Before updating to newer version bookmark folders were yellow as they should,but in current version they are white and there is no way to change that.This should be added to options so we could chose the color we want.

Firefox is the only browser I am aware of that allows Bookmarks to be view in a vertical bar (CTRL + b). I am a technical researcher, so I end up finding a LOT of webpages I want to keep track of. So, I simply drag the tab to what folder/sub-folder I have categorized for that subject. I have hundreds of links saved in my bookmarks. This cannot be organized with a handful of favorites at the bottom of the toolbar.

However, one thing would be a game changer for this already great feature. That is the ability to color code folders or groups of folders. I am not a programmer, but this does not seem to me to be a huge undertaking. Is it possible to have a color palate behind one of the options when you right-click a folder? Is it a difficult task? That would be a tremendous help in organizing my many folders and sub-folders visually. I would love to see this feature. It would be great!

Not only color, but I can't even see a way to SORT folders to the top of a bookmark list by type. I am naming all of my folders "! folder_name" to get them to rise to the top when sorted by name. It's a work-around, but those folders are otherwise VERY HARD TO SEE. I have decent vision; I feel sorry for anyone who does not.

I would also like this feature. Color and format the text of Bookmark's folders names. For example change the color of the folder icon or make some Bold.

I would like to request an enhancement to the Firefox bookmarks interface to improve organization, usability, and workflow efficiency.

Requested Features:

  1. Custom Colored Icons for Bookmark Folders

    • Add an option to apply different colored icons or logos to bookmark folders.

    • This would allow users to visually categorize folders—for example, work, study, shopping, financial, personal, etc.

    • Users should be able to set a preferred color or logo/icon while creating or editing a folder.

  2. "Open in Container" Option for Bookmark Folders

    • When right-clicking a bookmark folder, provide an option:
      “Open All in Selected Container”

    • This will allow all bookmarks within that folder to open automatically in a specific Firefox Container.

    • It is especially useful for separating:

      • Work and personal browsing

      • Multiple login sessions

      • Project-based groupings

Benefits:

  • Faster and cleaner workflow organization.

  • Easy visual identification of bookmark categories.

  • Better utilization of Firefox Containers.

  • Improved privacy and multi-account handling.

Yes, Coloured folders like we had years back. It made it so much easier to see my sub folders.
