Hi -

Formerly when I'd click on bookmarks / bookmark this page, the bookmark directory would pop up so I could edit the name and choose its location. Now it automatically saves to the "other" folder and I have to take another step to bring it back up and edit it.

I must've changed a setting but couldn't find it in Preferences. Am I being dim as usual?

Thanks,

Jeff

For anyone nervous about using about:config, when you see the blue star in the address bar, you can click that and then check the box for "Show editor when saving" on the drop-down panel:
