I used to be able to use the Bookmarks pull-down menu and click Bookmark this page Crtl-D and I could pick which folder I wanted to same my bookmark in. Also I could click on the start for a bookmarked page and edit it. Now, neither feature works. It only saves mu bookmark in the unsorted area and I have to manually move it to the folder I want. I believe this problem started after my last upgrade.

I am using Firefox 3.6.12

This issue can be caused by the McAfee SiteAdvisor.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you! I disabled the McAfee plug-in and it now works like it used to. I'll switch back to the default settings next.
