Visit a page.Click on the star to bookmarks it.It always saves it to "Unsorted Bookmarks".How do I change it to "Bookmarks Toolbar" by default so every time i don't have to double click and change the location? This will save 4 extra steps.I save pages quite often so it's a big teal to me.Is this possible ?

As far as I know, there is not any built-in way to do this. Perhaps an add-on can modify how the "star" works or add a new button for this function?

Until then, you'll have to continue changing the pop-up list:

  • when bookmarking a page, double-click the star, and change "Unsorted Bookmarks" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
  • when bookmarking a page, press Ctrl+d or right-click the page > click the star on the context menu, and change "Bookmarks Menu" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done

Some users like to drag the padlock or globe from the left end of the address bar to the Bookmarks Toolbar, but if you always want the new bookmark added at the end, then this is not efficient.
