When trying to bookmark a page the bookmarks menu only shows the first 5 folders. I have tried to drag the window to see more, but to no avail. How can I expand the bookmarks menu to see all my folders?

The only way I can bookmark anything in other than the 5 shown folders is to open a new folder which then reveals the full menu and scroll to find the folder I want. Then I have to delete the "New Folder".

In the Page Bookmarked dialog, to the extreme right of the Folder: line hit the "down-mark" button, you should get a larger view of your folders that has a scroll bar so you can select any of your folders.

If you aren't using the Default Theme, that "Page Bookmarked" window might have been changed by the Theme.

This is a widespread problem with Firefox. I am surprised there is no solution yet!! I have reduced the usage of Firefox because of this. However when I do have a page I wish to be bookmarked I copy the link, open it in Internet Explorer and save it in Favorites there. Hope Firefox will have a solution to this issue.
