asked on Firefox bookmark dropdown shows 5 folders. Can that be increased?
When you bookmark a page, Firefox browser shows a default of 5 most recently used bookmark folders, in the Folder dropdown.
When I decide to bookmark a page, I would like to see a larger list of frequently used bookmarks - maybe 10 or 12. Of course, I could choose the option to see all of them, but that list is quite long.
Is there a way (a setting, or a hack) to get more than 5 items in that Folder dropdown?
I don't see anything, using "about:config" and searching in the value column for "5", and don't where else to look.
Thanks,
Dennis

mplungjan,
Firefox 10.0.2 (and many many versions before this one). Click on
Bookmarks
Bookmark this page
(or use Ctrl+D)
You see the dialog box, as supplied by Firefox browser (not talking about the add-ons, yet.)
You see
Name: [_________________________
Location: [_________________________
Folder: [_________________________
you see that "folder" is a dropdown listbox, and if you click the down arrow and drop down the list, you will see a total of 5 (maximum) folders listed that are the 5 most recent folders that you placed a bookmark in.
It is handy.
It is the most recent 5 folders used.
I wish it was 10, because I have hundreds of bookmarks and a huge directory tree of folders that I have to look through if the folder I want is not in the most recent 5.

There appears to be no direct solution, and no add-on to work-around the issue.
