Here is what I ideally want to do: I would like to be able to log into any of my computers (home tablet or desktop, or work computer) and easily swap how my bookmark toolbar is set-up (ie, easily swap what bookmarks are displayed on the toolbar). I have a set of bookmarks for work, and bookmarks I use more at home. Let's say I'm at home on the weekend and want to do some light work-related stuff. I want to be able to easily pull up my "work" bookmark toolbar to more easily navigate across the sites I need to access. The best way I have figured out how to do it would be to create separate Firefox Sync accounts for "work" and "home." But I would prefer to be able to stay logged into one account, instead of having to log in and out of multiple accounts. I could simply just access them all from the bookmark sidebar, but that takes up valuable screen display space. Is there any in-built way to do the kind of customization I want in Firefox? Is there an add-on that provides this sort of customization?

Off the main bookmark directory tree, create two folders; Work & Home. There would be a number of bookmarks that you want in both. Plus, any changes would be recorded for access from wherever.

FredMcD, do you mean creating "work" and "home" folders on the same bookmark toolbar? That's not quite what I had in mind.

If that's not what you meant, I'll need some clarification.

You can place commonly used bookmarks on the toolbar. The Work and Home folders can be placed on the toolbar, or you can leave them on the main branch.

If you want to keep two sets of data separate then you can consider to use two profiles where only one profile is connected to Sync to be able to access your 'work' bookmarks.

See also the about:profiles page to be able to manage profiles from within Firefox.
