how to go back to the same directory after opening one bookmark instead of having to browse the directory tree again to open another bookmark from the same dir
I regularly need to check several bookmarks that are stored in the same directory, which usually is a couple of clicks from the main bookmarks menu.
When I select a bookmark in the tree that I created to organize my bookmarks and it does not give met the web-page/information I was looking for, I want to try another bookmarked web-page in the same directory. So I have to click my way through the whole tree again.
I would highly appreciate if it could be made possible that hovering over the bookmarks menu automatically will unfold the whole tree to the directory where I have been last. That would be a real time saver.

There might be an extension that can alter how the drop-down menu works, but I can't think of any built-in setting for it.
You might consider using the Bookmarks Sidebar when you need to do this. You can open and close it by pressing Ctrl+b. (Sometimes a form intercepts Ctrl+b to turn text bold, so if you are in such a form, you can open the sidebar from the View menu: tap the Alt key > View > Sidebar > Bookmarks)
If you have a widescreen monitor, you might be able to have the sidebar open all the time, but if not, you can simply close it when you're done with it.

Try using the Bookmarks Sidebar. {Ctrl + B} to open and close it. It will stay open until you close it, and when you do close it, the scroll position will remain until you close Firefox.
jscher2000 and the-edmeister: Thanks a lot! I do have a wide-screen monitor so this is a perfect solution.
