choose folder destination for new bookmark (can't anymore)
How do I select the folder destination for new bookmarks? Used to be able to designate which folder, add tags, etc. from a window that appeared when I added a bookmark. Now they are just added, unsorted, in the order I bookmark them.

Inappropriate?Hey Lala,
How are you adding new bookmarks? There are three different ways to add bookmarks in Firefox. Do you have other add-ons installed besides Xmarks?
Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I add them by using "bookmarks" in toolbar, then clicking on "Bookmark this page". A little more info: when I go to "organize bookmarks", no unsorted bookmarks show at all ("unsorted" meaning, recently added by me, but not in a folder yet--not that starred "unsorted bookmarks" thing that confuses everybody). I can access them from the drop-down "bookmarks" window on toolbar, but none of them show in "organize".
Yes, I've got all kinds of other add-ons--who can resist? AdBlock, BetterGmail2, Colorful Tabs, Gmail Manager...there's more. -
Inappropriate?Hey Lala,
Thanks for the update. I've never seen this type of behavior before. In "organize bookmarks" if you click the "Bookmarks Menu" on the left side, do all your bookmarks display? -
Inappropriate?No, that's what I'm saying. Any bookmarks I've added (since I switched from Foxmarks to Xmarks) ONLY show in the drop-down Bookmarks menu. They don't show at all when I go to "Organize bookmarks". And there is no longer a window that lets me choose which folder to put them in, or add tags, etc. when I'm adding a bookmark. It just adds them to the bottom of the list. Can I go back to Foxmarks?

Inappropriate?Hey lala,
It sounds like your Firefox Profile is corrupted. To create a new profile, follow the directions listed here:

You'll have to install all your add-ons again. With multiple add-ons sometimes it'll increase the risk of corrupting your profile. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks1 Comment

Do I need to kill my original profile, or just ADD a new one? -
Inappropriate?I deleted my profile, restarted, created a new profile, it's still up to its old tricks. ALL bookmarks show from drop-down "bookmarks" on toolbar, NO new ones show when in "Organize bookmarks".
Ack! -
Inappropriate?If you click on "Bookmarks Menu" in the sidebar when in the Bookmark Organizer, do you see your bookmarks there? Firefox 3 reorganized the Organizer slightly from Firefox 2, so I wonder if perhaps it's just a confusing interface.
I'd be interested to see a screenshot, too, just to be sure.
Xmarks does make some slight changes to the bookmark organizer in Firefox, so it's possible that our extension is causing some problems for you, though it's nothing I've ever seen before. If you uninstall Xmarks from Firefox, does that fix anything? -
Inappropriate?Oh, for Pete's sake! There they all are! I was confused between "All Bookmarks", "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder", "Bookmarks", and then, at the bottom of the sidebar in the organizer, "Unsorted Bookmarks" (silly me)...but YAY! They are all there! THANK YOU!
I’m relieved!
