IDEA: Better Bookmark Manager for FireFox

[raindew01]

This might be way too big a coding job, I'm not sure--

I would *love* to have a bookmark manager that integrates into FireFox, that is easier to use. For instance, when I'm creating a bookmark, I have so many folders  that it makes it hard to find where to put a  new bookmark; I'd like to be able to search and locate an appropriate folder easily when I'm creating a bookmark. And have a good search method, period.

Would something that tags your bookmarks be acceptable?

Tags would be great. Would I then easily be able to sort them?

If you use flock from flock.com you will have a tagging bookmark thingie built into the browser. And there are several bookmark addons available for firefox (for flock as well); however, some of these require an account with one of the many "social bookmarking" sites, for example magnolia, delicious, spurl, gmark, weave, and many more.

I admit I am not very sure whether or not there is an addon that will let you organize bookmarks with tags and doesn't require such a web service.

I used to use delicious, and then switched to magnolia, because their website looks prettier. These days I am using "GMarks" with my firefox 3 beta.

Using an online bookmark storage will let you synchronize your bookmarks too. But you will have to trust someone with your bookmarks.

Thanks for letting me know about that. I'd rather keep my bookmarks on my own pc, and I searched through the firefox add-ons a few months ago, but i'll do so again.
