Recently Bookmarked (add back support for meta-types) #96

Open Ladergorn opened 4 years ago

I would like the "Recently Bookmarked" folder in the sidebar to be at the top, just below the Bookmarks Menu text, but it is at the bottom of the tree. I can move it in the Firefox library, but it soon goes back to the bottom. I can't find it in the Configure Folders list in the add-on to exclude from auto-sort. Thanks

There are two things going on in this scenario: 1) There isn't an option to exclude the root or top-most folder. 2) The "Recently Bookmarked" folder isn't a normal folder. It's a meta or special type of folder (it's actually a link so it gets treated by the add-on as a link). The ASB add-on used to handle these meta entries but that got lost when switching to web-extensions (Firefox Quantum).

Anyway, seems fixable.
