Manage Bookmark in new tab instead of seperate window

[absud]

Hi I have a lot of bookmarks with a lot of sub folders and it is really frustating to have to switch the window everytime. I currently have my browser and the bookmark window next to each other in split screen. I would love if you could manage bookmarks in a tab on the current window to make navigation easier.

Alongside that, Id love it if I could open a specific folder instead of it going to other bookmarks and me having to click through everything again.

Bonjour,

Je souhaites vivement aussi de pouvoir gérer les favoris dans un nouvel onglet, je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce n'est pas le cas.

Good morning,

I also really want to be able to manage favorites in a new tab, I don't understand why this isn't the case.

Open Bookmarks Library in a tab (not a new window)

It is efficient and helpful to have the Bookmarks Library open in a tab (not a new window).

Hello

Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/u8klsp/how_to_open_the_bookmark_library_tab_in_a_new_tab

Enter chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml into the Location Bar, then bookmark that tab.

i know there's an option to use chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml,

but this functionality should be the default, and the keyboard shortcuts and menu options should open the library in a new tab and not in a separate window. Come on Firefox, its not 2005 anymore.

@Jon this is a great idea! Switching between windows for bookmark management is tedious, especially when you have a folder structure.

Hello

Is it this subject https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/open-bookmarks-library-in-a-tab-not-a-new-window/idc-p/63272

Enter chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml into the Location Bar

The URI:

chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml

Is read-only, so you can't use it to edit, add, delete, or move folders and links.  Basically, you can't use that link to 'Organize' your bookmarks.  So, the above commenters should verify that their advice is valid, before they passing it off.

Open Bookmarks Library in a New Tab (not a new window)

When I open the Bookmarks Library, it should open in a new tab (not a new window)

Bookmarks Library opening in a new window represents a major usability flaw, especially when users have more than one profile window open. It really is inexcusable that Mozilla has not added this functionality yet. Bug 697359 is 14 years old.

This bug should be a very high priority to fix ASAP.

I wanted to leave feedback to Mozilla on my most frustrating aspect of using Firefox for many years now. The most frustrating aspect is that the Bookmarks Manager does not open in a tab. 

It would help my workflow enormously if I could engage this pattern to find and open bookmarks:
1) tap Ctrl+Shift+O
2) have Bookmarks Manager open in a new tab with the "Search Bookmarks" field focused so I can immediately start typing. If when I tap Ctrl+Shift+O a tab is already open with Bookmarks Manager, then tapping Ctrl+Shift+O would move the view to that open tab and immediately put the focus into the "Search Bookmarks" field to receive typing input.
3) within the Bookmarks Manager, bookmarks that match my search query will immediately populate as selection-options from my typing.

None of the above 3 steps work in Firefox. I use the Bookmarks Manager heavily on a daily basis. For reasons I won't get into, using the URL bar dropdown is not a solution.

I read Mozilla is creating a new UI. Firefox does not *need* a new UI. It does need the Bookmarks Manager to function how I described above in the 3 steps. I hope that with a new UI design, the Bookmarks Manager will start behaving in the manner of the 3 steps described above. It is my hope that this post can bring attention to the issue. Thank you for any attention you can bring to this problem.

I was happy to see the work done to make Profiles more accessible in Firefox.  But with increased use of Profiles, having different users' Bookmarks Managers open in new windows becomes a major work flow, attribution, and organization problem. Another reason Bookmarks Manager needs to open in a tab.
