Hi,

I tried

"Show Parent Folder [converted] 2.1"
from Classic Add-ons Archive
(see )

Does not work with unzipped unofficial (by wg9s) en-US SeaMonkey 2.53 (NT 6.1; 
Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build 20190801120006  (Default 
Classic Theme, German Language Pack active) on German WIN7 64bit.


Probably broken by same reason as "Go Parent Foder" by the same author

And the reason is that the test bookmark URL redirects to an 
un-bookmarked URL (eg to its http:// equivalent), so the first click on 
the address-bar bookmark icon makes a bookmark in 'Other Bookmarks' that 
doesn't match the two prepared test bookmarks, and the second opens an 
'Edit Bookmark' popup for the new bookmark. This should have been clear 
from the colour and tooltip of the icon, compared with the video 
prepared by Chris Ilias.


If the test bookmark doesn't redirect, I see the expected behaviour with 
both 2.49.4 and 2.49.5.


If there are several (n > 1) bookmarks with the same URL, the folder 
pull-down in the 'Edit Bookmark' popup focuses the first folder that 
contains one of the matching bookmarks and the 'Remove' button changes 
to read 'Remove n Bookmarks'.


So (as before) this isn't a very good way to deal with bookmark 
collections that may contain bookmarks with identical URLs.

As his video shows, it does work (when it does) in the limited case that 
there are no "duplicate" bookmarks, although that might cover many 
people's requirements. However so-called duplicate bookmarks are a 
natural feature of organising bookmarks into folders since you might 
want to archive some part of the bookmark hierarchy separately.


For example, I have an Ally Bank (http://www.ally.com) bookmark in my 
Financial folder.
If I click on the bookmark I'm redirected to https://www.ally.com and 
the default action for the bookmark icon in the location bar is Add 
Bookmark.
If I edit the properties of the bookmark and change the URL to https... 
then click it the bookmark icon (now with a green-ish background) opens 
the Edit Bookmark dialog.

True, the Edit dialog will apply only to the bookmark clicked.


Matching http: and https: bookmarks for the same site isn't the problem 
(though it could be another problem).


The OP's question asked how to match a bookmark in the Bookmarks Manager 
search results to the folder containing that bookmark, since the 
Bookmarks Manager search results pane (out of the box) doesn't show 
where each bookmark is stored.


The proposed solution is to navigate using the bookmark item in the 
search results and identify the highlighted folder in the folder 
pull-down of the address bar's Edit Bookmark dialogue. One issue with 
this solution is that its clunkiness echoes around the world; the second 
is that it can't work if bookmark search returns duplicate bookmarks.


Suppose
-	you have two bookmark folders, each recording sites used in a 
particular business activity;


-	both activities use Ally Bank and therefore contain a bookmark to 
https://www.ally.com (which you would have if you added a bookmark after 
typing http://www.ally.com in the address bar);


-	like the OP you are old enough to have many other such activities and 
corresponding bookmark folders;


=	wishing to identify which activities use Ally Bank, you search for 
'Ally' using Bookmarks Manager (the context of the OP's question).


Which folder should be highlighted after navigating to the Ally Bank 
site using each of the two bookmarks shown in the search results and 
opening the folder pull-down in the address bar's Edit Bookmark dialogue?


As you found with the http->https redirection, the address bar only 
knows about the displayed URL and not how it got there, so the dialogue 
has no way to select one folder or the other: I guess it shows whichever 
it finds first?


I would report what actually happens in such a case except that I only 
ever see "Other Bookmarks" highlighted, and never the user-created 
bookmark folder.

But as I noted in my post above of 22/09/19 23:15, this still

a)    doesn't actually work now, and

Obviously there's some difference in our configurations because when I 
do a similar test the bookmarked URL gets added to the built-in "Other 
Bookmarks" folder and that folder is highlighted.


My bookmark folder hierarchy is like that shown in the folder pane of 
your Bookmarks Manager window:


 Tags
 All Bookmarks
     >Bookmarks Toolbar
     >Bookmarks Menu
 Other Bookmarks

Ignoring for the moment why this behaviour is different for me, it 
illustrates the general problem that, if the bookmark hierarchy includes 
different bookmarks for the same URL, the address bar bookmark editor 
can only identify one of them.


The Parent Folder extension (discussed in the thread above) works within 
the Bookmarks Manager and so can (and does) show the immediate parent in 
a column of the bookmark search results.

That is why one should have an extension that checks the validity of bookmarks.  
I have one for every browser except Safari, and I have an external application 
to check Safar's bookmarks.




I use *safari* on my /iPAD/, but I do not like it.

Now, my home page for SeaMonkey is a HTML-formatted list of my

By the way, I set this up because I realized my most common task in

An interesting twist.

I do auto-export of bookmarks from my primary profile, and then for 
secondary profiles in Seamonkey, as well as other browsers) set that 
file as the browser's home page.  That way, no matter what profile or 
browser I'm using, I always have a current copy of my bookmarks available.


Periodiically, I will copy the bookmarks.htm file to my LAN, where I've 
done the same thing with browsers on other machines.


But you're right, looking at the bookmarks that way will allow you to 
see where it is in the bookmarks file.

This may be what should happen but I found that "Other Bookmarks" was 
highlighted rather than the correct parent folder. Logically, such an 
approach can't work if the same site is bookmarked twice in different 
folders. You need something that is linked to the actual search result.


The Show Parent Folder (identified by JAS below) and Go Parent Folder 
extensions address the problem to some extent. I loaded this 
 from the Classic Add-ons Archive and was 
able to add a 'Parent Folder' column to the bookmark search results. 
Unfortunately, you only see the immediate parent folder: I suppose you'd 
use the Go Parent Folder, not tested, to reverse up a folder path.

There's also  (has to be

the Bookmarks Sidebar, but in SM-2.49.5 the converted extension doesn't 
sync to the clicked search result above the folder pane as intended. By

have to organize them into folders. I know my bookmarks exist when I do
searches, but the found bookmarks doesn't tell me where they are in the
manager. Is there a way to know where exactly my bookmarks are in its
manager (e.g., which folders?)?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)



This is a very old problem.  Bug #56418 was submitted about this almost
19 years ago.  See .

I have a workaround.

1.  I set the preference variable "browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML" to
True.  You can do this either in about:config or put the following in
the file user.js in your profile:
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
(The second line is merely a comment to remind you why you did this.)

2.  In [Edit > Preferences > Browser], I selected the radio button for
"Home page" for all of "Browser Startup", "New Window", and "New Tab".
I then entered the complete path to file bookmarks.html (which is in my
profile} in the input area for "Clicking the Home button takes you to
this group of pages:".

Now, my home page for SeaMonkey is a HTML-formatted list of my
bookmarks.  I can use the SeaMonkey "Find in This Page" (Ctrl-F in
Windows) to locate any bookmark.

By the way, I set this up because I realized my most common task in
SeaMonkey involved looking at my bookmarks.



Thank you for the hint, really useful !

1. Go to the bookmarked page.
2. Click on the bookmark icon in the location bar. Beside "Folder", it 
should tell you the name of the folder the bookmark resides in.
3. If you don't know where that folder is located, click on the down 
arrow beside it, which will open the folder tree.

I have an old add on,Show Parent Folder-2.1-sm+fx.xpi that still works 
in my SM version 2.49.4, it adds a Parent Folder column to the right 
side of the bookmark manger ( Ctrl/B ) and when you do a search in the 
manager it show which folder or folders it is in.

There might be such an extension.  Since I nevertheless wanted the Web
page display of my bookmarks, however, my method suffices for me.

Basically, export my bookmarks to bookmarks.html file and then view that

I guess there are no third party extensions to show us bookmarks' folder 
locations too.
