How do I save a bookmark in mutible folders ?

more options

I would like to save a web page in more than one bookmark. However when I try to save it in one folder then try to save it in another folder the first one is deleted. Example is : I save this site (www.extremeoverclocking.com) in a folder named "overclocking" but would also like to save it in a folder named "Pc Help". However when I try to save it in the 2nd place then it is auto-deleted from the 1st folder. I would like to save it in multiple locations due to the valuable help you can obtain from it without trying to figure out where you saved it to.

Hi discboy321

To add a bookmark to multiple folders, you have to copy and paste the bookmark. To do this, bookmark a page like you normally would. Then press ctrl + B. Find the bookmark you want to place in another folder, right click on it then click copy. Then find the other folder where you want the bookmark to be placed, right click on it and click paste. The bookmark should then appear in both folders.

You can open the Bookmarks Sidebar and drag the Site Identity Button with the left mouse button to the folder in the Bookmarks Sidebar. With this method you can have the same Bookmark in several folders.

Site Identity Button:

Additional info when dragging to the Bookmarks Sidebar:

  • Highlight the Folder and drop or highlight and rest 1-2 seconds on the folder and it will expand
  • Underline will show within expanded folder and drop to that position; works the same if not within a folder

To locate those duplicate Bookmarks and their folders, you might need this Add-on to search in the Library window (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks)
