It can also be subsetted using the agenda. The idea would be that when you, say, save all Firefox tabs that are currently open to a Firefox bookmark folder, you can export that whole folder to org. Then, you can add annotations, move the headlines anywhere in the agenda files hierarchy, export from org to w3m or Firefox or Safari (using the agenda to subset), and reimport back to org without losing the annotations (new browser tabs (web pages) that org does not know about yet end up in a special place in the org hierarchy while existing ones sync with existing headlines). Can the emacs bookmark mechanism serialize all that org data? If not, perhaps org would be a good place to store everything. Maybe we have different ideas, which deserve different implementations?

You can actually store all Firefox bookmarks to a org file. Not a specific Firefox bookmark folder (that can be done though). If the link is already in an org file, will it update the dates and avoid adding it to org elsewhere? Otherwise every time you store to an org file, you add duplicate entries. -- Q: How many CDC scientists does it take to change a lightbulb? A: You only think it's dark.

For Gnus, i use bookmark to quickly save a mail with (C-x r m), but i also use Org with remember when i want to store more info (TODOS, notes etc...)

If not, perhaps org would be a good place to store everything. For the moment, from firefox, i record only the title and url of bookmarks. however,i can record more infos if needed: All infos that are provided by the firefox bookmarks.
