Hello.
I have so many bookmarks (since Netscape days (yep, I'm old!)) that I
have to organize them into folders. I know my bookmarks exist when I do
searches, but the found bookmarks doesn't tell me where they are in the
manager. Is there a way to know where exactly my bookmarks are in its
manager (e.g., which folders?)?
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
This is a very old problem. Bug #56418 was submitted about this almost
19 years ago. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56418>.
I have a workaround.
1. I set the preference variable "browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML" to
True. You can do this either in about:config or put the following in
the file user.js in your profile:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
(The second line is merely a comment to remind you why you did this.)
2. In [Edit > Preferences > Browser], I selected the radio button for
"Home page" for all of "Browser Startup", "New Window", and "New Tab".
I then entered the complete path to file bookmarks.html (which is in my
profile} in the input area for "Clicking the Home button takes you to
this group of pages:".
Now, my home page for SeaMonkey is a HTML-formatted list of my
bookmarks. I can use the SeaMonkey "Find in This Page" (Ctrl-F in
Windows) to locate any bookmark.
By the way, I set this up because I realized my most common task in
SeaMonkey involved looking at my bookmarks.
Thank you for the hint, really useful !
