I just want to make a bookmark

more options

This is very easy. I click once on the bookmark star in right corner. And my bookmark is in the bottom of my Bookmark Menu. No Other Bookmarks menu!!! I click on the star another time. The bookmark is removed. That is all I want. Do I ask a lot? FF is 50 something version. It is 64 bit multithreading. But to create a bookmark I have to click 2 times and the bookmark is done in the wrong folder. To have it in the correct folder I have 2 click 4 times in different places. O hell. I had an addon to do it properly, but it does not work with new FF versions. I just very sad. So: - how to change default bookmark folder? (again, 50something, multithreading, 21st century, end of oil epoch and something inside me is telling me that such thing is beyond of FF developers ). Just had to create this post.

Creation. If you use one of the following methods instead of clicking the star, the default location will be the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu instead of the end of the Other Bookmarks category:

  • Ctrl+d
  • right-click a blank area of the page > star icon
  • (menu bar) Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page

You can click the Done button, or click somewhere in the page, or wait for the drop-panel to time out after a few (3-5) seconds.

Removal. You do need to use the two-step method: click the star, then click the Remove Bookmark button.

If you click the star on the Navigation Toolbar then the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog should open and stay open. That way you only need to click the Folder button and click the Bookmarks Menu entry. That would be four clicks including OK to save the bookmark.

That is what I am talking about. Istead of tune FF once forever I have to do every time eather: -use 2nd hand to Ctrl+D -look for free place on page where adding bookmark would work properly -go to menu and click there something -wait to splash window dissappear Of course I will create a bookmark in one way or in another. But this is not convinient.

"That would be four clicks including OK to save the bookmark." It could be one clicking. And it had, before addons stopped be supported. Of course I can sell a car and buy a horse. Of course it does the same function. But I don't understand why basic function is not comfortable to use.

Maybe someone will create an add-on that does it the way you want?

I hope so, but reading the thread of "add bookmarks here 2" add-on I came to the conclusion that FF developers don't give addons access to change bookmark menu behavior. The only hope I understood them wrong...

I'm not suggesting an extension could change the built-in function, but it might be able to provide a new one-click "instant bookmark" icon that works the way you like, leaving the built-in features in place for when you need to do something other than your default.

Good idea. Lets imagine I want to create such an add-on. Where should I dig to? What programming languages should I know?

An icon -outlined star. One click - star becomes colored - the bookmark created in the end of the bookmark list. Another click - bookmark removed - icon is outlined again.

Generally speaking, extensions are written in JavaScript and work with the WebExtensions API. For example:
