If you click "Bookmarks", "Bookmark this Page", then "Choose", then highlight the required folder and click "OK" it seems to work. (Also, if the folder is visible you don't need to click "Choose" and scroll down to find it - Just highlight the folder and click "OK")

It would be better if the Bookmark dropdown had a slider, like the "Choose" dropdown when adding a link. With several hundred links, the only way to move up and down the list is to hold down the arrow buttons at the top and bottom, and wait while the list slowly trundles past!

Another annoying feature is that after you drag a link into a sub-folder, the dropdown vanishes! I mean, why not just leave it there?

I use http://delicious.com/ but I am not sure tagging URLs is really the best way to organise them.

delicous.com is the absolute best!

I switched to this and could never go back.

"Sorting out" implies more than "sorting", and in fact needn't involve that at all.

Please use correct terminology next time you name your threads.

I know, but the techie question was just in passing, not the primary reason for my post.

Sorting out my Bookmarks

Being benched for now, I decided to spend an hour or so a day categorizing and weeding my vast collection of bookmarks.

(BTW, Firefox's standard Bookmarks drop-down absolutely sucks, and I'd be grateful if anyone can recommend a better add-on.)

I've found quite a few interesting ones I'd forgotten about, and may post a selection like NickFitz (although I may have found many on CUK originally).

Here's quite an interesting one, although it is kind of stating the obvious, and the page formatting sucks almost as much as Firefox's bookmarking:
