When I try to add something to bookmarks, I don't get the list of everything any more, just a short list.

If I try to bookmark a page, all I get to choose from are about 5 items. I have to save the page in one of them and then transfer the page to the proper folder. I used to be able to have a list of everythng.

You can also click the Choose button to open the full folder list. If folders in the list aren't expanded (i.e. are closed) then look for a, possibly faint, arrow icon to expand (open) the folders.

If you ever did see a longer list without clicking a "down arrow", that was a feature which was provided by an extension - not a basic feature in Firefox. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-websites Use one of the down arrow buttons to the right of Folder. See the How do I change the name and location of a bookmark? section for a image.
