Is there a way to select and move many bookmarks at once?

I imported about 1400 bookmarks and they (automatically?) showed up under the "Bookmarks Menu." Working in the Bookmarks sidebar, I want to move all 1400 to a folder I created, but there seems to be no way to move more than one at a time. The highlight-move pointer-shift and click method of selecting multiple bookmarks no longer works as it did in the "Organize Bookmarks" option in previous FF versions.

It is best to use Cut and Paste to move such a large amount of bookmarks.
You can do that best in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks

You can either select a folder or use Shift and Ctrl + End or Shift and Page Down to select multiple bookmarks.
