The new bookmarks interface is unusable.

I could care less about "Recent Highlights" -- that is completely useless.

I don't want to click a Bookmarks icon just to get to a menu where I then have to then choose Bookmarks again (which only shows yet another useless menu).

When you finally get to actually see some Bookmarks, the first option is "Bookmark this page"? WTF for??? There is already an icon for that on the main window!

Tools: don't care Search: don't care Recently bookmarked: okay, but where the f are my other bookmarks, what happened to the tree view of all bookmarks? How am I supposed to browse my bookmarks. Bring up Show all bookmarks, you must be kidding.

So yeah, there are some nice improvements to Firefox in general, except with regard to Bookmarks. Terrible UI.

hi, the following steps should get you back to the bookmarking structure you're familiar with :))

  • click on the 57 library icon library icon and go to bookmarks > bookmarking tools > add bookmarks menu to the toolbar.
  • now when you click the Bookmark Menu icon (star on tray) icon that's newly appearing on the toolbar, you'll get to the same bookmarks menu like in earlier versions...
