I click on the star to bookmark a page but when I go to find it under Bookmarks it is not there. It does show under "recent bookmarks" in the drop down menu but is not in my permanent bookmarks??

This just started happening after I updated Firefox to 29.0.1 - it was not doing this before and worked fine.

Windows 8

Please help!

  • If you click the ★ Star Icon once, the bookmark ends up in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
  • If you double-click the ★ Star Icon, you get to pick where to place the bookmark.
  • If you press Ctrl+D (Mac: Command+D), the bookmark ends up in the Bookmarks Menu folder and you get to pick where to place it.

The following add-on makes bookmarking easier in various ways. Among other things, it's able to remember the last used folder.

You can open such a bookmark in a tab and click the highlighted star on the Navigation Toolbar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see the location (folder) where the bookmark is stored.
