I want to be able to dictate where my bookmark is saved

I absolutely preferred to decide where a bookmark was going to be saved! Now it will only allow me to save it where it wants to? I have no issues changing which browser I use. I will change if I can't do simple little things as decide where my bookmark page will be saved.

The various bookmark-related icons were consolidated. The star that turns blue works the same as the old star in the address bar that turned yellow: it instantly saves the current URL to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.

To call up the dialog where you choose a folder, you can use one of these other methods:

  • Ctrl+d
  • right-click the page (avoid links, form fields, images) > Bookmark This Page
  • use the classic menu bar > Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page

If you prefer a toolbar button that works like the old Bookmarks drop-down menu, I think you would need an add-on to modify it.

If you do click the star icon, you can click it again to call up the Edit Bookmark dialog and you can move it where you like.
