When I add a new bookmark, it goes to the top of the Bookmarks menu, pushing down the sites that I want there because I visit them most frequently. How can I get new bookmarks to appear at the end of the Bookmarks menu? Thank you.

Chosen solution

Hi Will, new bookmarks should appear at the end of the Other Bookmarks list. If you want them to appear at the end of the Bookmarks Menu itself, you can use an add-on to set that as your default folder for new bookmarks:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-bookmark-folder/

The Library menu only shows the Recently Bookmarked list, which is newest first. Try adding the optional Bookmarks Menu toolbar button that looks like this: . Either:

(A) Use the Customize panel (Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars) to drag the icon to the desired spot on the toolbar

(B) Use the method from Bookmarks in Firefox - section entitled: How do I add the Bookmarks Menu button to the toolbar?

  • Click the "Library" button:
  • Click "Bookmarks"
  • Click "Bookmarking Tools"
  • Click "Add Bookmarks Menu to Toolbar"

Does that menu behave more like you expect?

THAT'S IT!!!

Thank you VERY MUCH, jscher2000.  : )  : )  : )

The "Default Bookmark Folder" icon was already in my search bar, and its app in my list of Extensions. But I had forgotten about them. (duh!) Thanks to you, buddy, my memory was refreshed and, having been so, I was able to do what you prompted me to figure out: navigate to Firefox's "Options", then select: "Extensions", "Default Bookmark Folder", "more" (the 3 horizontal dots), "Options", and from there toggle off "Add new bookmarks to the top of the selected folder." That did it! Problem Solved! Case Closed! Cheers to you, jscher2000!

With MUCH gratitude, Will
