Hi,
I want to sort my bookmarks in Firefox with home-manager into folders, but fail.
Simple example:
firefox = {
profiles."user" = {
bookmarks = [
{
name = "Nix";
toolbar = true;
bookmarks = [
{
name = "NixOS Search";
url = "https://search.nixos.org/packages";
}
{
name = "NixOS Options";
url = "https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/options";
}
{
name = "Home-Manager Options";
url = "https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml";
}
{
name = "Home-Manager Options Search";
url = "https://home-manager-options.extranix.com/";
}
];
}
];
};
My assumption was that I get a folder “Nix” in the bookmarks toolbar that contains the four bookmarks. But instead the four bookmarks are added to the toolbar side-by-side without being in a folder.
How can I achieve that?
Make this the toolbar directory. Note, this does not mean that this directory will be added to the toolbar, this directory is the toolbar.

If you open the bookmarks utility in firefox, does it show as a folder as expected? I think maybe toolbar should be false if you expect to see your folder on the toolbar
Thanks for the reply. When I disable the toolbar, the bookmarks are correctly placed in a folder but the folder is not visible in the toolbar anymore. So I can either have the bookmarks separately in the toolbar, or in a folder but not in the toolbar. The combination of both seems to be only possible if I move the bookmarks by hand in the UI :/
firefox = { profiles."user" = { bookmarks = [ { name = "Toolbar folder"; toolbar = true; bookmarks = [ { name = "nix folder"; toolbar = false; bookmarks = [ { name = "NixOS Search"; url = "https://search.nixos.org/packages"; }On phone so testing or reading source is a bit tough, but maybe nesting folders like the above work?
That worked! Thank you! The trick is really to embed the bookmarks into each other :)
