Add bookmark window (Ctrl-D) should be resizable

[jokari]

Hello Mozillians,

Since several years now, Firefox choose to make "Add Bookmark" window (Ctrl-D) a fixed size. I really like the workflow for the user of clicking on the url bar's star then choose a location in my bookmarks folder to save it.

That's the point where the user experience become cumbersome and, after a while, really infuriating especially on desktop.

The problem:

• In most situations I need to click one more time to expand the "location" window. Sometime I doesn't need to, but if it were already expanded it wouldn't bother the user either. One less click in many situations, not a click more in any other situation. Win-win.
• "location" window is way too small. On desktop I have a large screen but I am forced to, again, click and drag the side bar to painfully look for my bookmark folder. A 7 lines tall window for something like 30 lines tall bookmark folder (without sub-folders expanded).

To fix those issues, in "Add Bookmark" menu (Ctrl-D):

• "Location" drop down menu should be expanded by default. Even if it is not always needed, it doesn't add supplementary click ever.
• Last used location in "Location" should be remembered.
• Remove the most used locations shortcuts we have now (or make it optional) in "Location" drop down menu. For me, those are rarely needed. I often need to go in a sub-folder anyway.
• Make the "Add Bookmark" and more specifically the "location" drop down window resizable and/or larger. This is the most important modification.

On a side note, I did research how to resize this window. I found old posts and issues spanning several years and many subpar solutions about extensions (most doesn't exist anymore) or userChrome.css file to bypass this UI problem.

I hope it doesn't come to harshly on the Devs of Firefox. It's an amazing piece of software that I love.

The issue is not so much trying to bookmark every website, but if you have a well-developed folder structure for your bookmarks to make it easier to find links, then the current window is too small. However, I found an extension called Bookmark Search Plus 2 that makes it very easy to add a bookmark to anywhere in your folder tree by right-clicking the folder and selecting Bookmark tab here. This should be included in Firefox rather than relying on an extension.
