Why did you make Bookmarks more difficult?

Bookmarks used to be a simple click and save. Now I have to click, then click again (or hunt it down in random folders) and save. Improvements are supposed to make things easier not add complexity. I know this is a minor thing but I shouldn't have to watch a tutorial to learn how to use bookmarks.

Making a bookmark. On the page you want to bookmark, do a right click in an empty area of the page. From the menu, select Bookmark This Page. Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) D.

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.

How did you previously saved a new bookmark?

The procedure to create a new bookmark hasn't changed, only the star to bookmark the current tab to the unsorted folder has been moved out of the location bar container and is now a separate button on the Navigation Toolbar.

In current Firefox releases (29 and later), that have have the Australis user interface, the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden
A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar

  • There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.
    You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
  • If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
  • You can make the the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window

It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.
