Don't want to edit/move existing bookmark, want a brand new one in a different folder.

I'd like the identical same bookmark to appear in two different folders (same url, same name, etc). There seems to be no "copy" option in Organize Bookmarks - the bookmark always moves. Saving the bookmark a second time brings up Edit Bookmark - again moving the bookmark if I chose another folder.

I don't want to use tags because you can't nest them and you can't tag a folder. Can anyone help?

Hello Chris.

You will be able to create duplicate bookmarks by dragging the link into the bookmarks manager. That will create a new bookmark, with the link, in the place you drag it into. That is, as far as I know, the only way to create duplicate bookmarks (apart from changing your bookmark into something else, bookmark the page again, and change the old one back into it's original form, that will create duplicates too).

You may be interested to use tags for toolbars though. It's an easier way to group and use bookmarks, and will allow you to have multiple tags per bookmark, which will allow for them to show in different tag folders.

To manage tag folders, simply copy any of them and paste it wherever you want it to be. It's pretty simple.
