incomplete list of bookmarks in right click menu
Recently, when I attempt to bookmark a web page, I right click, then click on the star at the top right of the menu which brings up the bookmark menu. When I click on "choose" only a few of the more than thirty bookmark folders I have appear. After clicking on everything in the menu to no avail, I then have to manually drag and drop the bookmark into the correct folder. I saw a few similar problems when I searched the forum but most "fixes" were far more complicated than my "drag & drop" solution.
Am I missing something obvious?

Repeat those actions. As to what folder, if you don't see the folder you want, press the arrow at the far right to bring up the full folder listing.

I was clicking on the smaller triangle in the folder bar which brings down the incomplete list. When I clicked on the down arrow to the far right the full menu appeared. Doing that apparently also enabled (?) the complete menu to drop down when I click "choose". How on earth did I disable that in the first place?
Slightly off subject... why does every new update seem to look simpler, yet actually seem more complicated. For instance, I prefer the left "pinned" bookmarks list, but a recent update made the toolbars etc. look simpler, yet added at least one extra click to get to that menu.
Anyway, thanks for the info. Now if I can just remember all that next time it happens.

That is the way the bookmark window works. When opened, it will only show those folders that you worked on, not all of them.

Mozilla giveth, and later Mozilla taketh away.
They have done many things to Firefox over the years. Sometimes what they added, or removed, got many user up in arms.
