    I am trying to clean up my bookmarks and I want to know:

    What is the difference between the Firefox "Bookmarks Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Menu"

    • Where are each of these in Firefox
    • What determines if a bookmark is "Unorganised"?

    The bookmarks menu is the menu you get when you click the (right half) of the bookmarks button. The bookmarks toolbar is an optional toolbar that can be displayed below the address bar. Unorganized bookmarks (usually called Unsorted Bookmarks) are those that are not in either the bookmarks menu or the bookmarks toolbar. Bookmarks start out Unsorted, and you must choose whether they go in the menu or the toolbar.

    Items in the Bookmarks Toolbar are also available as a submenu of the Bookmarks Menu, as are Unsorted Bookmarks.

    Firefox bookmarks toolbar like Chrome

    Can I get my Firefox bookmarks toolbar to automatically display the top-level bookmark folders from my bookmarks menu, instead of having to manage copies of bookmarks in the menu & toolbar?

    I noticed that Chrome does this so I'm wondering if there's a way to do it for Firefox.

    Or how can we submit an "addon request"?

    You can open the Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B) or Organize Bookmarks(Ctrl+Shift+O) and drag Bookmarks Menu or Recently Bookmarked to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
