Yet you objected to Chris' workaround on the grounds that you might not be able to find the bookmark by searching. Subsequent to that, you objected to him telling you how to search for a bookmark on the grounds that you were already able to find the bookmark by searching. I still can't tell if there's something else you need to be able to do, as the thread grows longer. > As I and others have pointed out in this thread, it would be > desirable to be able to locate and move a searched/found bookmark > directly in the Bookmarks Manager, and this has been discussed under > two separate bugs over and over for 12 years. Sure, and there's an add-on that does it, Go Parent Folder, mentioned early on in the thread. IIRC, you don't want to use extensions. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
