Firefox bookmarks
This is likely a basic question but it's driving me nuts. I'm using FF 45.0.1. I can't figure out how to put a new bookmark into an existing bookmark category. For example I have category or ...

My monitor is plenty wide, so I have FF set to keep an open section (sidebar) on the left side with the list of bookmarks. To bookmark a webpage, it's simple:
I move cursor arrow to the tab of the page I want to bookmark
I hold the left mouse button down
I move the mouse, dragging the tab to whatever folder I want it in, and
release the button. There it is now, in the folder.
Now, if you don't know how to make the bookmarks sidebar appear, here you go. Click on the icon to the right of the star... the icon for "show your bookmarks". When the drop-down menu appears, the first thing at the top should be "view bookmarks sidebar". Click it. Sidebar appears!

My point exactly..
You cannot move your Favorites into folders directly from the drop down Bookmarks menu.. That must be done in the Bookmarks SIDEBAR which is not easy for most folks to find now days.
In older versions of FF you HAD a ONE CLICK Favorites Side bar button which you could place on the favorites Tool Bar.
Newer versions of FF that button is no longer available to add to the tool bar.
Instead you now must perform at least a min of TWO different mouse clicks (think of it as two separate "operations") just to get the Favorites side bar to show up.
On top of that the only place you can get the side bar is to move your mouse to the right hand side of the screen which is far away from your navigation buttons on the LEFT side of the screen.
The result is you spend more time going back and forth across the screen..
Just one of the many "Innovations" that someone thought was better and not to mention following MS in their convoluted stupidity with their IE browser.
Since I work in a manufacturing environment I am used to always finding more efficient ways of doing things.. More mouse clicks, keystrokes and mouse movements = less efficiency = less work done = less productivity.
The good news is you CAN bring back many of the things that you have lost by using the addon Classic Theme Restorer.
