Hello, When i bookmark a page it bookmarkes in under unsorted bookmark. I have to go to history file highlight all the bookmarks then send it to the main bookmark location. It never use to do this. Is there and where do i go to change this option so when I save it will just go to bookmark location.

Thank you John

Hi, if you click on the star once, the bookmark will go into Unsorted Bookmarks. However if you wish the bookmark to go to a different destination, you should click on the star twice, then in the dialog box, use the upper, downward pointing arrow on the far right, to select a destination > Done.

Just to be sure that you understand how it works:

  • Clicking the star on the Navigation toolbar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns blue to show that
  • Bookmarks > "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that)
  • "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu in the browsing area or via the Bookmarks menu in the Firefox menu button drop down or menu bar (Alt+B)
  • If the URL in the current tab is bookmarked and the star is highlighted blue then click this highlighted star or use "Bookmark This Page/Edit This Bookmark" (Ctrl+D) to edit the properties of the bookmark like name and location and move the bookmark to another folder or remove the bookmark

You can look at this extension:
