    For bookmarks I know we have two options:

    • Option 1: Bookmarks Menu → drop-down bookmarks menu listing
    • Option 2: Bookmarks Toolbar → one click access to bookmarks

    Is there some add-on/extension for Firefox which lets you search your bookmarks by multiple tags from Firefox without going to the bookmarks menu?

    I want to be able to type:

    Tags: work,book

    into something like the Google search bar in the top right hand corner. Kind of like how you can use searches in Evernote and Gmail.

    This feature is built into the address bar.

    All you need to do is type a +, a Space, and then each tag, separated by a Space. So, if you wanted to search for all items tagged with both "comedy" and "video", you would type + comedy video directly into the address bar.

    I need to share some bookmarks. I have given them all a different tag in Firefox [3.5.3]

    Now How can I export only the bookmarks under that tag so that they can be shared?

    There's no way to do it natively through FF. You'll either have to find an extension that will do it or export/backup and edit the resulting html/json files.
