How do I bookmark web pages to folders I've created (other than dragging from unsorted folder)?

Can I bookmark to a particular folder directly (as in Internet Explorer), or is it a two-step process (involving dragging bookmark from unsorted folder)?

  • If you click the star in the location bar then the page will be bookmarked in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.
  • You can see the Unsorted Bookmarks folder in the sidebar and the Library, but not in the Bookmarks menu.
  • If you use "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) then the bookmark will go to the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that).
  • If the URL in the location bar is bookmarked (star at the right end is yellow/blue) then you can click the star or use the Bookmark menu item (Bookmark This Page, Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark (name, location, folder) and move it to another folder or remove the bookmark.
  • You can click the star at the right end of the location bar once to bookmark the current site and click the highlighted star a second time to open the "Edit This Bookmark" window and move the bookmark to another folder or edit the name.
  • You can click the Remove button in the "Edit This Bookmark" window to remove a bookmark.
  • You can click the arrow at the far right of the Folder field in the "Edit This Bookmark" window to access the complete folder list. That full folder list also opens if you click the drop marker in the Folder field and select the "Choose" item. That window also has a button to create a "New Folder" (look for a button with "New Folder" or a "+" under the folder list).
