Wow Firefox bookmarks are terrible imho.
If you click the star on a website and you want your bookmark to go in the bookmarks menu, you need to press the star TWICE, then choose "Bookmarks Menu" from a dropdown, and then click ok. That is 4 click too much. And where it puts it after clicking the star once is useless.
Then, the bookmark menu itself. So many useless things in there first before your actual bookmarks start.
- kijin 14y agoI actually like the fact that Firefox puts all my new bookmarks into "Unsorted Bookmarks" by default. I often bookmark pages before I read them, and use the Unsorted Bookmarks folder as a kind of reading list and sorting area. After I've read a web page, I will either delete the bookmark (if the page turns out to be useless) or move it to its final location (if I want to reference it again). I also often change the title to be more descriptive, remove cruft from the URL, etc. while doing so. For my workflow, a bookmarking system that automatically placed my bookmarks inside the Bookmarks Menu would be useless. It would be even worse if it tried to "guess" the folder where I wanted my bookmarks to be.
- sp332 14y agoTry this: Right-click a page -> Bookmark this page -> enter.
- shardling 14y agoI never use bookmarks that way. I just star (once), and use the URLbar to search for bookmarked pages. It's much easier than trying to maintain a hierarchy. If a page doesn't have a title I'll add a couple tags, and likewise if it ever takes too long to find a particular bookmark. But 99% of the time I don't even need to think about those things.
- mercurial 14y agoLikewise. I use it (rarely) as a way to keep a reference on a page and prevent it from getting garbage collected at a later point.
