Want to delete some bookmark folders in firefox. Using Windows 10 and the delete/cut selection is ghosted. Have to make bookmarks simple for my non-computer understanding wife. She needs to bookmark a site and not have to find or select a folder to save it to or recall it from. Simple is best. Thank you. enkaure

When you bookmark a link, it is automatically saved in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder. Have the wife tell you she created a new bookmark, and then you can move it to the proper folder.

On the page you want to bookmark, do a right-click in an empty area of the page. At the top of the menu, press the Star. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) D.

Or, Press the bookmarks Star on the toolbar.

This will place a bookmark in the Unsorted Bookmarks Folder. To edit or move that bookmark, press the Star again.

A window will come up with the name of the page and its web address. You can edit these entries.

Next, select what bookmarks folder you want this bookmark in. If you do not see that folder, go to the far right of the Folder line, and press the down arrow. You can also create a new folder.
