Title. I want the Bookmarks Library to open in a new TAB instead of a new WINDOW, just like almost every other browser.

And no, the Bookmarks Sidebar is not enough (the one that appears after pressing Ctrl+B). I want to use the whole Library, just not in another window. It's very impractical.

That's my main question. My second one would be how to open the Bookmarks Library (in a tab, not in a new window) every time I open Firefox. And again, not the sidebar.

Thanks in advance!

Several ways to get to what you want, as for a new window ?? Tab ?

Firefox Menu Bar Mouse to top of browser to a blank spot Right Click then Click Menu Bar, (Can turn on Bookmarks Bar if want and drag URL's to it, Create Folders on it and Drag URL's into Folders. Very useful and quick to get to daily use.

3 Bar Menu --> Library --> Bookmarks ---> Bookmarking Tools --> Click Add Bookmarks Menu To Toolbar

Copy/Paste Bookmarks (trust me, Copy then Paste into the search bar on below URL. Find one that you like that does what you want. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thank you for the response.

I don't think you understood what my concern is...

I already know what the Bookmarks Bar is. I already know how to get to the Bookmarks Manager/Library. I already know how to open the Bookmarks Sidebar.

What I want to know is if it is possible to open the Bookmarks Manager/Library (the one you open with Ctrl+Shift+B) IN A NEW TAB, NOT IN A NEW WINDOW. Tab. Not window.

For example, let's say I have 3 tabs already open (Youtube, Google, etc...). I want the Bookmarks Library to open IN A TAB next to the tabs that were already open. NOT in a new window.

If you don't get what I mean, just press Ctrl+Shift+B and you will see that the it opens in a new window, separate from the window you were already using.

Oh, and as for the Extensions, I couldn't find any that solves this issue.

No not as far as I know as it is not a tab nor is it a new window. It is a separate Library Control which opens as itself only.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

You can use this chrome URL to open the Library window in a tab:

  • chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
