Can't move bookmarks from recently bookmarked and delete the original without losing them
When I save bookmarks why can't I put them straight into the folder Iwant them in? The drop-down menu doesn't offer this choice.
When I move items from Recently bookmarked to the folder I want to store them in the bookmark is duplicated in the Recently bookmarked folder. If I remove these two duplicates the bookmark disappears from the correct folder.
I'm not happy! I keep losing bookmarks. I haven't been using Firefox long and there may be something wrong with my set up.
Hope you can help.

- "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
- Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
- Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
- Bookmarks that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
- If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
- If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
- Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
- Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
- If you do not want a specific list then remove that query (right-click: Delete), but do not delete the content that is displayed in such a list.

Hi cor-el
Thanks very much for taking the time to answer this and apologies for being so slow to reply. I see how it works now!
