Extending Mozilla
Locate in Bookmark Folders
I was pretty unhappy with Firefox not having by default a Locate Bookmark feature so I thought that writing this extension will both solve my problem and make a good start toward learning XUL and other Mozilla technologies.
Being my first public extension it's nothing spectacular. But it serves its purpose and if its users (I was the first one :)) are happy with it, what can one ask for more.
Generally speaking, the ideal place to install an extension is from Mozilla Update website. All the extensions posted there are tested by the Mozilla QA team, which means that the chances for something to go wrong are greatly reduced. As always, with computers nothing is perfect so it's a good idea to back up from time to time your Firefox profile.
LiBF is also located on Mozilla Update, together with some screenshots so you can see it in action. You can install it from there or you can download it from the links provided below.
Below are the descriptions and the download links for all versions of LiBF.
