Organization of bookmarks is a FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTION of any browser.
RECOMMENDATION:
Firefox needs to implement a bookmark folder structure that allows us to easily SEE where our bookmarks are, and then drag and drop them to a new folder to organize them. Chrome has a GREAT solution. This is such a big issue for me that I may shift to Chrome. In Chrome you can do a search, find ALL of the bookmarks with one search term, find where they are located, and drag and drop them into their new folder. Easy-Peasy!
There are many recommended solutions in FireFox Forums, but none will do the job easily or securely. Three that I have seen offered are below:
BOOKMARK SEARCH PLUS 2 is recommended:
I looked at the Bookmark Search Plus 2. It allows passwords and user names to be read and is is NOT a extension that has been checked for security issues by FireFox programmers. See attached screenshot.
FIND THE BOOKMARK BY SEARCH & CLICK ON THE STAR AND EDIT THE BOOKMARK:
This shows where the bookmark is, but it does not allow us to easily move that bookmark to another folder. TOO KLUDGY!
EXPORT TO FILE AND FIND IT THERE:
This would require export each time we update the bookmarks AND other users have reported it does not ident the bookmarks under the folders. PLUS we are back to NOT being able to easily drag drop the bookmarks for organizational purposes within FireFox. TOO KLUDGY!

I've been complaining about the same thing (to myself) for quite a while. I was under the assumption that surely someone must have made a solution to this problem by now, I've just been procrastinating with finding it. Well, now I'm royally disappointed. I made the switch back to Firefox a few months ago after many years of using Chrome. I can't threaten to go back to Chrome because I'd lose my favorite extensions again, but I am very disheartened that I still cannot organize my bookmarks.
Furthermore, I've been using Chrome for work, and the two browsers' bookmarks had gotten out of sync. Thinking that Firefox would see that the folder structure and bookmarks were nearly identical and just copy over what's not there, I simply imported them over again. No! It copied everything! It didn't even rename the folders or bookmarks. I just have doubles of everything now. So frustrating. I really hope Firefox comes up with a solution soon. This is a great opportunity to get a leg up on the competition.
