(1) Can the age cutoff for the Last Visit date (and count) on sites in the Library be adjusted? These seem to blank/zero out somewhere around two months which is too soon for my taste.
(2) On Ctrl-Alt-B, the Library opens by default to Other Bookmarks. Can this be changed to a different folder?

Re: Library questions
I see 'Most Recent Visit' rather than Last Visit?
In my case, I've got some Most Recent Visits going back to 2015.

Re: Library questions
(1) OK, thanks, it may not be a cutoff issue. I think two things are happening that I didn't expect:
* Most Recent Visit data did not carry over from my previous FF installation to this new computer; and
* MRV is zeroed out even on bookmarks when a site is deleted from History, as I periodically do -- it's not kept independently in bookmark data, which also explains why it didn't carry over.
(2) Still curious about the default folder...

Re: Library questions
2.
There isn't an easy peasy way to change the default folder.
You would have to change the command for the keyboard shortcut.

Re: Library questions
Thanks. Does Custom Buttons still work? Of course I don't want an actual button. Is there no Firefox addon allowing what keyconfig used to do (or tbkeys still does in Thunderbird) anymore?

Re: Library questions
Those addons are obsolete. I was thinking of a userChrome.js hack.
The following code snippet works in the browser console.
Instructions:
* open about:config page
* set devtools.chrome.enabled preference to true
* open browser console i.e. tools > web developer > browser console
* copy and paste code into browser console command line
* press enter to run
* focus browser window
* press ctrl+shift+o to open library to bookmarks toolbar

document.getElementById("Browser:ShowAllBookmarks").
setAttribute("oncommand", "PlacesCommandHook.showPlacesOrganizer('BookmarksToolbar');");

* open browser console i.e. tools > web developer > browser console

Re: Library questions
Thanks, morat. If, like me, someone has trouble working out where to enter that code, there is an input area at the bottom of the browser console.

Re: Library questions
Of course you'd still have to set up userChrome.js (which I don't already have) to actually make that work, and this is too small a thing for me to bother doing that. But it's good to know, in case I do find another hack I really need one day.
I see they've changed the Ctrl-Shift-B shortcut itself now, how stupid! And there's a javascript hack to restore it, but I shouldn't need that because I could do it easily enough with AutoHotKey. (In fact I could probably set up a really crude hotkey for this as well, opening the Library then moving the cursor.) In any case, curiosity satisfied, thanks.

EDIT: the change in the Browser Console does NOT survive quitting and/or rebooting (not sure which as I have done both).

Re: Library questions
Use an autoconfig.cfg file instead.
