When I choose to bookmark a website, I am no longer offered a chance to save to where I want it saved.

FF 146.0.1. Windows 10 pro

So, now I have to bookmark a page, and open the bookmark menu again to EDIT the bookmark to move it. This is Horrible. I have to do this eachj time I bookmark a page. I am veriy organized and have dozens of bookmark folder, some with folders within folders... etc.

Onliy children need to be treated this way.

I have searched the settings and find nothing. I am not using any add-on that has anything to do with bookmark. I do not use the bookmark toolbars or other bookmark interfaces. Just the file/edit... menu "bookmarks" option.,

Has this ability been removed?

thanks, Agent Virtuel.

Solution number 2, changing the value of config file entry:

  browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks preference to true. 

is the solution. Apparently, a new version, probably 146.0, changed this from it's old value. Thanks, Mozilla for making life more difficiult--as always. Who needs a star icon in the location bar when there is a menu? I guess it's for children.
