I accidentally deselected the Bookmark Editor and want to get it back. How can I?

When creating a bookmark, I unchecked the "show bookmark editor" box, which was a big mistake. (I didn't know what the bookmark editor was but thought I didn't want or need it, but I was wrong.) Now, when I type Ctrl+D to save a bookmark, it simply saves it and doesn't give me any options on which folders to save it in, what to name it, etc. Apparently that's what the bookmark editor allows you to do! Now, I can't figure out how to once again have the bookmark editor shown every time I save a bookmark.

Anyone know? Thanks!
