Default Bookmark Folder is a powerful Firefox extension that enhances the bookmarking experience by allowing you to choose the default folder for new bookmarks. It seamlessly integrates with Firefox's built-in bookmarking system, giving you full control over where bookmarks and bookmark folders are added — whether at the top, bottom, or last used location within your selected folder.

The extension features a convenient quick bookmark icon in the address bar, enabling one-click bookmarking. This icon changes color when the current page is bookmarked, and you can customize this color from a selection of options. You can also enable a quick bookmarking shortcut (Alt+Shift+D) for even faster access. Additionally, a dedicated toolbar icon and shortcut (Alt+Shift+M) let you search and select specific bookmark folders to save pages instantly.

Ideal for users who want organized and efficient bookmark management, Default Bookmark Folder simplifies your workflow by giving you full control and speedy access to bookmark your web pages exactly where you want them.

User reviews

Users find the Default Bookmark Folder add-on essential for enhancing bookmark saving by remembering the last folder and offering helpful options like saving at the top of folders. However, multiple users point out UI clutter due to having two bookmark buttons and note significant limitations with drag-and-drop functionality caused by Firefox API constraints. Some experience regressions in newer versions affecting bookmark placement in folders, along with keyboard shortcut conflicts with other extensions. Despite drawbacks, its utility in efficient bookmark management is well recognized.

Pros

Remembers the last folder for saving bookmarks, making bookmarking more efficient.
Offers additional options like saving new bookmarks at the top of folders, enhancing usability.
Essential and useful extension that improves bookmark management compared to Firefox's default behavior.
Functional and convenient to use for managing bookmarks quickly.

Cons

Does not integrate well with Firefox's default star button, resulting in two bookmark icons which users find confusing or cluttered.
Limitations due to Firefox WebExtension APIs prevent proper drag-and-drop bookmarking to the bookmark bar; bookmarks dropped are saved to the default folder instead of the intended location.
Some features, such as shortcuts, can conflict with other add-ons like Dark Reader.
Regression issues where dragging tabs into subfolders saves bookmarks only to the default folder, especially in versions beyond 2.13.0.
No option to change the default behavior when dragging and dropping bookmarks to add them to the top of folders rather than the bottom.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Default Bookmark Folder requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
