How can one find where a bookmark is located?

As briefly as I can: in Opera 12.16 there was a very useful way of managing bookmarks. When you issued a query in the "search" bar, you not only got the exact references to the bookmark you were looking for, but also WHERE in the "bookmarks" file it was located. For example: if you had a "DuckDuckGo" bookmark in a "Search Engines" folder, after querying for (e.g.) "DuckD" you received both a pointer to the DuckDuckGo bookmark, AND one to its actual location in its proper folder.
In Firefox, instead, if you issue a query in the "search" bar, you receive a chaotic and unordered list of "names", with no reference whatsoever to where every name points to: no folders, no subfolders, nothing.
Which is very disheartening for a user, like this writer, who has accumulated a HUGE number of bookmarks (some of which go back even to 1998, the year of the beginning of my "Internet" age).
Now I ask: is there any way to have Firefox's bookmark management work like the one of the old, "pre-Chromeization" Opera 12.16? If such a way doesn't exist yet, wouldn't it be the time to include it in a future release of the Fox?
Thank you in advance :)

Thank you very much, the-edmeister.
Well: when you say «I doubt if it will be added by Mozilla at this late date», I must admit I more or less suspected it ;) (or, in other words, my previous question was all in all just a "''ballon d'essai''", to see if there was any possibility in that direction.)
Anyway, let me add that it's a pity we have, as usual, to resort to - ''hear ye, hear ye! '' - '''yet another add-on''' [1], for a function which is patently so fundamental (in the bookmarks management) that it would deserve to be included already in the original code.
I LOVE Firefox (which keeps on reminding me of my "first love", Netscape Navigator): to the point that, just recently, I've had a harsh exchange in a forum with a fellow who, as it has become more or less custom nowadays, was complaining that "Firefox has become SO HEAVY and SO BLOATED in its latest releases" (and the obvious subtext was: "while, on the contrary, Chrome... blah blah blah".) My objection has been
* that, first of all, Chrome HASN'T GOT ANY BOOKMARK MANAGEMENT (at least, not one deserving any mention), as opposed to the Fox, which has one (my exact words) that is definitely SUBLIME (and it's true: second only to that of Opera 12.16, which is the ONLY reason why I still maintain the old-style Opera up and working, despite the fact that it clearly begins to show its age); and
* moreover, that with Firefox, in that precise instant, I was being able to keep '''750 tabs contemporarily opened''' (due to the fact that Firefox lets you decide whether you want the tabs to load as soon as you open them after a link, or not: a possibility which Chrome and its derivatives don't have); where, on the contrary, at least in my experience, already with 100-150 tabs Chromium and its derivatives begin to show clear signs of "''insanity''" =D
Too bad, however, that the SUBLIME quality of our bookmark management system is slightly "spoiled" by this kind of - I dare to define them - "''coding superficialities''" (or, which is the same, "''design superficialities''").
Thank you for your kind answer (and for your suggestion: yes, I had already searched through the add-ons repositories... but I missed those two extensions)...
Peace :)
P.S.: [1] an add-on which, incidentally, happens to work PERFECTLY!!

  • How can I find a lost bookmark folder in another bookmark folder? I had a sticky mouse when I moved it.

    How can I find a lost bookmark folder? A folder stuck on my mouse pointer I shook the mouse and it released the folder somewhere in the hundreds of other bookmark folders. I don't want to have to open every folder and search every file to locate it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Renaldo,
    You might try restoring a backup of your bookmarks.
    1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox window bar, click the Bookmarks menu and choose Organize Bookmarks to open the Library window.
    2. Before proceeding, you should make a backup of your current bookmarks.
    1. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup and choose Backup.
    2. Firefox will ask you to save the bookmark backup to a folder on your hard drive. Choose a location that you will remember.
    3. Your current bookmarks have been backed up to the file you selected.
    3. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup to open the Import and Backup menu, and pick Restore to see a list of available bookmark backups organized by date.
    4. To restore one of the listed backups, select it from the Restore menu. Choose the newest bookmark backup that was created before the bookmarks were lost. You will lose all changes to your bookmarks that occurred after the date you select.
    '''NOTE:''' To restore a backup that you saved manually, select Choose File from the Restore menu instead of selecting an automatic backup
    5. A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm replacing your bookmarks with the backup. To replace the bookmarks, press OK. To go back, press Cancel.
    '''NOTE:''' You cannot undo this unless you saved a backup file as instructed above.
    6. Your bookmarks have been restored to the date you selected. If your bookmarks do not show up after completing the restore process, repeat the above steps to restore an earlier backup.
    If the backup follows the bookmark structure then the missing folder should be displayed

  • How do I find where a bookmark is in my folder tree?

    I use the bookmarks menu a lot, and I have created many folders to organize them. But when I use the search function, all I see are the pages I have saved, NOT where they are in the folder tree.
    Sometimes I wan to reorganize the pages differently, but I don't know where they are!

  • How can I find where this came from? - start up disk almost full

    Hi, my mac began saying this to me today "Start up disk almost full"
    So I began deleting files. I deleted a lot via DiskWave.
    But now Diskwave says I have enough space but my mac sure doesn't.
    What do I do? What's all that 'other' stuff and where can I find it?
    Thanks in advance!

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How can I find where a specific font is used in a Pages document

    I have a Pages document that always shows a font missing error when opened. Is there any way to find where that font is supposedly used? Alternatively, if I install the font, the message doesn't appear — I assume that means that the font was found. Is there a way to find where that font is used in the document?

    Hi Bob.
    For the present, at least, it's going to involve a visual inspection.
    When you open the document, you can select a specific font in the Document Warning window, and replace it with another, using the Replace Font pop-up at the bottom of the window.
    Choose a font that will be easy to spot, such as Wingdings, used below to replace Cambria:
    At this point, you could replace the occurrences individually with a suitable font, or press command-Z to undo the replacement, or discard the Pages version of the document and open the original a second time to produce a new Pages document.
    For the future, you use Provide Pages Feedback. in the Application menu (in Pages, the "Pages" menu) to send a feature request to Apple. The link will also take you to the Feedback page.

  • How can I find Bitlocker External Key File location?

    My Windows 8.1 PC includes a system drive and data drives. All the drivers were encrypted using Bitlocker with the data drives set for autounlock. 
    I recently decrypted the system drive (without decrypting the data drives) and reinstalled the OS, after which my data drives required the Bitlocker recovery key to unlock. 
    However, I had "backed up" the recovery keys to my Microsoft account but now I can find only the recovery keys for the system drive. The recovery keys for the data drives cannot be found on my Microsoft account. 
    I have tried to use the "manage-bde" command at the console to obtain the recovery password but I am only getting the Numerical Password ID and the External Key File Name. Can anyone provide advice on how I can retrieve the passwords or the
    External Key File location?
    Thanks.

    Hi Ridgewood,
    As my point of viewer, the BitLocker Automatic unlock volume is also protected by BitLocker Disk Encryption. The user encrypted information is stored in the registry and volume metadata. After a user unlocks the operating system volume, BitLocker uses the
    encrypted information to unlock the data volume automatically.
    After the reinstallation of the system, the encrypted information is lost and BitLocker can’t unlock the data volume automatically.
    Every volume has own recovery key.
    As mentioned in your post, the data drive require the recovery key to unlock.
    I suggest you to double-check the OneDrive and try to find out where did you store the recovery key.
    If you can’t find the recovery key, we can’t help you to decrypt the data volume.
    Best regards,

  • How can I find where a track/album is listed in my playlists?

    Going through my CDs to see which ones I've imported into iTunes. Did a search for one album name, and found it in the Library, which of course dumps all tracks into one big container. I believe I have a playlist for this album somewhere, but I don't know where it is in my many playlist folders. Is there some way to find out where a track is included in a playlist or playlists, without manually going through every folder?

    Never mind; I found it in iTunes Help: control-click for a contextual menu, and it'll show the playlist(s) the item is in.
    RTFM.

  • How can one find out who made the Garageband song 'For the Mind'

    I ask because I have believed for 5 years that I did, it is in my projects folder from 2004. On Saturday I was playing with a new Apple laptop at JB Hi-Fi, I opened the Garageband folder and saw 'For the Mind'. I got a shock, then when I played it I went cold as it was as exactly my version! Either (and this is always a possibility) I am delusional, or I remember uploading a few things in my early use of Garageband, and somehow Apple has paid me a huge compliment and used my project as an example. I would love to know about this, it is driving me crazy now that I don't know. Can anyone shed any light on this please?

    Please don't rant at people who are trying to help you. I can tell my own compositions from others', and I'm not paranoid enough to suspect Apple to secretly search my hard drive for songs they can steal and publish as their own.
    (And you still haven't answered my question as to how you think they got your song ...)

  • How can I find where my Aperture 3 RAW files are kept?

    Hi,
    I need to clear my mac to free up some disk space.  The majority of space it used by apurture so ideally I would like to save all these RAW files to a hard drive.  I don't want to export them I just want to find the original files/versions.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    I also use TIme machine back up so would they be automatically stored on here?
    Thanks,
    Ruth

    Ruth-
    Note that any moving of Masters must be done from within Aperture. Do not try to simply move them or you will probably lose the connection. After you move your Masters to external drives as Terence described, your Masters will be "referenced" and the Aperture Library will be a civilized size. The Aperture Library should remain on the internal drive.
    Time Machine has a spotty history with Aperture backups. IMO original images should be backed up before import into Aperture or any other images management app, and the Aperture Library should be backed up from within Aperture using Vaults.
