es&as=aaq ).

While this was very helpful, I would still like to see the PATH to that folder in the display when searching for a bookmark.

This functionality is present in Windows 7 (it's called Search. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/videos/finding-your-files ).

With over 12K bookmarks, managed as only a librarian can, I not only need to locate bookmarks for retrieval, but want to save new bookmarks to the "correct" folder. The path allows me to do this.

How does searching within Windows help you with organising Firefox's bookmarks folders ?

(Unless you are using HTML files instead of Firefox's bookmarks database.)

I think you misunderstood (which was why I included the link to the Microsoft Windows 7 page). Before Firefox I used IE9 but both browsers run under Windows 7. I'm basically looking to emulate the functionality of the W7 Search tool when using Firefox (which the Parent Folder add-on tries to do, but not fully). Hope that clears things up?
