That’s my question. I have Foders left over from an older version, but I can’t figure out how to do it now. I have XP and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 ---

I just right-click on the email account name in the left hand column. The drop-down menu has a new folder option. ---

I’m still using 1.5, but I can’t imagine they’ve changed this, right click in the bookmarks pane and select _New Folder_. That should bring up a window asking you to name the new folder. CMC +fnord! There is also the long way going through _Manage Bookmarks_ too. ---

Open Firefox, click **Bookmarks** from the main menu, choose **Organize Bookmarks** from the drop-down menu.\*\* Click a level \*\*where you want the folder to be created. **Right click** somewhere in the **right field** , choose **New Folder…** ---

Choose “Organize Bookmarks” from the “Bookmarks” menu. In the resulting Bookmarks window there is a button for new folders in the tool bar at the top or choose “New Folder” from the “File” menu. ---

By the way, possibly the most useful Firefox add-on (and a feature I think should be standard), is the “Add Bookmark Here” one. At the bottom of a list of bookmarks in any folder, you’ll find “Add bookmark here,” which will add the current page to the sub-folder you’re in without having to manually do it. ---

At the bottom of a list of bookmarks in any folder, you’ll find “Add bookmark here,” which will add the current page to the sub-folder you’re in without having to manually do it. If you have tabs turned on (which is the best way to go anyway), you can just drag your tab to the location where you want the bookmark, that’s even easier.
