Folders in bookmarks are all yellow and look the same.

After moving related bookmarks into one folder in the left side column of bookmarks, all the yellow folders look alike.

Is there a way that is not complicated to distinguish each folder in some way?

For example-- to have a folder with all eBay related bookmarks to show the eBay icon. Or a TIVO folder to have a TiVo icon. Even simpler yet, just an assortment of colors we could assign to each folder. I would think someone should be able to create an add-on for that.

Moving related bookmarks into one folder creates fewer bookmarks but then it's just one blur of yellow folders. You have to look at each folder name to find what you want.

With the separator lines just barely visible as well, this makes it even worse. Separator lines should be much darker.

There aren't any extensions that allow to assign an icon to a bookmarks folder AFAIK.

So your only option to accomplish this is with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.


#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"] {
 list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;
 -moz-image-region:auto!important;
}

Thanks for your reply but this is too complicated for my level of technical skill.

Someone needs to develop add-ons for these two problems. I'm sure they would be very popular.
