I have a LOT of bookmarks - what can I use?
I want to be able to manage and sort them. I use firefox, so both tags and folders are okay. manually exporting groups of them to like documents related to the topic I was researching (and then removing the bookmark) would also be okay. Self-hosted solutions are also welcome.
Very successful post, thank you everyone for sharing your bookmark-related tools.

Honset question: How many of these bookmarks do you use regularly? Can you trim them down to a much more manageable number of bookmarks?
I periodically go through my bookmarks and purge ones I haven't accessed in a while because they're not actually serving any purpose.
Yes certainly, and I think I'm gonna need a better UI than what firefox offers in order to do it. I'm real quick and messy about saving, so a lot is gonna get deleted for sure.
I don't know if you're into switching to a whole new browser, but I use qutebrowser. I've become extremely fond of a "no organization" approach to bookmarks. When I save a bookmark, it goes into an unorganized bank. The key is you use search terms.
For instance, I type "github" and it comes up with any bookmarks with the word "github" in either the URL address or the title of the saved web page. It's way, way faster than traversing folder structures.
If you're typing GitHub to search for the bookmark, you might was well type GitHub in the address bar to search.
