How can I extend the Recently Bookmarked list?

When I click on the "Recently Bookmarked" tab the list doesn't show all of the book marks that I added. The list is only ten items long. I'd like to see all of my recent bookmarks for at least the past week.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

hello AngelElf, press ctrl+shift+b in order to open the bookmarks library and right-click somewhere to create a new bookmark - you can give it a name of your choosing & enter the following code into the address field: 

place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&queryType=1&sort=12&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI&excludeQueries=1

afterwards restart firefox once - this will create a smart folder which contains all your bookmarks sorted by the date you have added them.

please update firefox to the latest version as soon as possible - you are using an outdated version affected by numerous known security vulnerabilities which will put the integrity of your system and your personal data at risk!

Note that the default Recently Bookmarked smart folder has a maxResults=10 parameter to limit the number of results.
Leaving out this parameter entirely can make this smart folder to react slowly in case you have a lot of bookmarks.

  • Name:
    Recently Bookmarked
  • Location:
    place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&queryType=1&sort=12&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI&maxResults=10&excludeQueries=1
