How do I change the default from Bookmarks/Bookmark this page/Bookmark menu to bookmark toolbar

When I click on Bookmarks/bookmark This Page the next option is Bookmarks Menu and I have to click on the down arrow before I can select bookmark toolbar.

I use the tool bar exclusively and want to change the order so that after I click on Book Mark This Page the default option is Bookmark Toolbar.

That should be simple I would think. I have 14 folders across the top of my screen and clicking the address bar and dragging into a folder doesn't work well for me as the link ends up in the wrong folder 99% of the time and then I have to go searching for it.

So I want the sequence to be:Bookmarks/Bookmark this page/bookmarks toolbar. Thanks

That Addon no longer works (58.0b4 (64-bit))

I just don't understand why Firefox suddenly decided to change the default save area (now 'Other Bookmarks' as opposed to Bookmark Menu) without at least giving us, the users, an option to revert? Did Microsoft just purchase Mozilla, because this is Type-A M/Soft BS.?

Easiest would be to drag the tab to the Bookmarks Toolbar or to a folder on this bar to add this bookmarks and avoid editing the folder location.

I notice that you marked my above reply as unhelpful.

If you use the edit this bookmark dialog then I don't think it will be easier to move the bookmark to a specific folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar than dragging tab or URL from the location bar. To move the bookmark to a specific folder you would have to click the "Choose" line and locate this specific folder unless you have used it before and it is one of the choices that are offered.

It is not possible to change the order of the suggested folders in this dialog as far as I know. The extension I mentioned above is probably the only extension that would be helpful for this dialog.
