How do I edit bookmark folders in Firefox?

Published in Firefox Bookmarks 2 mins read

You can edit bookmark folders in Firefox by opening the Bookmarks Library and then modifying the folder's name and other properties. Here's how:

  1. Open the Bookmarks Library: Press Ctrl+Shift+B (or Cmd+Shift+B on Mac) to open the Bookmarks Library window. Alternatively, you can click the menu button (three horizontal lines) in the upper-right corner, go to "Bookmarks," and then click "Manage Bookmarks" at the bottom.

  2. Locate the Folder: In the Bookmarks Library window, browse the left-hand pane to find the folder you want to edit. Bookmark folders can be located in the Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, or Other Bookmarks.

  3. Edit the Folder: Once you've found the folder, right-click on it and select "Properties" from the context menu. A dialog box will appear where you can make changes. Alternatively, you can simply click on the folder to select it and then view/edit the properties in the right-hand pane.

  4. Modify Folder Properties: In the Properties dialog box (or the right-hand pane if the dialog box doesn't appear), you can:

    • Name: Change the name of the folder. This is the text that will appear in the Bookmarks menu or toolbar.
    • Description: Add or edit a description for the folder. This is optional and won't be visible in the menus, but can be helpful for organization.
  5. Save Changes: After making your changes, click "Save" or close the Properties dialog box. The folder will now be updated with the new name and/or description.

In summary, editing bookmark folders in Firefox is straightforward and allows for easy organization of your saved websites.
