Bookmarks system of Firefox allows categorizing bookmarks by folders, but does not allow to search them by folder name. Neither bookmarks siderbar nor bookmarks manager do allow search for bookmarks by folder name.

Example, where it is useful. I have two bookmark folders: `Friends' and `Foes'.

In `Friends' there are
- `John'
- `Marry'
- `Alice'
- `Bob'

In `Foes' there are
- `John' (it may point to the other John)
- `Bill'

Searching by `Friends' or `Foes' gives nothing. The user is forced either to append folder name to bookmark's title or navigate folder tree manually (tiresome if there is a lot of folders).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new folder `TestFolder' in Bookmarks manager
2. Add a new bookmark to this folder, label it with TestTag tag.
3. Open bookmarks sidebar
3.1. type `TestFolder' in search field
>>> no bookmarks found
3.2. type `TestTag' in search field
>>> the last bookmark is found
4. Open bookmark manager and repeat search there.
>>> the same results.
