My main problem is similar:

- I want tags in my bookmarks.

- Firefox no logger supports tagged bookmarks.

- -> I need to use a third-party service (Raindrop) for bookmarking.

- Common web searches in the Firefox address bar do not search my bookmarks at the same time, as they would normally. I need to directly use Raindrop to search specifically from my bookmarks.

- -> I might save useful things but forget about them entirely, and end up searching for them again.

How so? You can still set tags on bookmarks, and those tags get matched by text you type in the address bar to determine what bookmarks to show you.

Yeah, that's something I would love Firefox to add: a local search index for full-content search of every page in my bookmarks and history, based on my cache.

Oh, I'm sorry, I mixed it up. Firefox no longer supports bookmarks with descriptions, which I would also like to have. Firefox on desktop has tags, but the mobile version doesn't.
