This question here describes how to find the total number of items in Firefox's Bookmarks menu, with the caveat that it only counts folders and files in the top-level directory - meaning that folders containing other files or folders will be counted as single items, resulting in a skewed bookmark count when you rely on folders to keep your bookmarks organised.
There are third-party Add-ons such as Total Bookmarks and Bookmarks Manager and Viewer that allow you to manage bookmarks, and probably offer more accurate bookmark counts as part of their functionality, but having to use a non-native Add-on for such a simple feature seems like a waste of resources, and I'd rather avoid it if I can.
As of Firefox 52.0.2, is there a native way to view a count of all bookmarks?
Answer
Actually, yes, you can.
Thanks to this Mozillazine article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Counts_-_Counting_bookmarks_history_links_and_other_data_-_Firefox
Open the Bookmarks library by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-B, then place ":" in the Search field to return all bookmarks.
You can now press CTRL-A to get the total count.
