How can I make all bookmarks show on the dropdown bookmark tab, instead of having to click the "show all bookmarks" link?

I usually have 12 to 20 bookmarks. I like for them all to be on the list when I click the "Bookmarks" button. Now there are 5 on that dropdown window. To get to the rest I have to click on "Show all bookmarks". That window requires a double click on the bookmark and doesn't close when I go to a bookmark. Is there a way to just have all the bookmarks show on the first dropdown window?

Hi, while you are in Show all Bookmarks, you need to move them all to Bookmarks Menu. You can just drag them, or hold down Ctrl to select them, then right click Cut. Now you can Paste them into Bookmarks Menu.

For ref: When you click on the star, the bookmark, by default, will go into Other Bookmarks (prior to v48 known as Unsorted Bookmarks); however if you wish it to go to Bookmarks Menu, keep your mouse pointer over the dialog box to prevent it from disappearing, then use the small arrow just to the right of Other Bookmarks , to change it to Bookmarks Menu > Done.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!
