Used to be that when I bookmarked a page or site, Firefox provided an option for renaming. Doesn't seem to do so anymore. Nor can I rename in the bookmark list when I'm "managing" or editing bookmarks.

In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.

  • You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
  • You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
  • You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.
