I have a list of bookmark folders. When I want to bookmark a page I select "bookmark this page" but not all of my folders are shown. If the folder is not shown I can not get it to be filed in that bookmark folder. How can I get all of my bookmark folders to be shown. When I go to show "all bookmarks" and select "bookmarks menu" all are shown. I am using firefox 8.0.

I have updated to firefox 8.0.1, did not change the problem. When I show all bookmarks I have 11 folders but when I try to bookmark a page only 5 folders are shown not all 11, why?

see the article Bookmarks in Firefox - there's a paragraph on how to pick the folder, where the bookmark is to be stored.

The problem is that not all of my bookmark folders are shown when I want to bookmark a page. They are shown when I "show all bookmarks" Ctrl+Shift+B but not when I want to bookmark a page. The article how to use bookmarks does not solve my problem. The folders are not shown so I can not use them. Why?

You can click the arrow at the far right of the Folder field or click the Choose item to see the full folder list in the Edit This Bookmark dialog.
