I have a lot of bookmark in my bookmarks. Whenever I wan to add a new bookmark into the bookmarks, I open "Edit This Bookmark" Panel, but the Panel is very small (also does not support search). It is very hard to find the target folder which I want to add to.

How to expand the size of "Edit This Bookmark"? Or firefox another convenient way to add new bookmark to bookmarks? Thanks.

Chosen solution

You could add a line of code to put into a userChrome.css file to change the height and width of the panel opened. This is the code: #editBookmarkPanel { min-width: 500px !important;min-height: 500px !important;}

For an example of how and where to create that file, see this question for instance, or refer to this page.

Another option (probably easier) that also adds some features and therefor may be useful for you is to install the Edit Bookmark Plus add-on. This add-on does not seem to be compatible with Firefox Quantum (57+), but you seem to be using 47, probably for a good reason. If hardware or add-ons are the reason for that, you are advised to switch to Firefox 52 ESR.

Note that you can set click in the tree area to set focus to this area. You can do a search by (very) quickly typing the first letters of a folder to jump to this folder. This works with all treechildren type areas like the bookmarks sidebar or left panel in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
