Well, one thing is that I have significantly less tabs than I had bookmarks. My bookmarks where somewhere high in the 5-figure range, maybe even 6 figure.
My heaviest used system has less than 10k tabs open.
It’s not ideal, but the tab trees in treestyle tabs mean I usually can just scroll a short bit and click to find what I need.
Ideal would be a fully external bookmark manager - but browsers don’t have APIs for that, so you’d have to end up writing an extension just to talk to your external management solution, and since they gimped the firefox plugin system about a decade ago you don’t really have any useful APIs for doing that. (I’m current maintainer of the emacs keybindings extension for firefox, it’s a hot mess to get a fraction of the functionality that was possible with the old extension system working. No idea why they don’t offer the ability to do custom keybindings)
I still cant fathom having that many bookmarks… generally if i dont use a website often enough, i dont even bookmark it because i will just forget the website even exists. So no point in bookmarking it to begin with. I rely on the history search. Just type the first two-three letters in the server address and it recalls every website i visited or have bookmarked, and includes web searches. Vastly more convenient.
