I like Firefox very much, it is my favorite browser. I want to suggest new features related to bookmarks that will make Firefox even better:

If i were to build a new browser , I would invest large amount of my time on bookmarks features, I think it supposed to be the most important features a browser should have.


Use of colors: I want to be able to change the color of each folder I have in the bookmarks toolbar, and maybe each of the websites inside a folder.

Temperature: On a click of a button each site in the bookmarks toolbar will get a color between green and red. green means it's a site the user visits more often while red are sites the user almost never visits.

Tags: Every time a user adds new website to bookmarks he can tag that website. the bookmarks toolbar will have a small drop menu with all the user's tags. clicking on a tag will switch the whole sites appearing in the toolbar to sites that belong to that specific tag. In other words the feature will let the user creates many templates or versions of the bookmarks toolbar and switch between them efficiently. for example switching between 'university/school' bookmarks toolbar to 'entertainment' toolbar.

Syncing bookmarks in the cloud: I want to choose which bookmarks will be saved in the cloud for syncing. If I'm at home or using public computer I don't want the public computer to sync all my bookmarks, but the ones i choose it's OK. for example I can choose that only the 'university' toolbar mentioned in the previous feature will be the one to sync.

Thanks!

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad blocker.
