Update: Advanced Users can just right click on the Bookmarks toolbar, select ‘New Folder’ and viola you’re set. Now just drag and drop, everybody else new to Firefox read on…

Now, everybody knows how to make Bookmarks, if you don’t well read on anyway.

So Firefox has some really cool ways to manage your bookmarks you can categorise them, give them keywords for a one word access from your address bar and write descriptions about them so you know what the heck you’re looking at after you bookmark something and forget about it for 6 months, all agree say Aye!

But…Did you know that you can increase your bookmarking productivity by like a million with a simple thing I just discovered. I don’t know if this has been written anywhere else so I will anyway.

Now in your Bookmarks you have all these folders like this…

You can move those folders to be part of the Bookmarks Toolbar itself and have them drop down and show all your bookmarks from like right there on your browser, here’s how…

1. Click Bookmarks
2. Open Manage Bookmarks

3. For the example here we’ll use the photoshop Folder, you can use anything else.
4. Now simply just drag that folder into your Bookmarks Toolbar Folder

5. Rearrange it as you need, like above example. You can also add Folders within those folders to further categorise.
6. You’re done, have a look at your Bookmarks Toolbar now.

Enjoy!
