How do I hide or lock a bookmark/bookmark folder ?
I've imported my bookmarks folder from Chrome but it contains way too many bookmarks to sort/tidy them (It contains other unorganized folders too) so I was wondering if there's a way to either "hide" or "lock" the folder so that it's still there in the bookmarks menu/unsorted bookmarks/whatever but none of the bookmarks show when I search for something in the address bar.
I know you can disable the bookmarks suggestions but I'd still like to use that feature.

The point is not to bookmark these bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but store them in an HTML file that you open in a Firefox tab or possibly in the sidebar by using a bookmark to open this file and have this option checked.
Maybe this extension:
- Link Password: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/link-password/

You want to "lock" a folder in the Bookmarks Manager. I don't think that can happen. There may be an add-on that can help.
Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
One thing you can do is to save you bookmarks to a HTML file. The file can then be loaded into Firefox or a word type program.
To open the Bookmarks Manager, press the Alt or F10 key bring up the tool bar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control>(Mac:<Command>) <Shift> B.
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled Import and Backup. Select Export Bookmarks To HTML, and follow the prompts and save it to a HTML file.

Couldn't really find an add-on for that. And all I don't really want to re-import them every single time I need one of them.
The HTML is not really re-importing. This stores your bookmarks in a separate file. The file can be looked at to find the link you want, and will not change unless you change the file.

I'll probably use that, thanks.
