How to search for a bookmark Folder by name?
Using 59.0.2 (64-bit)
Searching for a bookmark is easy, but I have hundreds, and several are nested a few levels deep. There must be a tool to directly search for a Folder.

Possibly one of these two: Bookmark Organizer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/892902/bookmarks_organizer_webextension-2.0.1-an+fx.xpi?src=search
Group SpeedDial: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/936183/group_speed_dial-9.1-an+fx-linux.xpi?src=search
Thanks for your reply. I downloaded Bookmarks Organizer, but it seems to be a lot more ambitious than what I am looking for. One helpful thing it did was tell me that I have 10,485 bookmarks. It started checking them over an hour ago, and is half way done.
What I was looking for was something like Ctrl-F as is used in text files.
If all folders have a unique name then you can possibly consider to use a special search feature that works with treechildren type lists. This will work in the left pane in the Library. You can set focus to the tree pane (i.e. click in this area) and very quickly press the first characters of a folder name to jump to this folder. You can repeat this to jump to the next match. This only works for folders that are visible.
OK, that gives me another thing to try.
I downloaded "Bookmarks Organizer". It created an HTML file which I can search through, but I think it is not a complete list of all of my bookmarks. It says I have about 5000 Warnings, and a small number of "Errors". That does not add up to the 10,000 total. It does not say what the warning is. The Error type seems to be links that no longer work. That is useful to know, but the warning sites look normal to me. The instructions were in German, one of the 400 languages I am not fluent in.
How do I uninstall this attachment?
Next I will try out Group Speed Dial.

Hi, uninstall is not easy as it is in your profile. Just disable it. try 1 of the 500 so here : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=bookmark
