I just purchased a new computer. I am trying to restore my browser bookmarks. I followed the steps to create bookmark folders. I clicked on the bookmarks icon, scrolled down to the "show all bookmarks" link thus opening the "Library" window. I then created the folders I wanted under "Bookmarks Menu" but they do not appear in the bookmarks listing.

Where are you right-clicking?

It sounds that you right-click in the folder area that shows some selected folder (root folders and some last used folders). You can right-click in the folder area and you can't right-click in the tree list that opens if you click the second arrow, but the tree area has a button to create a new folder.

See "How do I change the name or location of a bookmark?"

Quote: but they do not appear in the bookmarks listing. What bookmarks listing are you referring to ?

Finally I got the right answer under: How do I add the Bookmarks Menu button to the toolbar?

Thank you!!
