How do I easily access bookmarks in subfolders?
I am a former IE user and have been using Firefox for a couple of months. I imported all my IE favorites so I could use them as Firefox bookmarks. I have all my bookmarks organized into folders and sub-folders. Some are 4 or 5 layers deep. I've been finding it awkward to access these deep bookmarks in Firefox. With IE, I was able to click on each subfolder in the Favorites menu and it would "lock in" as I continued to dig down into the Favorites subfolders. With Firefox, it seems I have to be very careful with the mouse or else I loose my selection part way through and i have to start all over again. It's the only thing I don't like about Firefox and it's driving me nuts. I'm hoping that there is some technique or trick that I am missing.

If you have a wide-screen display, you could try using the Bookmarks sidebar (open/close using Ctrl+b, unless the page intercepts that keystroke, in which case you can use Alt+v > Sidebar > Bookmarks).
I don't know whether there are any settings or add-ons to make a folder stick open when you click it. If not, that's a good idea.
