That is how the markup work on the forum. It accepts HTML markup and also some internally used markup from older days when we used TikiWiki.

Did you make sure that folders aren't collapsed?

There is a (faint) twisty or drop-down arrow at the far left of a folder in the full tree list that opens if you click "Choose Folder" or use the arrow at the far right of the Folder line that allows to expand or collapse this folder.

My problem is not opening existing bookmarks from the folders in the bookmark menu. My problem is in bookmarking a new page. When I select "choose", not all of my bookmark folders are displayed. I have 21 folders in addition to individual bookmarks which are not in separate folders. I have also noticed, in the bookmarks menu, there is now a different icon for "Other Folders" from folders which I have set up.

I am the question owner. I found the solution. When selecting "choose", select "Bookmarks Menu" then select the folder to which you want the bookmark placed.

I have this problem too. Someone previously solved this for me. Since the latest Firefox update, it's started again: the options for bookmarking show just 5 folders from my bookmarks menu. The solution was simple, but I can't find it. I am pretty sure it was using the down arrows in the bookmarking box, but this no longer works. Help! Clearly the way I use bookmarks does not tally with the way the developers expect me to use bookmarks. I want to: place a bookmark for a new page directly into any of the 20 or so folders I have created in Bookmarks, using first a right click on the page, then a scroll through my folders.

When selecting "choose", select "Bookmarks Menu", click on the "arrow" to the right of it , then select the folder to which you want the bookmark placed. Sorry for the confusion. I left out the part about the arrow when I posted the solution.

Thanks. Your reply made me look even harder, and I got there. I did: right click, star, arrow to the right of Other Bookmarks, Choose ... . Then bingo: it is the funny little symbol to the left of "Bookmarks Menu" - not the right - that does the job and gives the full folder list! But there must be an easier way to get to this, Mozilla.
