I am trying to create a new folder in bookmarks.

The new folder option is greyed out. (Show all bookmarks>organise>New Folder option greyed out.)

Is it still possible to organise bookmarks?

Hello,

Make sure that you are in either the Bookmarks Toolbar folder, Bookmarks Menu folder, or Unsorted Bookmarks folder so that you can create a new folder.

If you are in any of those folders and still cannot create a new folder, do you also have problems creating new bookmarks? If so it could point to a problem with your places.sqlite file.

Either enter about:support in your address bar, or go to:

  • Help (or New Fx Menu > Help-29) > Troubleshooting Information

Beside Profile Folder, click the "Show Folder" button to access the location of the file. Make sure it isn't read only. You can also install the Places Maintenance extension to run maintenance on the file. Please read the following articles first as they provide helpful hints and instructions that may be relevant to you:
