To help you organize, arrange, and manage bookmarks in Firefox, we’ve put together this list of tips. Use one or more to make better use of bookmarks in your favorite web browser. ..
1. Add Bookmarks the Easy Way

After using one of these methods, you can adjust the name, choose a location, and optionally add a tag. Select Save when you finish. ..
2. See All of Your Bookmarks
The Library contains all of your bookmarks, so you can see them all in one place and sort them by type, date, or author. You can also edit and search for bookmarks in the Library.
The Library opens in a pop-up window that allows you to manage your bookmarks.
The All Bookmarks toolbar on the left lets you see all of your bookmarks, as well as the Bookmarks Menu and any folders you create.
To add a bookmark to an item in the left-hand sidebar, click on the bookmark icon in the top right corner of the screen and select Add Bookmark.
3. Sort or Search the Bookmarks Library
You can sort the Library by title, author, or keyword. You can also search for a specific bookmark by title or author. ..
To view the library’s views, select Views (three lines on Mac) and use the Show Columns options to pick the columns you want to see in the Library.
To sort the bookmarks in your browser, follow these steps:
- Open the Firefox browser.
- Click on the View button in the toolbar.
- Choose a sorting option from the pop-out menu. Alternatively, you can select a column header to sort by that specific column.
If you want to find a specific bookmark in the Library, type a keyword in the Search Bookmarks field at the top of the Library.
4. Organize Firefox Bookmarks Using Folders
You can add folders and subfolders to organize your bookmarks for easy access. For instance, you may have folders for news, timers, games, or recipes. ..
You can add new bookmark folders in the Library by choosing a folder as the location and then dragging and dropping an existing site into it.
5. Put Your Bookmarks in the Right Order
When you open the Library window, you can reorganize your bookmarks by moving them up or down in the list. This way, you can more easily find the ones you use most often, or those you seldom use. ..
To rearrange bookmarks, select and drag one up or down to its new location. You can also rearrange folders this same way in the left-hand sidebar or in the list on the right.
6. Section Bookmarks Using Separators
Bookmarks are dividers in a user’s display. They can be helpful for grouping bookmarks into sections.
Remove the separator from the text by right-clicking it and choosing Delete.
7. Give Your Bookmarks Meaningful Names
When you bookmark a webpage, you may not change the default name that appears. In some cases, the name can be long or simply not easily recognizable. Luckily, you can rename a bookmark to something more meaningful to you. Bookmarks are great for quickly accessing webpages you visit often, but sometimes the default name is long or just doesn’t fit well. You can rename a bookmark to something more meaningful to you in just a few clicks! ..
To find a book you’ve been looking for, choose a location in the Library’s sidebar and then select a bookmark on the right. In the Name field, replace the existing text with the name you prefer. ..
8. Use Tags to Categorize Bookmarks
You can tag bookmarks to categorize them. This is convenient if you don’t want to set up a folder for related bookmarks or want to apply the same tag to bookmarks that are in different folders. ..
As an example, say you have folders for Google Apps and Microsoft Apps. You might apply a Spreadsheets tag to Google Sheets in the first folder and Excel in the second. You can then view both bookmarks in your list using the tag.
When you bookmark a page, you can choose to apply a tag to it. This will help you find the page again later. ..
Bookmark: Science fiction
To use a tag, enter it into the address bar and view the results below or choose the Tags category in the left-hand sidebar in the Library. ..
Remove the tag “Library” from the “Books” folder.
9. Include Keywords for Fast Access
To use keywords in Firefox, you can use the Keywords field in the Library.
To use a keyword, enter it into the address bar. You should then see results for bookmarks you have using that keyword.
10. Remove Unused Bookmarks
How many bookmarks do you have that you only use once or twice, or for a short period of time? Soon, you have more bookmarks than you use, making the feature unproductive. ..
You can easily remove bookmarks you no longer want. Choose a location on the left to display the bookmarks on the right. Right-click a bookmark and pick Delete Bookmark.
If you want to remove an entire folder and its contents, you can right-click and choose Delete Folder in the left-hand sidebar or in the list on the right. ..
