I added some folders to the favorite folders with CTL+B . There doesn't seem to be an option to give the favorite folder a short name. Clicking on the favorite folders button shows the full path of the folders, some of them are quite long. I would like to be able to give short names to the favorite folders. For example, FFProfile to C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. Is it possibe? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I think that this is possible. Aliases are your friends.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I am using the free version. Thanks

Edit: Ok, I did a search in the help file for alias and found out I can set @aliasname=value in the addressbar in the free version also. So thanks for the lead (help, alias keywords). It solved my problem

Tools => List Management => Favorite Folders....

Prefix the file path with the desired title in quotes and a space.

"Dokumenter" C:\Users\Regmos\Documents\

Have a look at the little <i> in the bottom left corner.

Thanks a lot Regmos! I find this method much better than alias. Aliases are more general purpose, and the folder shorthands show awkward looking @ sign before their names in favorite list. This is just what is desired.
