After reading your comment, I went to the bookmark manager in Firefox. Looks like Firefox supports tagging bookmarks. But finding them again using tags seems a bit cumbersome. You have to go the the menu to search bookmarks and then enter the tag.

ctrl + L to go to the address bar then type * <space> to search in your bookmarks.
Replace * with ^ to search in your history or % to search in your open tabs. You can also try @google or @wikipedia to search on those websites.
I love those shortcuts! This is the kind of features that make Firefox far superior to Chrome in my opinion.

Firefox allows tags
You're not alone. I am with you.
To add to your little annoyances, I'd add one as well – categorizing the bookmarks.
Even if I end up bookmarking a site, I find it hard to organize it nicely in a place that I can go to later on.
I'd love to put some hashtags on bookmarks to search for later.
Just me?
