    Organizing Bookmarks on FireFox
    I just downloaded the new FireFox and I can't seem to understand how to organize the bookmarks. It wasn't the same as before. Can someone please help me?

    Just click Bookmarks > Organise bookmarks.
    Then simply drag and drop them into the order you want.
    There's a number of built-in organising/sorting options that you can try as well.
    Create folders as needed.

    Hey, Ben!

    Yep! Works for me!

    Thanks!

    I tried to put things in the folders and it won't drop into the folder. It will only drop around it and move the folder.

    Did you click on the Organize Bookmarks?

    Yes.

    Which folder is it that you're trying to organize, please? I don't have a lot of bookmarks in FireFox yet, though.

    The folder that I created. I made a few folders and now can't seem to stick anything in them.

    In what section or sections did you place the new folders?

    Under Bookmark Menu

    There are a number of sections under the Bookmarks menu. Which section or sections was it into which you placed the folders?

    Thanks!

    When you open up your bookmarks to organize them, does a box open up that says in the upper left-hand corner, Library?

    Yes.

    I've been playing around with that some. I don't know everything about it. But, it seems that in some of the folders, I'm not able to move things around.

    Maybe making new folders in another section of the bookmarks might work?

    I tried that, but when I make a folder, that's automatically where it goes. It won't let me make a folder elsewhere. That is my conundrum.

    There is some information on the following site that should be helpful to both of us.

    I'm stuck on #3. There is nothing on the far left that says "bookmarks" and their picture doesn't match what I see. Even after doing what they say to do.

    Did Firefox do something to the newest version to make it stupid? I've never left v. 1.5. :-)
