Hi Pandreasen, do you mean the panel that drops from the blue star and lets you change from the Other Bookmarks folder to a different one when saving a bookmark?

Possibly the editor was turned off. Could you click the blue star on a bookmarked page and turn it back on using the checkbox indicated in this screenshot:

<center></center>

Does that fix it?

If you want to change the default new bookmark save location from Other Bookmarks to a different folder, you can use this add-on:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-bookmark-folder/

After installation, you'll need to go to its Options screen to choose your preferred folder.
