Bring Back Bookmark Description field to Firefox

[OG]

In past when I bookmarked a link I could've added description or notes to it.

the type of notes I used to add to Description field:

• where I learned about the website/link.
• What that page or utility does
• for some shopping sites, I would add the restriction of that websites, for example the minimum order, the locations they delivered to, what is the delivery cost etc.
• Specially if it is outdated website, I add Issues that the website had and workarounds.

It is just useful when you needed it. right now I add these to the Name field. But it is not that efficient .

It would be nice to have a notes column in bookmark menu(library). so the user can add notes about that link/website.

As I posted before make bookmarks work the way was in the past. Now bookmarks is worthless to users of Firefox. Hope you get this message

@paymanzHi! How are you?

This is very helpful and could help this topic open "Bookmarks with intelligence in Mozilla Firefox": https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/bookmarks-intelligence-in-firefox/91973/2

Some proposed features:

1. 'Types... for Bookmarks',
2. 'Color for Bookmarks',
3. 'Collection for Bookmark',
4. 'Automatic tags for bookmark',
5. 'Search with intelligence in Mozilla Firefox' - inspiration would be something like the Evernote search system,
6. 'Option to export bookmarks as csv, bibtext, markdown(table), sql or json in Mozilla Firefox'

So... Adding notes to bookmark would be very interesting and helpful.

@paymanz Hi! How are you?

Efficient system for bookmarks - my general idea:

Notes

1. Fields( note-bookmark, color-bookmark, type-bookmark, tags-bookmark, location-bookmark, collection-bookmark, name-bookmark).
2. Fields as tags, location, type and name are filled in automatically.
3. Location field is only done by labels(tags) like Gmail system, not done by folders(treeview) - treeview is just the view of labels(tags).
4. Option to export bookmarks as csv, bibtext, markdown(table), sql or json in Mozilla Firefox.
5. Search with intelligence in Mozilla Firefox - inspiration would be something like the Evernote search system.

adding an extended comment to a bookmark...

I am currently using ver. 109.0.1 and I don't see any possibility to add a comment to each bookmark
I remember that when I used XP I had a firefox who permitted that (but I don't remember the version) so I suppose it is a cut out feature. Why that? I think it was such a useful feature the possibility to add an extended comment to each of your bookmarks.

Note or comment on bookmark

Hello

I have to use an external application to store my bookmarks, because I want to put some notes on some bookmarks.
I find this very problematic. I haven't found an addon that does this, but anyway it seems useful to me that this is natively integrated (with the option to search in these notes).
We would avoid additional operations (unnecessary clicks)

Regards

Yes I remember this description field, very useful
I don't understand these regressions!?
In any case, it is the minimum without necessarily adding many other fields

[OG]

I'd like to add a tip/workaround to other folks here that I use Tags for my notes and comments which is absolutely not ideal, but I have horrible memory.

in tags field I add tags normally,but for notes/comments/description I suffix "description:" 

here is an example of how I do it:

[how to, Photoshop, x, Y, Z, Description: this trick works only in this version, tutorials]

Bookmarking is horrible on all browsers that I tested, it is so slow and cumbersome.

like how come there is no auto tagging.

and WHY when you add a bookmark via the star button you can't search for a folder in the "Location" field, you have to find the folder in a tree list, it feels archaic, and you can't add icons to folders.

so Mozzila, add a search field under the "Location" filed to search for the folder, and when you hover over the result it says where the folder is located.

I used bookmark comments to save security login answers to websites.  I would prefer that a comment field be added to the password manager for security login answers, but would also like comments be brought back to bookmarks as well.

Seamonkey still uses description box for Bookmarks.  I'll save important bookmarks with descriptions in Seamonkey, but the Seamonkey browser works on fewer websites than the Firefox browser.

@OGUnfortunately, export Bookmarks in Firefox does not export tags or keywords.
