At this point I have no bookmarks or folders in Foxfire or Safari. I started with Foxfire and could find no way to create folders for bookmarks. I tried the "Show all bookmarks" under the "Bookmarks" menu and then hold down "Control" while touching the "Bookmarks Menu" and got nothing related to creating a folder.

Should I start with Safari and then import them to Foxfire? There has to be a better and more direct way to reach my goal.

You can create as bookmark folder in the Library (Bookmarks Manager) via the right-click context menu (right pane) or the Organize button the toolbar in the Library.

  • Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks

You can create new folders and new bookmarks in the three main folders ("Bookmarks Toolbar","Bookmarks Menu","Unsorted Bookmarks") or their sub folders, but you can not create a new folder at the root level ("All Bookmarks").

Thanks. Pointing out what was obvious that I missed made the difference.
