Bookmarking in Firefox 3.6 seems to be completely haphazard compared with IE - how do you do it??

With Internet Explorer bookmarking pages is simple and intuitive, even when it is a matter of "organizing" the structure. With Firefox 3.6 I suppose there is a way but it defeats me. Pages seem to get lost and (sometime) reappear without logic. Why can't Firefox just duplicate the IE system instead of trying to be different and complicate things? Is there a guide to the secrets of Firefox bookmarking?

See these support articles, or search for articles about Firefox 3.0+ Bookmarks - there have been a lot of articles written by web journalists about this topic over the past couple of years.

IMO, the last place to "work with" your bookmarks is the Organize Bookmarks / Library window, unless you are using the "Tags" feature. You're better off using the Bookmarks Sidebar as shown in the two support.mozilla.com articles that I hyperlinked.
