How to update browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation with JavaScript
The default location of the new bookmark is set in about:config，that is browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation. How can i change it with JavaScript in third-party extensions？

Hi Jason
It is not possible to alter about:config preferences using an add-on.

Well. Is there an API to update the default bookmark location？As is usually done by clicking on the collection star.

I am sorry, but I do not believe that there is.
Perhaps a policy would do what you want. There is a list of policies on github and searchfox.

I researched policy, maybe my knowledge is shallow and I didn't find a solution.
There is also autoconfig.js which enables you to preset preferences. (Remove the blank space in the second link.)

What is your use case for modifying the browser.bookmarks.defaultLocation pref ?

I'm using a third-party bookmark add-on “Bookmark Tab Here”, but Firefox's bookmark button doesn't remember the add-on's most recent bookmark location.
