by Firefox user 14604396, 6 years agoShowing bookmark parent folder is a must have feature for firefox bookmark manager that is missing.
Some bugs though at my 2.0.52v.
-> i use to bookmark a webpage by draging and droping the url to a folder in my bookmark toolbar, but i can't, there is a forbidden sign.
-> maybe one of my already existing bookmarked pages is infected with malware script. Although i didn't open at all that page, Avast keeps complaining about a malware script, like if i have opened it. This didn't happened ever before installing this add-on. I removed the add-on and i don't get any complains from avast (only if i open the page myself).
-> i've bookmarked "about:config" and when i click it, it won't open.

posted 6 years agoHello, thank you, I didn't know / didn't notice we could drag the URL address text from the location bar
=> usually, you just need to drag the (i) icon in the location bar ...
So I added it in 2.0.53 (which is out now).
On the 2 other points:
- Yes, upon first load, BSP2 has to fetch each bookmark URL to get its favicon, because the FF API doesn't make that available to add-ons. This is only on first load and until all bookmark favicons were fetched.
If you do not want that, just disable or pause favicon fetching in the options.
- "about:config" and in fact any "about:...." URL cannot be open by add-ons.
This is a security protection of FF (if you look at the browser console with Ctrl+Shift+J, you will see a security error), and this cannot be bypassed.
