I would like to have a series of bookmark categories in the bookmarks toolbar. Let's say one button called "Household" might have as a drop down menu links to my favorite sites for " Home Repair," "Cooking," "Furniture Refinishing" , etc.

And perhaps another button could be labeled "Science" and its dropdown might contain links to "Environment," "Medicine," "Space," "Geology," Etc.

And to be really neat, each subcategory could have subcategories under them.

Chosen solution

Create nested folders (folders within folders) on the Bookmarks Toolbar. You can also do the same in the Bookmarks Menu instead of on the Bookmarks Toolbar.

  1. Right-click on the Bookmarks toolbar and choose "New Folder"; name that folder Household
  2. Right-click on the Household folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar for each sub-folder that you want under Household and choose "New Folder"; name those folders (i.e., Home Repair, Cooking, Furniture Refinishing , etc.)
  3. Drag or create bookmarks in each of those sub-folders appropriate to the the sub-folder name(s).

Repeat the above for other folder/sub-folders (i.e., Science folder with sub-folders Environment, Medicine, Space, Geology, etc.).

hello, yes you can do that - just put your bookmarks on the toolbar into folders: Use bookmark folders to organize your bookmarks
