When bookmarking site to New Folder ... FF creates "New Folder"??

1) Want to Bookmark a webpage to a new folder (while on that webpage)

2) After clicking Bookmark Star ("Bookmark this page") and then clicking on "New Folder" button, FF briefly highlights the higher level folder name, and then literally creates a new Folder, which it automatically names "New Folder"

3) OK so far ... except FF no longer opens a dialogue box, inviting me to Rename this "New Folder"; Only option, it seems, is to allow FF to create/name this "New Folder" and add webpage to it.

4) This then necessitates opening "Show All Bookmarks" console, locating and re-naming newly-created "New Folder"

5) Rather clunky, time-consuming & user unfriendly IMO.

6) WHAT am I missing here? Surely must be some simple thing I'm overlooking.

Thanks.
