It seems my rant on Ubuntu 24.04's handling of third-party deb files rattled many in the community. While many people agreed with me, some think it's a non-issue. A few crass comments are there telling me 'to just use the command line'. I believe they missed the point I was trying to raise. Yes, it can be done by other means but no, the functionality should not have been removed as it leaves a bad first experience for users who think Ubuntu provides an 'out of the box' experience.

On Firefox, we can assign tags to bookmarks so that they can be easily accessed by entering the tag name in the address bar.
Visit the site you want to bookmark and click on the bookmark button. Then, add a name to the tag. (new name, if there is none, or select from the list, if existing tags are there)
Now, if we enter one of your tags in the address bar, all the bookmarks associated with that tag will be suggested to you.
