Thanks for the reply Jim Hope and Elaine. I must clarify my question more clearly. I was in T'bird 17.3 email but thinking about Firefox, sorry. I know that Chrome and Firefox are both browsers. I dislike the way FIREFOX is now displaying the "Bookmark This Page" when I click on it. In the past it would show the whole list of my Bookmarks Folders. Now its just a short box with only a few listed and wont scroll to all my Bookmark folders. I have clicked and clicked and cant figure out how to get it to display them, before this version of Firefox updated. (I used to click on Bookmark this Page, scroll to the folder I wanted to place it in and click Done) Hope this is a more clear explaination of my question.

When in Firefox, use the control key/B and your entire list of bookmarks will appear. Control key/H will provide you with a history of your surfing.

Jerrie when you click on "Bookmarks" in the toolbar of Firefox it displays all your bookmarks. When you click on "Bookmark this page" you will see a box marked "Folder" you click on the arrow either on the end of that box or the one outside the box and then scroll through all your folders to the one you want. It has been this way for some time now that I know of. Firefox is now basically the standard that everyone else is copying because it works so well so you might just as well get used to it as you will find the same in other browsers as well. I have well over 100 folders and can drop a bookmark into any one of them as I choose. BTW, Firefox is now on version 19.0 On 19/02/2013 6:08 PM, Jerrie wrote: > Thanks for the reply Jim Hope and Elaine.

Hello Jim Hope and Elaine Thanks for responding. I am using Firefox version 19.0 and this is what happens for me following your instructions. 1. At Firefox start page my Bookmarks Toolbar is OPEN at left showing my 100's of Bookmarks. 2. If i am at a web page I want to Bookmark I click on Bookmark this page at the top left. 3. The box appears with Name, Folder, Tags etc. I choose Folder and click on arrow and drop down opens. The box contains Bookmark Toolbar, Unsorted BM, and ONLY about 4 of my OWN Folders. There is no way to scroll to a folder of my choice to place the new web page into the category I want it in. I have many Folders named but I cant get to them this way to place the item in. The Bookmarks Menu is still open on the left. But I cant use this list. 4. In the past I have always been able to SCROLL in this box and put the BM in any Folder I want.
