Bookmarks keyword content missing.
If two bookmarks has same keyword so one of them missing, so many my keyword lost because before not like this. The keyword column on library is missing too. Why this happen and how to solve it?

The keyword column is no longer supported in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), so you can't enable this column.
- Bug 1145063 - Remove the keywords column from the Library
Keywords will be bound to a specific URL and not to a specific bookmark.
You can look at this extension:
- Revert Keyword Column: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/revert-keyword-column/

Places Maintenance {web link} Allows to run Maintenance tasks on the database that drives Places, the bookmarks and history module behind Firefox.

@FredMcD Thanks for your answer. Installed but I have no idea what I want to achieve with this add-on and I don't understand what the function of option in this add-on that fit to solve the problem above.
@cor-el Thanks for your answer. Just know what the function of the keyword after read on developer page. Commonly I use the keyword for adding information on bookmarks in order to not open bookmarks over and over besides I only need a little bit information from the page of a bookmark. I think the keyword as described on developer page should fill in automatically, imagine there is hundred of bookmarks that want to set manually. Since the keyword cant fill in with same information, I just move the content of keywords to description box, now keyword is completely unused.
After install two add-ons from this support, I found when I select some bookmarks the counting is always 1 item.
You write: Commonly I use the keyword for adding information on bookmarks in order to not open bookmarks over and over
The normal usage of the keyword is to invoke a bookmark via the location/address bar. The description field is better suited for making notes about what the bookmark is about.
You can also consider to use tags to group bookmarks in a specific category.

Open the Add-ons Manager. Locate the add-on and press the Options button. Select All of the tests. Then press Execute on the bottom.
@cor-el Already using tags, folders etc. I am adding numbers to certain bookmarks from 0 to +500, so is not suited for tags. Adding information like numbers to description field, I can sort the column, however the view little bit unclean because there is description gain from page and I need it.
@FredMcD Done. No change seen. Check the keyword content missing is still. I am wondering what the goal to achieve besides keyword content missing because have same content and it is known as a feature from Firefox since Firefox 40.
