As said in some other post below, this is unfortunately not possible as of Firefox 57 and higher.
Quantum does not allow any add-on action in the bookmark manager.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 15131334, 23 dagen lynexcellent tool. gave it 4 stars but it's 4.99. that missing 0.01 point is for the icon that i find a bit unaesthetic and doesn't compliment the usefulness of this tool. may i suggest you change it to a more minimalitic design that matches the mozilla icons? hope you will consider, would definetly bring it to a flawless 5 stars for me. thank you for making this great little tool.

22 dagen lyn pleatstHello, thank you, any suggestion ? (if you can place that in https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues)
My skills on icon design are not the best :-)
The idea is to keep a reference / similarity to the FF bookmarks icon, with something showing a "plus", and easily distinguishable from the standard FF bookmarks icon. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Laura, 3 moannen lynThank you so much for making this, there's surprisingly little support for regex searching your bookmarks for some reason, which I would've thought a lot of people need/want to do. Handy little tool :)

3 moannen lyn pleatstWelcome, and indeed, regex is quite useful. However, not so many people know how to use it, so I guess this is only for a fraction of users :-)

6 moannen lyn pleatstHello, sorry for the problem, and strange that you cannot even uninstall it, that would suggest a Firefox problem maybe.
Would you mind opening an issue on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues, with a screenshot of the Firefox Add-ons page, and also indicating to me which version of Firefox this is, on which OS ?
Also, could I ask you to go to the Options page of the add-on, activate the Traces option, and then would you agree applying this procedure https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/wiki#debugging-bsp2--reporting-errors and report me the errors or messages that you see ?
Thank you in advance, and again sorry for the inconvenience, aaFn. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Stromfeldt, 7 moannen lyn

One small problem when I (mistakenly) open two Properties dialogs for the same bookmark.
1. Create a bookmark "testA" and press Save.
2. Right-click the bookmark "testA" and open Properties. Let's call this dialog2.
3. Right-click the bookmark "testA" again and open Properties. Let's call this dialog3.
4. Edit the title of dialog3 to "testB" and Save. The bookmark correctly changes to "testB".
5. Switch the focus to dialog2.
6. Don't edit dialog2 and just press its Cancel or X button. It will close.
7. But then, the bookmark automatically changes its title back to "testA".
I expect it to keep "testB", because I pressed Cancel for dialog2.
(Reply to Developer response):
Yes, limiting property windows to single instances sounds better.
Additional note. I called it a "dialog", but unlike modal dialogs, it is actually a non-modal window, and this is very convenient because I can copy and paste multiple text and URL from the browser's webpage into the properies, and vice versa. I can even swap multiple portions between two bookmarks. So keep it non-modal, if possible.
(Reply to update 05/11/2023)
Dialog in 2.0.119 works as expected.
I also add my thanks for your implementing the Undo feature.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
7 moannen lyn pleatstHello, thank you.
I guess I see in fact 2 changes to do here:
- when opening properties, if already open, re-focus on the already open one instead of opening a second one (I will verify this is possible)
- currently, when changing the value of a field in the property window, the bookmark value is immediately changed = this was the old behavior of FF when I created the add-on some years ago, a bit strange but this is what it was .. and so I mimicked it .. and so Cancel is restoring the old values when opening the property window.
However, this behavior now changed in FF, so I will look at going back to a more natural flow, where values are only changed when pressing "Save" (and so Cancel should do nothing, as the name says).
============ update 05/11/2023 ===========
Both changes made in 2.0.119 which is out now. Let me know on https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues if any problem.
And yes, this is non modal. And by the way, it can't be modal, as the FF Web extension (add-ons) API does not allow modal windows as of today, to my knowledge.

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12824412, 9 moannen lynGoergeous tool! Been looking for regex and some "show-my-bookmark-in-its-tree-location" functionality. And 'bmsp2' has both. Thank you very much, Chris

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch fireman0909, ien jier lynThere is a problem with the way the favicon is obtained.
First, open a bookmark that has already acquired a favicon.
Then open another bookmark in the same tab before the page finishes loading.
Then the acquired favicon disappears.
Please fix this problem.
------------------------
The above issue seems to have been resolved. thank you.
However, there was another problem.
Unable to open external file bookmarks.
for example,
file:///D:/Download/WebScrapBook/data/20230405010758065/index.html
I can't open bookmarks starting with 'file:///' like this.
Please fix it.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien jier lyn pleatstHello @fireman0909, yes, I fixed the issue as I initially answered to your comment I believe (but this edit doesn't show anymore, not sure why).
On the second problem you mention, this is because of Firefox security policy = it doesn't allow add-ons to open such URLs, as I documented in the Limitations section of the add-on. This cannot be changed.
Thank you, aaFn. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Cr8zy_Ivan, ien jier lynThe Firefox Bookmark Sidebar already kicks butt. This Add-On takes it to a whole new level. I am seriously impressed (🡰 Initial Review - 2023-03-28).
Edit (2023-07-27). After 4 months of use now, I just keep getting blown away by how amazing this Add-On is. More often than not in reviews, through time, ratings go down. I believe this is the first time I've actively come back to a review to praise it even more. If I could give a 6 star rating, I would. Amazing job aaFn. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14360676, ien jier lyn

- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch halperdude, ien jier lynThis functionality should be built into Firefox Bookmarks. I'm very grateful this add-on exists. Was driving myself mad right clicking the item i searched and then clicking show in folder. Now if only there was an add-on to find duplicates in folders... haha
- Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 17736822, ien jier lynUn incontournable.
Parfait en tous points. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch kiwichick, ien jier lynI have just started using this and I absolutely love it, especially being able to see which folder a bookmark is saved in. The only issues I have found so far are:
1) I have 'Remember size of resizeable objects' checked but the search pane isn't permanent (it is with the bookmark Properties window). If I close then re-open the bookmarks sidebar, the search resize is lost. If I choose another entry from the sidebar dropdown (eg: Bookmarks, History) then return to BSP2, the search resize is lost. There is nothing in Options that says this is expected behaviour so, if it is, can a note please be added to specify this.
2) Closing and reopening the bookmark sidebar, or choose another entry from the sidebar dropdown and returning to BSP2, doesn't retain the scroll position in the bookmark list.
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY:
1) Thank you for investigating.
2) No, you are not misunderstanding. I see that the scroll returns to center. That's all good if it's expected behaviour. At least it hasn't been scrolled out of view.Antwurd ûntwikkeler
ien jier lyn pleatstHello kiwichick, thank you for the feedback.
On 1), that was working in the past -> I see this is not working anymore,
I will investigate.
On 2), the cursor position (= selected bookmark) is retained and shown again when opening. FF and CSS center the view on it, so that might be a little different scrolling position than when quitting, but this should be close enough. Am I misunderstanding what you are saying ?
Note: for reporting issues / bugs, the best is to open them there -> https://github.com/aaFn/Bookmark-search-plus-2/issues
since then it is easy to follow up and to discuss, and to make sure that I can properly address them (this is hard to do on this add-on comment page).
============ update 17/01/2023 ===========
On 1), problem investigated, this was indeed a regression, fixed in 2.0.112 now published.
Thank you.
On 2), ok, thank you, yes this is the best behavior that can be easily achieved with GUI/presentation functions available to the add-on. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 17530236, ien jier lyn
