   I can't figure out a good way to manage my bookmarks on #Firefox on Android.

   Mostly I create bookmarks in Firefox on Windows. They get synced to Firefox on Android, but it takes a minimum of 5 taps to load a bookmarked page:

   [three dots] > Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar > [optional: myFolderName] > [myBookmarkName]

   Whereas on Firefox for Windows, I can load a bookmarked page with 1 click (or 2 clicks if it's in a subfolder)

   Once upon a time, I would've relied on a search engine to work out if there's a way to reduce the number of taps required to load a bookmark on Firefox for Android.

   Alas, internet search is fucked these days.

   Perhaps there's not actually a way to reduce the number of taps on Firefox for Android. But I'm not confident that I've exhausted the possibilities, and I don't know how to fix that.

     @1ksrw I like the idea of a collection on the new tab page. Thank you for that!

     @lookitmychicken there is no better way sadly. you used to be able to use the keyword feature in the mobile app so you could open bookmarks with short custom keywords straight from the address bar but for some baffling reason they removed this when they did that big app overhaul a while ago and just never added it back. so these days i just put any sites that i use often into a collection on the new tab page to access them faster on mobile
