All bookmarks are saved in Unsorted Bookmarks. Previously, I had the option of saving bookmarks to a directory of choice. Can I reinstall this option?

I save bookmarks to a file where I organise them into directories and sub-directories. Previously, I had the option of saving bookmarks to a location of choice within this directory framework. Currently, however, all saved bookmarks are stored by default in 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. This requires manually moving each new bookmark and assigning to a preferred location within the directory framework. Can I create an option whereby I over-ride this default and save bookmarks to individual folders within my directory framework

Hi ptrfarrell,

How are you saving your bookmarks? If you hit the star button in the address bar, it will be saved as unsorted. You should try either hitting the star a second time or using CTRL + D to bookmark a site. That will give you the option to pick a folder when you bookmark it.

Hopefully this helps!
