How do I make the cursor default to the "Tags:"-field instead of the "Name: "-field when adding a new bookmark?

Since I never edit the name and always adding tags to my bookmarks it would be very convenient if I could make "Tags:" the default active field when adding a new bookmark with Ctrl+D?

Chosen solution

  1. In the address bar, type about:config, press Enter and accept the warning.
  2. Enter bookmarks.editDialog.firstEditField or a part of it.
  3. Change the value from namePicker to tagsField.

The cursor should now land in the tags field.
