Adding a webpage to Favorites

[Gloria E]

There's one thing I dislike about using Firefox. I cannot find how to add a web page to bookmarks. I've searched Google and on Firefox itself and found nothing that made sense to me. I want to add my new homepage to the folder Media but i find that impossible.

All I want is just a simple go here and do this, can some of you brilliant people help me with this simple task?

Double click the little star at the right hand side of the box where you type URL's

Then click the little arrow that lets you select a target folder, select a folder, and click Done

I want to add my new homepage...

If it is your true 'Homepage'. you don't really need to bookmark it - just click on the 'Home' icon in your toolbar...

Thanks Stuart, I'm going to try your solution and Stuart's too. One of them should work.

My thanks again to both of you.

There's one thing I dislike about using Firefox. I cannot find how to add a web page to bookmarks.

All the other posts notwithstanding, unless I'm completely misunderstanding your question, just drag the icon for the web page to Bookmarks and navigate to the place where you want it, then drop it.

Maybe I'm reading your question wrong, but adding a web page to the bookmarks in Firefox is as simple as clicking the Bookmarks menu option (in the line below the title bar for the page you're viewing) then clicking Bookmark this page in the drop down menu then clicking Done in the Page Bookmarked panel.

You can use the page name suggested or type in your own. You can also choose what folder to put the page in and add tags to it in the Page Bookmarked panel.

There's one thing wrong with doing as you suggest and that is, I can't find the folders to add it too. I don't get a list of folders and that's what this post is all about.

Sheesh, I don't understand what happens to YOU, Gloria, when you try to drag as I suggested. A screenshot would help. What DO you see when you drag a page icon to the Bookmarks entry? Do you not get a flyout like this?

If Gloria has never been able to create a bookmark in FF then she wont have a bookmark folder struccture to navigate.

In which case, Gloria can use the 'Organise Bookmarks' option on the Bookmarks menu to do what it says.

Hooray This solves the issue, I followed the directions and at the end I selected:Bookmark Menu and a list of the bookmark folders appeared.

Thank you Ken.

In both IE and FF, keyboard shortcut "Control-D" saves favorites. But where in IE Ctrl-D just adds the URL to the root favorites list, in FF it brings up a dialog box within which you select the target Folder. Play with that feature and see if you like it; it's my preferred method.

Thanks friend, I sure will try your method for FF, there's no problem with IE favorites. IE and FF are almost as different as Win XP and Win 7, I guess the old saying that you can't teach an old dog new tricks applies to me for sure.
