About this extension

Features

Firefox built-in bookmarking:

This feature only affects bookmarks added through the built-in Firefox bookmark icon or shortcut (Ctrl+D), through the context menu or via the bookmarks menu.

You can:
  • Select where the new bookmarks will be added
  • Choose to add the new bookmarks to the top or the bottom of the selected folder
  • Choose to add the new bookmarks to the last used folder (by any bookmarking or sorting method)
  • Select where the new folders of bookmarked tabs will be added (when bookmarking multiple selected tabs or using "Bookmark All Tabs...")
  • Choose to add the new folders of bookmarked tabs to the top or the bottom of the selected folder
  • Choose to add the new folders of bookmarked tabs to the last used folder (by any bookmarking or sorting method)

Quick bookmark icon:

This feature will add a quick bookmark icon in the address bar, to (un)bookmark a page with only one click.
The icon is a round star icon in the address bar.
If the current page is bookmarked, the icon color will change to red.

You can:
  • Enable the quick bookmark shortcut (Alt+Shift+D)
  • Select where the new bookmarks will be added
  • Choose to add the new bookmarks to the top or the bottom of the selected folder
  • Choose to add the new bookmarks to the last used folder (by any bookmarking or sorting method)
  • Choose to show the page as bookmarked (i.e. the icon color changes) only if all the bookmarks of this page are in the folder you selected
  • Select the color of the quick bookmark icon (among a list) when the current page is bookmarked (red by default)

Quick bookmarking to folder:

Access this feature via the extension browser action (toolbar icon) or via its dedicated shortcut (Alt+Shift+M).

It will allow you to search and select a specific folder within your bookmarks to quickly bookmark the current page into it.

Release notes for 4.0.0
BREAKING CHANGES
The add-on will now officially support only versions of Firefox that are equal or more recent that the current Extended Support Release (ESR). As of this release, that means versions 115.x and above are supported.

Additionally, a lot of work has been done on the internals of the add-on to try and fix (or at least improve) some of the issues introduced with the 3.x branch of the add-on (and themselves related to the internal bookmarking changes that happened back then in Firefox).

While this should provide a better user experience, it also means the internal logic to identify which bookmarks to process and how has changed significantly, and this is made explicit via the major version number.
  • update minimum Firefox version to current ESR branch (87b862e)
  • refactoring of the code to prevent processing bookmark that should not be (and re-organization of the add-on's structure) (725213f)

Features
  • update bookmark tree in real-time on options page if there is any folder-related changes (2cfd4b7)
  • automatic dark mode for settings page (422470b)
  • automatic dark mode for quick bookmarking to folder popup (cfc0a2d)

Bug Fixes
  • better handling for drag-and-drop (49ed724)
  • do not apply add-on logic when bookmark is created for a page different than the current one (270025d)
  • do not update last used folder when importing bookmarks (09ed406)
  • inbox mode consistently creating bookmarks (now limiting to a single one)
  • allow removal of multiple bookmarks via page context menu even if inbox mode is enabled
  • update copy to be more accurate regarding how the feature works
  • various UI and copy improvements
  • various code cleanup
