I don't know but i am uncertain of the tagging in Firefox. Have the Firefox team changed the tagging in later revisions of Firefox?

Back in FF 4 i think i made som tags on a certain adress (in this case www.tranceadict.com) which in turn created a virtual folder called Tranceaddict.


When looking in the tags of the bookmarks in that folder i don't see any tags applied at all. So i wonder how i could create such a virtual folder before but not now?

Thanks!

ok, i think now i'm getting what you're referring to. the interface to create smart folders from a search done in the library was apparently removed in firefox 19. you can install the following addon in order to get back this functionality: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/savedsearchbutton/

hello, each tag that you assign to any bookmark should also create a "smart folder" within your library with the same name that contains all bookmarks you've tagged...

Bookmark Tags - Categorize bookmarks to make them easy to find

Where's the smartfolder sorted? Not a smartfolder with blue icon and a magnifying glass on it?

no, there's an own section for tags

i suppose this translates to something like "recently tagged bookmarks"? this will only contain a certain subset of all of your tag-folders...

You should find them in the Library if you open the Tags folder in the left pane.

  • "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
  • Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
  • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.

Thanks but I do fine with tags however i wonder why the Firefox team removed that option to create a smart folder the simple way?

Before i could create that smartfolder named Tranceaddict which contained the bookmarks of the adress www.tranceaddict.com.
