Question

How can I delete duplicated bookmarks?

Community Answer

You can delete any bookmark in Firefox by right-clicking on it, then clicking 'Delete'. Usually, however, Firefox doesn't create 2 bookmarks of the same page. It only edits them. It sounds like you have the display of Recently Added Bookmarks activated. You can disable it by right-clicking on any bookmark that is not located in a sub-folder, then click 'Hide Recently Bookmarked'.

Question

Is it possible to open multiple bookmark folders at the same time in Firefox Quantum, similar to Firefox 52 with AIOS?

Faithcode Technologies

Community Answer

In Firefox Quantum, you can't directly open and view multiple bookmark folders simultaneously like in Firefox 52 with AIOS. However, you can use alternatives like tab management extensions or utilize the Bookmark Sidebar and Toolbar for better organization. Opening multiple Firefox windows can also help view different bookmarks. Consider exploring extensions or adapting to the new interface changes in Quantum.

Question

How can I automatically close a bookmark folder when I'm finished?

Lauren Eddy

Community Answer

Automatic closure of bookmark folders isn't natively supported in most browsers. However, you can use browser extensions like "Autohide Bookmarks" in Firefox for similar functionality. Alternatively, you can create a custom browser extension or script to achieve this, though it requires programming knowledge. Always ensure the credibility and permissions of any extension or script you use for browsing security.

Question

Can I change folder icons on the bookmark toolbar?

Lauren Eddy

Community Answer

You can't directly change folder icons on the bookmark toolbar in most browsers using native settings. However, you can use browser extensions or add-ons like "My Bookmarks" in Chrome or "Bookmark Favicon Changer" in Firefox to customize folder icons. These extensions let you select or upload custom icons for your bookmark folders.

Learnaswego

Community Answer

To change a bookmark's name in Firefox, click the star icon in the address bar to open the “Edit This Bookmark” dialog box. Enter the desired name in the “Name” field and click “Save.” If you've already saved a bookmark with the wrong name, right-click it, select “Properties,” enter the new name in the “Name” field, and click “OK” to save.

Question

I'd rather have favorite bookmarks and folders in an old-style drop-down menu rather than a toolbar. Is there any way to do this?

Rupert

Top Answerer

You can add folders to your bookmarks toolbar (right click on the toolbar), or you can right-click on the toolbar to open 'Manage Bookmarks'. From there you can access all your bookmarks.
