Another heavy bookmarks user / hoarder here. I have around 30k bookmarks, so much bookmarks that Firefox freezes for a few seconds when I click on bookmarks menu bar item, because it tries to load them all within that drop down menu. I keep bookmarks sidebar permanently open without any slowdowns.

I've been using Firefox from its very beginnings so I can tell you I've tried switching to Chrome and Safari a few times over the years. Every time I tried to import bookmarks to other browsers they would simply crap out, while Firefox handled them without breaking a sweat.

Of course I continue to use FF for many other reasons but, at least at first, good and fast bookmarks management kept me using Firefox.

Lastly, if anyone knows a way to prevent Firefox to show all bookmarks in drop-down menu, let me know :)
