But I moved away from browser based bookmarks many years ago.  First I moved them to plain text (HTML) files.  Eventually I found Org Mode and Emacs and that's where I keep all my notes now.  As I can have whatever context I want along with the URLs now.  And they are more easily searchable, etc.

You don't have to use Emacs (she's a hairy beast) but just consider the notion of keeping your valuable PIM[0] in plain text files, generally speaking.  I do almost everything that way now, as I find it like a Lowest Common Denominator cross platform universal storage format.  Then you can sync with something like Syncthing, or even version control.

[0] Personal Information Management

I suppose that works, especially if you turn that file into a shell script FF launcher where you choose the link you want to open from a list.
I think if Mobian built FF with the same UI settings that the android build did it would make things more usable though,
especially need a nice mobile to desktop toggle for user agent.
I like the sparse UI for now but this is a pocket computer more than a phone, I need more function toggles in the UI than android not less.
I would also like an option to take the bookmark to the desktop as an option.
I played with the available toggles and if I type a few letters I get it to pop up the bookmarks and I think I will be fine with that for now.
