795331 - User Feedback says Bookmarks are Difficult to find/use

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1231792

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

We've received alot of feedback on Input that users are having a hard time finding their bookmarks. There isn't any specific information, but it might be useful to look into further.

Thanks Tyler. Do we have any data or comments on whether these people have turned on Sync to get Bookmarks from their desktop computers, and that's what they are looking for? Or just Bookmarks are hard to find in general?

Comment 2

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

There is feedback that mentions Sync, but it is mainly along the lines of "I synced my bookmarks from my computer and now I can't find them on the phone", which seems like the same root cause.

Comment 3

[Julian Viereck]

I ran into this "discoverbility" issue as well. I expected to find a button to open the bookmarks when in the tab-overview (the view you see once you click on the tab-number in the top-right).

Maybe add a button "B" to open the bookmarks next to the "+" button in the tab-overview?

Sorting of bookmarks also will be useful https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1014957
