The superhero app i didnt know i needed (so bad). Lifechanger

Just what was needed to remediate the dysfunctional Firefox bookmark library/folder sorting. You'd think after all these years Mozilla would have done so.

I can now sort my OTHER BOOKMARKS by DATE ADDED in most recent chronological order and have it stick. And NOT have it alter the bookmark order in the BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR folder.

Right-click a specific folder and locate at the bottom the add-on option to configure. Remember to tick the box "Always keep sorted" then click "Confirm".

I tried the Auto-Sort Bookmarks add-on extension from another dev, yet that did not offer specific folder configuration. The folder options were only global.

As of writing, this was operational on version ESR 115.17.0

Please keep this add-on alive!

Thank you!!!

really helpful thing

Leider kann man nicht auswählen, dass nur Bookmarks in einem bestimmten Ordner sortiert werden, und alles andere unverändert bleibt.

Es werden immer alle Lesezeichen sortiert.

Schade, weil es ansonsten ein sehr gutes Add-On wäre.

It's not "Sort Bookmarks", it's "Sort Bookmarks BY FOLDER".
So basically, this does nothing more than what Firefox already does by default.
Useless.

Works well. Most reliable way to have settings per folder is to have bookmarks sidebar open and right click on a folder, then select 'Sort this folder'. In fact this seems to be the only way to set unique settings for 'Other Bookmarks' folder. Using Firefox.

hey man, I'm trying to sort a folder in the firefox bookmark manager (separated window). when I right click the folder and click "sort this folder", the add-on dialog open and close immediately, and I can't do anything.

Not able to Reset After Sort

This one actually works! Just be sure to click on its toolbar button and enable "always keep sorted". For whatever reason the most important option isn't shown in the add-on's options dialog.

I tested a few other bookmark-sort add-ins, but this one ticks all the boxes. You can sort bookmark maps and bookmarks separately, even exclude some maps/bookmarks. Perfect.
