3 questions about working with bookmarks

I need to be able to do these three actions on bookmarks:

1. Restrict a bookmark search to a particular folder 2. Export only the bookmarks in a particular folder 3. Modify text within the Name of a group of bookmarks (eg change "20170102" to "20171030")

(Actually, If I can do 1. and 2. I can take care of 3.)

I suspect there is not a way to do these things directly in Firefox. Are there and Add-Ons, compliant with the Nov.12 architecture changes, that will help with 1. and 2.?

Thanks

Try searching using search terms : Firefox (what trying to do) Extension

Nothing is moving fast on this so think that is your best possible result.

Note : Firefox 56.0.2 is current release https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ Full Version Installer Note : Firefox 57 Quantum release date Nov 14th https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/ Note : Legacy Extensions will be disabled and or removed.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

I think that neither of these are possible in current Firefox releases and have never existed apart from searching within a folder that used to be possible a long time ago IIRC.

You can give this utility a try,
