My folders aren't showing up in my bookmark list or the drop down menu when I bookmark a site. Please advise!

I just created a bunch of folders to organize my bookmarks. When I try to bookmark a page and put it in the appropriate folder, none of my folders appear in the drop-down menu. Thanks for any advice you can provide. ~cayugakate

Chosen solution

Did you create that folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder?

If the folder is created in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder then you won't see it in the Bookmarks menu.

Yes, it's in the regular Bookmarks menu, and now I found them in the Bookmarks list (all the way at the bottom- is there a way to move them all at once, or only individually?), but they're still not showing up as folder options when I bookmark a new page.

Turns out they were showing up, just all the way at the bottom of my list of bookmarks. I just couldn't see them. If you go to "Bookmarks"->"Organize Bookmarks" and then play around in there with highlighting on "Bookmarks Menu" you should be able to figure it out. Otherwise you just have to move them up to the top individually. Hope that helps! ~Kate

Sorry... that wasn't clear. I meant to say... and then play around in there while highlighting on "Bookmarks Menu" while creating a new folder. It should then show up in your list near where you highlighted. That part was kinda crucial :- )
