Flat Bookmark Editing

When managing bookmarks in Firefox, if you want to change the name, link, or other information for a particular bookmark, you normally have to go through a multi-step process: select the bookmark, choose "Properties", choose the tab you want, edit a field, and finally click "OK".

The Flat Bookmark Editing streamlines this process by providing access to all the bookmark detail fields in one flat view, right inside the Bookmarks Organizer. Changing a field is now simple: select the bookmark and edit a field. Your change will be saved when you close the window or move on to another bookmark, or you can tap "Enter" to save your change immediately.

The Properties panel that this add-on puts in the Bookmarks Organizer can be temporarily hidden using the "Properties" toggle in the "View" menu.

The "up" and "down" arrow keys change the current bookmark selection, even when you're editing a field. When combined with "tab" and "shift-tab" for moving between fields, you can rapidy adjust several bookmarks without reaching for the mouse.
