Hello, is there a way to edit the URL of a bookmark while you're adding it? The editor currently only allows you to change name, location, and tags.

I've asked this same question a few years back: https://support.mozilla.org/gu-IN/questions/1300440

Someone provided me with a userChrome.css file to fix this, and it appears that it doesn't work anymore. Does anybody have an updated solution for this?

This code in userChrome.css works for me. Note that some of this code is in HTML namespace, so best is not to use the @namespace line in userChrome.css.

/* editBMPanel : Show URL row */
.editBMPanel_locationRow[hidden] {display: unset !important}


In Firefox 69 and later you need to set this pref to true on the about:config page to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in the chrome folder.

Thanks, it's working now. I still insist that this should be a default feature. I don't understand why I have to go through this effort to do this. In the very least, there should be a "More" button like on Chrome.
