It used to be than when I selected BOOKMARKS - BOOKMARK THIS PAGE a dialog box would drop down and I could choose where I wanted the bookmark stored. Now the dialog box does not open, Firefox just goes ahead and stores the bookmark where it wants to and I have to find it and move it to where I want it. How do I fix this?

Does Firefox still save the bookmark and display a blue star in the address bar? If so, go ahead and click the star, and look for a checkbox on the drop-down panel to "Show Editor when saving":

Does that work on yours?
