Wow. Works so well!! Great replacement for the outdated "Go Parent Folder / Show Parent Folder" add-ons. And I can finally search for folder names!! Great job.

Edit: Any way to assign Ctrl+B to bring up BSP2? (Or maybe assign it another shortcut key?)

I have a lot of bookmarks divided into many sub-folders, this extension is essential for orientation in this jungle.
Thank you very very very very much!!!!
the only negative side is that when you view properties of a single bookmark, you can only see the "name" and the "address".
To be perfect it should also show the other properties of each bookmark as you would see by clicking with the right mouse button on "properties" of the single bookmark in Firefox without additional components.
In any case, I can only thank you again for this extension.
Really thank you.

Very nice replacement for the old "Go Parent Folder" extension. Thanks a lot!

Note: If you are using the "Privacy Settings" add-on, you can't use the
setting "websites.resistFingerprinting" of that add-on, since it makes firefox
report spoofed information to websites. In turn, the icon of "Bookmark search
plus 2 (v2.0.24)" in the toolbar is grayed out and a tool tip states that
"Bookmark search plus 2" does not work in FF56. However, opening "Help > About
Firefox" shows the correct version (60.0.2) of firefox.

UPDATE: Hello aaFn, many thanks for your swift update to version 2.0.25 - it works nicely!

Five stars for creating a much-needed bookmark search feature, last seen in the pre-Quantum "Go To Parent Folder" add-on. Its responsiveness is indeed somewhat slow, as noted by user Paul Jackson, below, yet the developer's answer is informative about the reason for this. Faster would be better, but having the functionality in the first place is what matters most at this time.

Thanks to user irripod for alerting me to this extension (by way of a comment for another add-on) and, most of all, to the developer for the good work. The developer's communicative engagement with users in this comment section is a further point of note.

Unique extension for finding bookmarks in the large trees with a complicated multilevel folders and number of entries more than 80,000. The author aaFn put great efforts to function it flawlessly. My appreciations!

It looks like it would be a delightful add-on, however I have nearly 10,000 bookmarks, and everytime I access or start a search in my bookmarks using this add-on, my 60.0.1 Firefox hangs with 100% CPU utilization in a single thread, for about 45 seconds, before proceeding just fine. I'd wager that there's an N-squared algorithm, where N is the number of bookmarks, somewhere in a critical path.

Phew. I really missed the old 'Go To Parent Folder' extension, and this add-on contains that functionality which makes it really useful!

i can't tell u how many hours wasted trying to find out why a user can't search for their own goddamn folders in a browser. multiple forums later, nothing 'cept more grey hair. why even make folders if you can't later go in and search? seems like a internet 1.0 problem to me and none of the minions can explain why. had to use parent folder from alice but that became obsolete. now luckily, the extension was born.

con: sometimes doesn't show folder; have to right click to reveal . . . BFD, right?

pluses: this extension is a lifesaver. it has the highest utility for me. thank you, thank you, thank you

-------------------
update: when i was doing 3-4 searches in a row, the search pane would just churn and be blank. reloading fixed it. just updated firefox to 60.0.1 (64-bit) and not having the problem. i really appreciate you working on this extension.

Great add-on - unfortunately it removes the entry "Sort By Name" from the folder pop-up (right click on a folder)

Bookmark Search Plus works very well. It let you locate very easily your bookmark even on very large sets.

This is a very helpful add-on if you want to (re)organize your bookmarks. Find the folder where you have stored your bookmark, and then decide if you want to move it somewhere else. It is also useful if you have duplicate bookmarks and you want to decide which location you want to keep, and which one you want to delete.
Thanks a lot!

géniale. c'est exactement ce que je recherche depuis logtemps déja. POUVOIR FAIRE DES RECHERCHE DANS LES FAVORIS DANS LES DOSSIER ECT. c'est génial. Merci pour cette extension !!

This really should be the way FF works out of the box. Thanks you.

finally! so much useful and worthit! this will make EVERTYTHING EASY!

This is the Top 1 Addon Firefox should have before anything else, Bookmark Parent Folder is the most essential Addon, I wonder why firefox devs never focus it but thanks to this author who made this! really thanks a bunch for this!

Just what the doctor ordered to take away my pain!

That Mozilla still hasn't made this functionality native after all these years is ridiculous.

Thank you for taking up a just cause developer aaFn!

very effective addon. Essential if you have many bookmarks folders. Big plus clicking on bookmark it's immediately located in the bookmarks tree

Not to mention - the feature of showing the parent folder.

Thank you SOOOO MUCH for reviving the functionality of this add-on/extension! I actually haven't even tried playing with this yet because I wanted to immediately express my gratitude for your initiative...(I know how useful reviews are for businesses). Used the old version (by Alice777) for EVER...and have been SO frustrated since it's demise. How can anyone surf daily, accumulated thousands of bookmarks so quickly...but NOT even be able to find a bookmark's parent folder?? Impossible! But I kept hoping a quality developer that understands the deep void created by the absence of this indispensable tool would pick up the reigns and breathe new life into it. Thank you again!

Excellent add-on. Serves well as a substitute for "Go Parent Folder".

So helpful! I can find the folder that bookmarks are in. Great help with bookmark clean up and organization.

Thank you so much !!!
The first version (created originally by Allice0775) was a must-have , and after its wiping from here there wasn't a similar addon.
I haven't yet believed I shall encounter such a good addon like the original one.
This is almost so good as that was.
Of course it needs some polishing, but it seems (by the number of versions made in the last two month period) that it is under heavy developing, and it is much more than okay. :-)
I'm so thankful for this addon and the efforts behind it.
A fantastic and great job in the new world of Quantum's webextensions. ;-)

On the other hand, it can be used in Faterfox (which is based on Firefox 56).
I use it in both browsers with satisfaction.
Thanks again.

Best regards,
Gammadeus

P.S.
If you could make the remake of Allice0775' s other great and highly rated addon, the "Default Full Zoom Level", there would simply be the heaven.
With separeted icons (the red "P" and the blue "A"icons for zooming in and out, and resizing the magnification of the page and the size of the letters) there was the best zooming addon for the good ol' Firefox.
Of course it is only a beautiful dream.... But the dreams sometimes come true. . .
And I'm -- as so many others -- an incorrigible dreamer. . . ;-)

UPDATE _ 01.

Thanks for the tips, I know both of them. (The Ctrl+mous-wheeling is well known, but it has its own limits.)
Zomm Page WE is good enough (and better than the Mozilla's solution built in Firefox), bot not so good as Alice0775's addon, which one is more simple, and the separated icons (for separated zooming: one for the page zooming and another one for text zooming), with customizable zooming-scale.
If you are interesting in the Default Full Zoom Level addon, I have the original installer file of it (xpi, version 7.7). I collected from my saved old Firefox-56 's directory, so if you give me privat acces / address, I can send for you.
It would be so great to see it again, as a webextension addon here on AMO.
If I knew the proper programming language and I knew coding, I would wright it from the scrach (as a functional fork of Default Full Zoom Level).

Hi,.

Finally! thanks thanks thanks!

This is the first time I've ever rated an extension, and I'm soooo grateful you've developed it! I was so missing the old "Go Parent Folder" and "Show Parent Folder" add-ons. If you save bookmarks in a complex tree, this extension so deserves your attention! It allows you to see your entire bookmarks tree in the same window as the page you're wanting to bookmark, and search the tree for specific words. When searching, it shows you all the folders and bookmarks containing that combination of words. Clicking on a given folder or bookmark in the resulting search list causes the tree (separately displayed) to open up to the place in the tree hierarchy it exists. Right-click (context menu) on an item in the tree, and you can manipulate the folder or bookmark (cut, copy, delete, etc.). Fantastic!
