is there a bookmark manager like jabref for linux url bookmarks?

I use Jabref for papers and books. I group and rate them and keep track of reading status. There are a lot of websites that also provide valuable information but firefox’ bookmark manager can’t be used to rate sites or make comments. I can manually add links which is cumbersome.

Is there a similar tool like jabref for internet links?

In the optimal case it would take firefox’ bookmarks and work with them such that I can bookmark a site with Ctrl+D and do all the site related work within that manager.

edit: Bonus, if it automatically fetches the article to preserve it

    Thank you! I’ll check it out later again. I’ll try using distrobox or nix

    edit: I installed firefox and jabref with nix and it works out of the box. I didn’t have to adjust anything, yet the extensions loads very long sometimes. Sometimes it can’t find anything.

      I’m not familiar with jabref, so I probably shouldn’t stick my oar in here. But I will anyway. I’ve written my own python script that I use for lists like Web bookmarks. It’s a poor man’s database manager, so you can add attributes to bookmark entries and sort and search on those attributes.

        I will check it out and report back, thx!

        Tbo, I wonder why I don’t simply use a csv or wysiwyg markdown table. In the end jabref provides a table view of a list which could be converted. I either use this or yours, so thank you very much in advance!
