I wrote this patch to solve this issue in Waterfox: https://github.com/MrAlex94/Waterfox/pull/843/files . If you think it is an appropiate solution to this bug, I want to port it to Firefox.

I'm sorry but I don't think we want to take a patch using WITH RECURSIVE, it would be a nightmare perf hog in a tree with thousands of entries. We need something more efficient (per bug 408991). If someone wants to look into adding an adjacency table to bookmarks, that's what we need.

I disagree with the performance issues. I am using this patch with 170k+ bookmarks with 276 folders with max depth of 6 for several months did not encounter any problems regarding performance. But if you have different use cases in your mind I can test them too. Also the stackoverflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/192220/what-is-the-most-efficient-elegant-way-to-parse-a-flat-table-into-a-tree/192462#192462) linked as a reference in bug 408991 is recently updated in July 2018 and suggests using recursive queries also. If I am missing something let me know but I think using CTEs are sufficient solution for bookmark paths.

Please don't change the status/tracking flags, they aren't going to make this be prioritised any differently and just cause unnecessary noise. The fact the bug is open is enough to indicate that it is an issue in the current versions.

(In reply to Camaleon from comment #141)
I also miss this feature a lot, it would be very useful for users having an old and huge bookmark library.
Searching and finding for a bookmarked site is fine but from a user's order outlook, a bit useless because you can't guess where the page is located under.
Best workaround is to use Bookmark search plus 2. You can get to the folder of bookmark easily. You can also search for bookmark folders. Recently also multi-select, was implemented, which is a huge help.

Shouldn't this bug be resolved now that https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469441 has been fixed?
Add "Open Containing Folder" context menu to search results of bookmarks in the Library window (link to view/open enclosing folder, parent folder button)
How to use:
FF menu > Bookmarks > Manage bookmarks (ctrl-shift-o)
Search for a bookmark > R. click one of the results > click 'Show in folder'
On the left, the containing folder scrolls into view and is highlighted

Please remember that Bugzilla is not a general discussion forum, but a place for working on fixing bugs. Off-topic, advocacy and metoo comments do not help towards fixing the bug. Due to the volume of these types of comments that this bug is receiving, I am restricting the comments.
Please re-review the etiquette before posting again in any bug.
We recognise that this is a pain point for users. As has been mentioned, a contributor recently implemented the right-click option for "Show in Folder" which at least mitigates this a little bit - but not obviously not fully. The way forward for any fixes for this bug would be as per Marco's comment 101. Please do not go commenting on that bug as well, unless you intend to help work on the patch to fix it.

:mak, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
