I want to know how I can clear the Folder drop down list. It always shows the latest 5 bookmark folders I used when bookmarking sites besides the standard Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, Unsorted Bookmarks en Choose options.

When I want to add a bookmark abd I click on BOOKMARKS--> BOOKMARK THIS PAGE a window pops up. In this window there is a FOLDER option with a drop down button. When I click on this drop down button, I always see the latest 5 bookmark folders I used when bookmarking sites besides the standard Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, Unsorted Bookmarks en Choose options.

I want to know if there is a method to clear this so only the standard Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, Unsorted Bookmarks en Choose options are shown.

My issue here is similar in that I want better control of the drop-down list, but most of the time, I'd like to be able to see whatever I want in the list - typically perhaps 20 or 30 folders, so I don't have to waste time with 'Choose' if the folder I want isn't in 'the latest 5'. I mean, why 5? Why only 5? Seems arbitrary and certainly restrictive.

Also, to have all this come up *as part* of the first little black pop-up window instead of making me click on 'Bookmarks Menu" before the 5 (or 20-30;-) folders come up *and* as soon as I pick a folder, have it update so I don't need to press the "Done" button. Condense 5-6 clicks/scrolls, etc. to 2 clicks... 1 to get the pop-up and 1 to pick the folder/update/close the pop-up!
