Organizing Bookmarks in Firefox the Easy Way


While playing with my bookmarks, I discovered a very easy way to organize them, without using any additional Firefox extensions. The trick is not what I used, because folders are nothing special, when it comes to organizing data, but how I did it. I know some may say "oh, but that's obvious!", but since it wasn't that way for me, I am sure other people would enjoy learning about this too...
Nicely organized bookmarks


Things are pretty simple - we'll add bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar, then create a folder, then drop them inside it.

- Open Firefox, and check to see if the Bookmarks Toolbar is displayed. If not, go to View>Toolbars and be sure to have it selected, as you can see below.
Enable the display of the Bookmarks Toolbar


- Click on a tab, hold the left mouse button pressed and drag it to the toolbar, to add a bookmark there, and then repeat until you feel the need to get organized...
Now we have some bookmarks in the toolbar


- Right click the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Folder.
Do what you see


- Enter the name and description of this folder.
Baptize the new folder


- Now, simply drag and drop the bookmarks from the toolbar to this folder. Here's the result...a better way to managed your bookmarks, allowing you quick access to them(see the screenshot below).
The result


Incredibly easy, isn't it? Best of all is that you don't need any extension to do this, and the Open All in Tabs option allows you to open an entire group of bookmarks at once, helping you gain even more time in your battle for ultimate web browsing efficiency!
