show-all-bookmarks ctrl-shift-B: is there a way to show the bookmarks folder name in the pane on the right, to make it easier to organize them?

I have many bookmarks in many folders. When I Show-All-Bookmarks then search them with search bar at top of page, the results list doesn't show folders. I'd like to see folder name to know what folders the bookmarks are in without having to hunt for them in the folder pane on the left. A folder name column on the right would be a huge help and make it so much easier to organize. Is there a way to do this?

Firefox doesn't have a way to show the parent folder of bookmarks search results.

Try this extension.

cor-el, thanks so much for the tip. Not what I was picturing, but that does help a little. I would hoping for a way to show a folder column in the search results, or include it in the dropdown list of columns to add, but then I guess someone would have already done that!
