Needs support for Other Bookmarks folder

Ah, I had such high hopes!

Excellent extension. Thank you! But it sorted the entire Other Bookmarks folder, and there is no way to specify a custom sort (or no sort) for that critical folder.

Fortunately, I made a backup first, but I realized that doesn't backup the thousands of favicons.

Can you add support for the Other Bookmarks folder?

Yeah, Firefox doesn't show custom menu items for special folders. But you can still sort it from the menu of one of its bookmarks.

Thank you so very much for your quick reply!

You're right, you can still sort it from the menu of one of its bookmarks. That's a good workaround! I wish I knew that before I messed everything up! Live and learn.

Are you willing to file a bugzilla issue regarding this problem so maybe some day, in 20 years, Mozilla will fix it? I think they tend to respond better to the developers of extensions that are affected than users of those extensions.
