Finding locatin of existing bookmarks

more options

I go to show all bookmarks and search for a bookmark I know I saved before. I find it. The problem is it does not tell me what folder I saved that bookmark in. I have dozens of folders and hundreds of bookmarks. How do I tell where that particular bookmark is stored at?

Chosen solution

There is one built-in way to do it: load the bookmarked page, click the blue star in the address bar, and expand the folder list using the button to the right of the current folder name. That will show where the folder is in the hierarchy.

Or you can use the following add-on which has its own bookmarks sidebar with a better search results layout:
