Firefox Bookmark Manager with Multiple Instances

Firefox Bookmark Manager with Multiple Instances

When you "show all bookmarks" in Firefox a "library" window pops up. If you ever try to sort a huge amount of bookmarks you would appreciate having multiple "library" windows open.

Are there any bookmark managers that operate while Firefox is open and allow you to have multiple instances/windows as the "library" window?

You can open this chrome URL in new tabs to have multiple instances of the Library open:

chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul

and can view the tabs side-by-side with the Tile Tabs extension.

This can be done by using a combination of one or all of:

  1. Bookmark search plus 2
  2. The built-in bookmark manager CTRL+SHIFT+O
  3. The built-in bookmarks sidebar

Advice taken from this page on Mozilla/Firefox support and working on Firefox 94.01.

I can see that a moved bookmark in one of the above bookmark tools shows as being moved in the others. But you may want to exercise caution as I'm not certain this is a fully supported.
