Interesting, and very slick and pretty, but doesn't solve my too-many-tabs problem anywhere near as well as Tabs Outliner: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-outliner/eggk...

Equivalent for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... It supports grouping in the tab bar, or alongside in tree form. I find the integrated interface a bit better than the Chrome plugin above.

Tree Style Tab and Snaplinks are the main reasons I switched to Firefox from Chrome.

can anyone recommend a cross browser bookmark solution?

I use pocket for storing everything. It's cross-browser and device so you can easily sync offline to your tablet/phone to read on a plane. http://getpocket.com/

Pocket is fantastic. I tend to open hundreds of tabs and put them into Pocket if I don't have time to read them. It's nice to have them sync to my phone and my tablet so I can read them offline when I have downtime.

Would be nice to add a full-offline option. Don't take it wrong, but I'm getting wary of services offering to store my data online for free, especially when I don't know how / if it intend to make money. Looks good though, I might give it a try even with that issue.

on the same boat.. but have given up on using Chrome for bookmarks. It's too slow on Linux when you've more than 50 tabs.

Firefox loads under a minute with 510 tabs from various tab-groups. (I use a tab-group for each group and field of study and yes I use most tabs actually)

The search in the sidebar is so enormously useful, it helps me to find ANY bookmark made by hitting CTRL+b or middle-click (two-finger tap here). I heavily use tags, which is really making the search better, but I wish these tags could be automatically generated by an algorithm.

1. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/flat-bookmarks-h... (this is what opens up a better sidebar)

2. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/bookmark-rater/ (rating is really useful sometimes)

3. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/enhanced-middle-... (I use that to open the sidebar)

4. https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookma... (autosort "heap, stack and memory" of bookmarks. I don't sort the the toolbar)

Optional:

i) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/faviconreloader (In case you want icons for old bookmarks)

ii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tabgroups-menu/ (helpful to quickly switch, rename and reorder tab-groups, because zooming-in-out sucks)

iii) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/unloadtab/ (worried about loading >500 tabs at once? set it to load only tabs you clicked and unload tabs oder n)

Quick question : Are there any reasons that you opted for a sign-in access instead of an offline access? I prefer offline as I can configure on my machine and sync with the built-in browser sync. If I need to access these bookmarks permanently, I can use

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/roomy-bookmar...

or other bookmarks plug. Nice one, though.
