In Firefox 60, after clicking on "bookmarks" I am offered the option to "choose" a folder, but only a few, and if I attempt to choose one of those the result is nothing but blank space - no folders to choose from. I can find no way to add a bookmark to the existing folders. Additionally, when I select "add new folder" there are no existing folders.

How can I add new bookmarks to existing folders? That used to be really easy to do.

I tried attaching a screen print of the result of "choose" but apparently a docx file is not supported.

Thank you very much cor-el! That has worked a treat. Not sure why it collapsed but I'm glad you noticed the problem. It works now without having to use the arrow. Thanks again! Best Regards,

I have the same problem! After clicking on Choose, all i get is like the second picture. None of my folders showing. Best regards,

This is getting silly! All this time and not a solution/reply from those that matter. Support on the top of the page is a joke.

Hi g0tch

I can clearly see the faint twisty (right pointing arrow) at the far left in the second screenshot that indicate that the Bookmarks Menu folder and Other Bookmarks folder are collapsed. You need to click these icons to expand the folders.
