Feature request: show the entire folder path instead of the folder name

[syldub69]

Would it be possible to have an options to show the entire folder path instead of the folder name?
I often have the same folder name in many different locations (because I use the same structure of folders in the Bookmarks Toolbars and in the Bookmarks Menu).
And I have a lot of nested folders, it is not easy to know which one is the accurate one for storing the bookmark if I only see the folder name.

Currently it shows "parent folder - folder", or just the folder name if it's a topmost element. Not sure about those "IBM" elements. Are they stored in the bookmark toolbar?

You are right! Actually, I did not remark the "Parent folder - Folder" feature, because I already use this type of naming in my folders (as in "Hardware - Tools - IBM servers")...
The 2 IBM folders are root folders: one on the Bookmarks Toolbars and one in the Bookmarks Menu.
But the 2 could have been on the Bookmarks Toolbars, as Firefox allows to have many folder with the same name on the same level.
I think for showing the "Parent folder - Folder" structure it will be better to use the slash \ character, which is more easily interpreted as a path separator.
The best would be to have the full folder path, something like :
"Root folder \ Level 1 folder \ Level 2 folder \ Final folder"

I support this idea. I have the exact same problem, i.e. having several folders with the same name but in different parts of my whole folder tree.

e.g.

reference/php
reference/js/jQuery
tutorials/jQuery/jqGrid
utils/jQuery/tools
utils/php
utils/php/PHPExcel
etc...

as syldub69 suggests, change the hint from having hyphens '-' to '/' (or '') indicating different folders.
And show full paths all the time, instead of only 'parentFolder-folder'.

Another cool feature would be to also highlight the matching text, and even match children folders based on a matching parent name, (i.e. not only match final folders, but any level)
e.g. if I type 'utils' it should show:

utils
utils/js
utils/php
utils/mysql

Then I could choose among all those, and not just the utils parent folder.

IMO it would make the add-on MUCH more useful.

I would like this feature too. I would probably like the entire folder path to be shown below each entry in a smaller font, or as a pop-up tooltip when you hover over a given folder.
