Can any Firefox pro here help me with the bookmark manager of FF? I can assign keywords to bookmarks (shortcuts), and I like that a lot. So if I assign the keyword `hn` to `https://news.ycombinator.com` https://news.ycombinator.com` I just need to enter `hn` in the URL bar.
But assigning a keyword to a bookmark is too many clicks away: I need to open the bookmarks manager (`show all bookmarks`), select a bookmark, look at the bookmark properties in the bottom, expand two more fields: keyword and description.
Now is there a shorter way to get this? Or an add on that works with FF 57?
Also: Is there a way to filter all bookmarks with keywords assigned to them? This question has been asked in [1] several years ago, and back then it was possible to add a `keyword` column to the existing columns in `manage bookmarks`.

Edit: Added an explanation for the `keyword` feature.
- Mandatum 9y agoIt appears they've removed the "Import" button, or hidden it away somewhere. In the meantime, if you're looking to make the switch and can't find it - it looks like you can drag and drop from Chrome bookmarks one at a time. EDIT: It appears to be completely removed from 57. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.places.importBookmarksHTML http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.places.importBookmarksHTML no longer exists. It makes sense given they've heavily moved away from the HTML storage. It was nice however, being able to quickly and easily share my workstation setup with new hires.
