online inquiry results say to use the "display your bookmarks" icon, then select "create folder". when I do this, there is no "create folder" option to choose. so, how do i create a new folder?

Chosen solution

Once you've been to display your bookmarks dialog box, select "show bookmarks toolbar". It should list all your bookmarks. Right click in the blank area of the list, you should have the option :"open", "open in a new tab", "new bookmark" ," new folder"

thanks

See:

There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.

  • The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
  • The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
  • The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
