Hi, With "Tags" functionality already available for organizing bookmarks, what is the use of creating bookmark folders? In other words, isn't the "Tags" enough to organize bookmarks? If yes, then what's the usage of creating bookmark folders? If no, then why and how we should use the capability of creating new bookmark folders in Firefox? What's the best practice to create and maintain a well-structured bookmarks? Thanks

hi Danesh, i think the folder structure is just present for legacy reasons, since many people are used to them (because of the file system on their computer for example). if you can organize your bookmarks to your liking with tags only then that's perfectly fine :))
