A new tab bookmark manager for Firefox

What is a new tab bookmark manager?

It puts your saved bookmarks on the page you see every time you open a tab, instead of leaving them in the Library window or the sidebar. Pikamark does this in Firefox: your bookmark folders become draggable columns (a board) or a gallery of tiles, with notes, favorites and color labels beside them.

How do I set one up in Firefox?

Install Pikamark from Firefox Add-ons with the button at the end of this page and accept Firefox’s prompt to use it as your new tab. Your existing bookmarks appear at once, because there is nothing to import. Press F on any new tab to open the command palette and jump to a bookmark by name.

If you would rather keep Firefox’s own new tab, decline the prompt and open the board from the toolbar icon whenever you want it.

Does it use my real Firefox bookmarks?

Yes. Pikamark reads Firefox’s own bookmark tree rather than keeping a copy, and it changes a bookmark only when you ask it to. Edits you make in Firefox show up on the board, and edits you make on the board show up in Firefox.

How does it compare with Firefox’s built-in bookmark tools?

Pikamark does not replace the Library or the bookmarks sidebar. It is a different way to look at the same bookmarks:

	Pikamark	Firefox’s built-in tools
Where you see it	On every new tab	In the Library window, the sidebar or the toolbar
Layout	Board of columns or tile gallery	A tree or list of folders
Notes, favorites, color labels	Yes, beside your folders	No
Jump to a bookmark	Command palette (press F)	Search box inside the Library or sidebar
Account	None	Firefox account, only to sync bookmarks

Is it free, and does it need an account?

The core is free for good, with no account, no item caps and no ads: board and gallery, notes, search, favorites, color labels, and light and dark themes with five accents. Pro is optional and adds tags, comments and reminders, workspaces, pinned links, backgrounds and automatic backups: $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $49.99 once, with a 14-day trial and no card. The full comparison is on the Pricing page.

Does it send my bookmarks anywhere?

No. Your bookmarks, notes and tags never leave your device, and the extension has no analytics or tracking. Pikamark contacts a server only for the Pro license check, made if you activate a license. Firefox also loads each bookmark’s site icon straight from its site; you can turn that off in Settings. The Privacy policy explains each permission.

Common questions

Does it work with Firefox Sync?

Your bookmarks keep syncing through your browser account exactly as before, because Pikamark works on Firefox's own bookmarks. Pikamark's extras (notes, tags, colors and layout) are stored locally on each device, so use Backup & restore to move them to another computer

Can I keep Firefox's normal new tab?

Yes. Decline the prompt to replace the new tab, then click the toolbar icon and choose Open Pikamark. Bookmark the page it opens, or set it as your home page, and open it whenever you want the board

Is every feature available in Firefox?

Almost all of them. Pikamark runs on Firefox from the same codebase as Chrome and Edge. Two differences are worth knowing. The backup folder on disk (Pro) is only available in Chrome and Edge, so on Firefox save copies with Export. And opening a folder in one tab group needs Firefox 139 or newer

Should I back up my notes and tags on Firefox?

Yes. Without a backup folder, what Pikamark adds lives with your browser profile. Once you have real data, Pikamark offers to save a copy after a day, then again after a week, two weeks and every month if you dismiss it. Export writes the same file, so keep it somewhere that syncs

Does it work in Firefox for Android or iPhone?

No. Pikamark is a desktop extension, and there is no mobile version

What happens to my bookmarks if I uninstall it?

Every bookmark stays exactly where it is, because Pikamark works on Firefox's own bookmarks. Only the extras go (notes, tags, colors and layout), so export them first from Backup & restore if you want to keep them
