Hi jjlarkin, you should be able to expand the folder list box to show subfolders by clicking the little triangle to the left of the folder names. Then you can save or move the currently bookmarked page there. Some users have difficulty with the triangles due to low color contrast in their theme, but the triangles should be there.

Are you saying that I have to use the "new" bookmark method to create a bookmark, then find that bookmark, and drag that into my old bookmark structure? Does that even work?

I can open my old structure with the star-in-a-tub symbol, but I can't add a new bookmark once I get there. The new bookmark thing can't see my old structure, which took years to build.

The old bookmark thing made sense and worked fine. I wonder why they broke it.

Can you make a screenshot of this star-in-a-tub that you're talking about? I haven't seen anything like that in Firefox, so maybe that's some extension?

Also, there's a good answer with information on how to use the Bookmark Library in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1174792

If your bookmark library is not showing you the bookmarks that you are expecting, I'd bet you've got an extension doing stuff.

How do you normally save a bookmark? If you click the "star" icon in the address bar (next to •••), or right-click the page and click the star icon on the context menu, or press Ctrl+d, all of those methods should drop the panel I posted earlier with the folder selection option.

You also can drag the padlock or "i-in-a-circle: from the left end of the address bar over to the Bookmarks Menu toolbar button and hover until it expands, then mouse down to where you want to drop it. I don't know if that would be faster than using the Page Bookmarked/Edit Bookmark dialog. You certainly can try it.

I think the poster means the optional Bookmarks Menu button:

To add that button, either:

(A) Use the Customize panel (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars) to drag the icon to the desired spot on the toolbar

(B) Use the method from Bookmarks in Firefox - section entitled: How do I add the Bookmarks Menu button to the toolbar?

• Click the "Library" button:
• Click "Bookmarks"
• Click "Bookmarking Tools"
• Click "Add Bookmarks Menu to Toolbar"
