TIA I'm up to 12,000 bookmarks these days, and have never had a problem moving large folders of bookmarks around using Bookmark Manager. I have maybe 15 first-level folders, with lots of subfolders within each. With that kind of organization, I can easily see the big-picture folder structure, and still have plenty of room on the screen to drill down within a couple of first-level folders at the same time while reorganizing the subfolders and individual bookmarks. Ohhh you WELL organized soul. That is my goal. What I have is an ad hoc collection of POORLY organized bookmarks. Some in logically nested collections. Many just scattered loose. Some may date back to Netscape days. As you observed, once there is a logically organized set of folders there is no problem moving folders or sub-folders to a new location in the tree. That's what prompted my post ;/ As an interim solution, is there a way of printing/displaying only folder titles while displaying their logical tree structure? Thank you. My bookmarks date back that far too! Since bookmarks go out of date so quickly, I never bothered organizing them much until I discovered the ability to sync bookmarks between my computers. Access to my bookmarks from anywhere suddenly made the organizational effort worthwhile. Something has changed recently with Bookmark Manager (besides now being called 'Library'). Before, the left pane showed folder title for top-level folders, plus subfolder titles if you clicked the '>' icon, plus unsorted bookmarks at the bottom. Now the unsorted bookmarks only appear in the right pane. But either way, with two panes, you can expose as much of your subfolder structure as there is space on your monitor in either the left or right pane. This might not help much on a laptop screen, but it's really great on a large monitor, and even better with multiple monitors! The real key to being a well-organized soul is first establishing a limited number of first-tier folders that work for YOU, before worrying too much about subfolders. (I give this patient advice to my long-suffering spouse, to little avail -- at heart she's as compulsively organized as I am, but she's so overwhelmed by her current mess of a bookmark collection that she just can't get started dealing with it...) One more tip -- I now have my first-tier folder structure 'sorta' follow the way I organize files on my hard drive. Not that I used a brilliant method there either, but since I've gotten used to it over time, it made sense to mirror it with my bookmark folder structure. Now when I try to find something, at least I have only ONE idiosyncratic system to decipher ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
