Firefox, Bookmarks and the drop-down menu when bookmarking
Am using latest FF (3.6.13) with Maverick - everything up-to-date with
latest upgrades done some hours ago. One thing which has been bugging me for a while is that the drop-down menu - the menu which allowed you to specify into which folder you wanted the bookmarked page to go - has suddenly disappeared and now all bookmarked pages are added to the end of list of bookmarks. I cannot find anything actually covering this development on the Mozilla site nor when googling. Does anyone know why this bookmark hassle has come about and how to resolve it?

I am using 3.6.13 on Maverick (up to date) and, if I understand you, do not see this. When I click Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page I get a dialog that allows me to enter the Name, Folder and Tags. You could try when logged on as a different user to identify whether it is something messed up in your FF profile.

But where? :'( Or do I start from scratch and then copy over the bookmarks (and whatever) into the new profile?

Have a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager for how to make a new profile and import stuff from the old one, though I have not done it personally.

Colin Thanks Colin, had a look but unfortunately nothing there which is of any real use. Instead of simply fiddling with one file or even a parameter looks like transferring the Bookmarks to the newly created profile, taking a note of the all the passwords now used on various sites, taking a note of the Extensions and Plugins and installing them when FF is started under the new profile :-( . No big deal of course, just annoying. BC -- "To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge."
