1815121 - Opening "Manage bookmarks" from a folder should open that folder in the Library window

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, enhancement, P3)

Description

[that-ben]

Attachment: manage bookmarks.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

Right-click on any subfolder of bookmarks from the bookmarks toolbar and choose "MANAGE BOOKMARKS"

For all it's worth: Firefox v109.0 under Windows

Actual results:

It opens the LIBRARY on the root element ("OTHER BOOKMARKS") which is completely useless as it does the same as CTRL-SHIFT-O and/or the same as hitting in the menu bar: BOOKMARKS > MANAGE BOOKMARKS.

Expected results:

I would grealy appreciate if Firefox would navigate to the given right-clicked bookmarks folder instead of just opening the window to an useless folder like "OTHER BOOKMARKS".

Please see attached screenshot.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Thank you!
