## Description

**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.

## Review summary

Users praise Default Bookmark Folder for its ease of use, reliability, and time-saving benefits, with strong support for saving bookmarks to a default or last-used folder and related options. A recurring drawback is drag-and-drop behavior being constrained by the API, which forces drops to the default location and can hinder dropping bookmarks to the Bookmark Bar.

### Pros

- Easy to install and quick to set up.
- Reliable and widely praised for saving time and being highly useful.
- Core feature to set a default bookmark folder and remember the last-used folder, plus useful options like saving new bookmarks at the top.

### Cons

- Drag-and-drop behavior is limited by WebExtensions API, causing drops to go to the default folder and preventing normal drops to the Bookmark Bar.
