Creating a new folder in bookmarks

I want to create a NEW folder in bookmarks and THEN add bookmarked pages to that folder.
I've actually searched support for a specific solution or instructions and found none. Currently, I can not find any instructions or options for creating a folder. I don't want to just bookmark the current page I am on. I want to create a folder based on topic and then, later, add bookmarks to that folder when a particular page is related to that topic.
How?

Note that you can also create a new folder via the Organize button in the Library window. 
The Organize is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Organize, Views, Import and Backup).

How do I create a new folder in bookmarks?

I followed the suggestions from post a year ago, but the answer I was directed to no longer works. This used to be easy until they changed the bookmark section on Firefox. Wondering why there does not seem to be a choice simply marked "New Folder" or if there is, where is it?

To create a new folder in Bookmarks: Click on "Bookmarks". Then click on "Bookmark this page". A small pop-up screen will have fields for "name" (of the page), "folder", and "tags". To the far right of the "folder" field are two downward arrows. Click on the one farthest to the right. This will show you '''all''' the existing folders, and an option to make a "NEW FOLDER".
Before you click on this, you may want to select an existing folder to put the NEW folder into. If so, click on the folder of choice, then click on the "NEW FOLDER" option. The new folder will appear at the bottom of the menu. You can name it now, or later. When all fields have been filled to your satisfaction, click on "DONE". I'm not sure how you'd do it without starting with a page you want to save, but you'll find a way, right?

I have created a new folder in bookmark menu, but cannot get it to appear with the others. It stays at the bottom of the bookmark list instead

I have created a new folder in the bookmarks menu, but it appears at the bottom of the bookmark list when I go to bookmarks instead of at the top with all the other bookmark folders.
I have tried to sort alphabetically, but it does not move.

I need to create a NEW folder for bookmarks, not add to an existing one. I've been looking for over 2 hours and can only find the latter. Also, if possible, I'd like to remove a redundancy on my Bookmarks Toolbar. Thank You!

I am working on many projects and my bookmark folders suffice. I need to create new folders, but not "Smart Folders." After over 2 hours, I keep coming back to the same description of how to add new folders to existing ones. NOT what I want to do. This used to be easy, but the set up must have changed as I've been trying to do this all day with no success.
Also, somehow my gmail inbox appears twice in my bookmarks toolbar. Again, I am finding information that does not apply to me in help and former question files and links. How do I remove things from my bookmarks toolbar?
Thank you and PLEASE, oh Please e-mail the answer to me as I seem to have problems with your site.

Open the Bookmarks Library, to do that in the Bookmarks menu select "Organize Bookmarks"
In the Bookmarks Library, in the left hand pane click on "Bookmarks Toolbar" to select it, now in the Organize menu select "New Folder".
If you have the capability to right-click, you can also right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar and select New Folder.

"Unsorted bookmarks" got renamed when trying to create a new folder?

I added a new bookmark by clicking the little star in the adress bar, then clicked it again to edit the bookmark. I wanted to move it out of the "Unsorted bookmarks" folder into a new folder named "Minecraft stuff", so i clicked "Bookmark menu" and then clicked "New folder".
It created a new folder for me to rename, so I named it "Minecraft stuff", but then when i clicked elsewhere, the folder disappeared. And then I noticed that "Unsorted bookmarks had been renamed into "Minecraft stuff" :/
I cannot find anywhere how to undo this.
When i go into the bookmark library, it is still called minecraft stuff, but down below in the little box it says "Name: Unsorted bookmarks". Really weird...

#Click the Firefox button, go to Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks. 
#Go to the Unsorted folder, click the bookmark to highlight it, then click ''Organize ''(top left), then Move.
If you just want to rename the folder, hit CTRL+I to open the sidebar, right click the folder, go to Properties and then rename it in the dialog box which appears.

Option to create new folder on bookmarks toolbar by right-clicking is missing

The title says it all. This option has been available forever and recently it has gone missing -- it is not listed in the context menu. I can still create new folders that appear on the bookmarks toolbar by going to:
Bookmarks-->"Show All Bookmarks" and then right-clicking on the "Bookmarks Toolbar" heading
The right-click option is still available there. But it is also missing when I go to Bookmarks and right-click on "Bookmarks Toolbar". The option is listed in the context menu but it is greyed out.
I have not made any changes to FF in recent memory, although I do not pay much attention to automatic updates. This is not urgent. It was just a convenient option and it has disappeared for no apparent reason.

Thanks. That had some effect. The option to create a new folder is no longer greyed out in the context menu when I navigate to:
Bookmarks-->"Bookmarks Toolbar"
and right click on the latter. However, the action does not work and the option is still missing from the context menu of the bookmarks toolbar itself.

How can I create a new folder in de tool bar?

I have several bookmarks of news papers and magazines located in the tool bar. Since they take space I need for other bookmarks, I need to place them in a folder which will also be located in the tool bar. How can do to achieve that?...I did it once but I forgot how I did it.

Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).

Why not instruct MacOS 10.10 users in creating a new folder to use the wheel icon pull-down menu ...

Your instructions on creating folders aren't correct. for my Mac, saying nothing about having to
Open the Bookmarks pull-down menu
Select 'Unsorted Bookmarks'
Go to the top 'Wheel' icon
THEN you can create a new folder, and other good things
Bit of a pain. Otherwise, Firefox is great!

* Bookmarks created via a click on the star in the location bar are stored by default in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
Another click on the blue highlighted star allows to edit the properties and move the bookmark to another folder.
* Bookmarks created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl + D) are stored at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder.
In the left pane in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) there are three folders in the "All Bookmarks" folder:
* "Bookmarks Toolbar"
* "Bookmarks Menu"
* "Unsorted Bookmarks"
You can add new bookmarks to one of those three Bookmarks folders, but you can not create a new folder or add bookmarks at the root level ("All Bookmarks") or remove one of the three root folders.
In the Bookmarks Manager you can also create a new folder via the Organize menu.
In the Bookmarks sidebar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac) you can do that via the right-click context menu.
There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.
* The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
* The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.

I created a News folder but cannot add The Washington Post--I can add other Web sites

I created a "News" folder. I cannot add "The Washington Post" to the folder. I have no trouble adding other Web pages to the folder.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Creating a new folder sometimes drives me wonky

Have any of you found a work around for this: When I'm in the hierarchical view in the finder and want to create a new folder in one of the panes, the OS can make it difficult. If the pane is completely filled with files or folders, when you control click to bring up the context menu, the OS assumes that you want to pick a choice dealing with whatever file you were hovering over at the time.
In order to create a new folder in that pane, I either have to do something wonky like create the folder on the desktop and drag it in, or expand the window to get blank space at the bottom of the file list.
Is there a way to create a folder directly in a filled pane?

You can also right click on the top of a finder window choose customize from the contextual menu & drag the new folder icon to the top of the finder window.
Also click on the action icon (gear icon) & choose new folder from the drop down menu.

Syncronising is creating a new folder in Outlook w...

I have just got a N70 phone and syncronised fine a few times with Microsoft Outlook. All of a sudden i realised that when i syncronised again the phone created a new folder in Microsoft Outlook which I cannot access and cannot delete. As it is called the same as my actual calendar when I go to syncronise again the syn gets confused and doen't do it, getting error report in PC Suite. I tried posinting it to the right folder but it still gets confused!
I spent a few hours with a very nice person who handles my email accounts to create a new mail account to get rid of the new folder. As soon as we finally managed to get rid of these corrupt folders I syncrnised and they appered in the new account again!
Really not sure what to do now!

I forgot to mention that I downloaded the latest version of PC Suite off your website and that the connection is via USB Cable

Creating a new folder in a SharePoint library using C# Windows Application.

I have tried to create a folder within a SharePoint document library. The coding is as follows.
Text Box Name: txtNewFolderName
Button Name : btnCreateNewFolder
private void btnCreateNewFolder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//String parameters for site URL and site name
const string siteUrl = "http://thekingsbury/";
const string siteName = "/SiteDirectory/thekingsbury/";
//Freeze UI
Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
btnCreateNewFolder.Enabled = false;
//Use SPSite constructor to assign site collection based on top-level URL
SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(siteUrl);
//Assign target site (SPWeb instance) based on site name
SPWeb site = siteCollection.AllWebs[siteName];
//Create an instance of SPDocumentLibrary based on the named doc library list
SPDocumentLibrary docLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)site.Lists["Test Library"];
//Create instance of SPFolderCollection and add a named folder based on forms input,
//then update library to reflect added folder
SPFolderCollection myFolders = site.Folders;
myFolders.Add("http://thekingsbury/Test%20Library/" + txtNewFolderName.Text + "/");
docLibrary.Update();
//UI clean-up
Cursor = Cursors.Default;
btnCreateNewFolder.Enabled = true;
Site URL :
http://thekingsbury/
Site Name: thekingsbury
Document Library : Test Library
My problem is when I click the button it gives an error as the following.
The Web application at http://thekingsbury/ could not be found.
Verify that you have typed the URL correctly.
If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.
The error shows at the following statement.
"SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite(siteUrl);"
I created both Windows & Web solutions and the result was the same.
Note: I have add the reference to the SharePoint using the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll file. And used the "using Microsoft.SharePoint;" statement.
Please can someone help me on this matter.It's a real paint to me.

The complete solution using an InfoPath 2010 form is as the below.
using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath;
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Linq;
namespace Create_Folder_In_SharePoint_Library
public partial class FormCode
public void InternalStartup()
((ButtonEvent)EventManager.ControlEvents["btnCreateFolder"]).Clicked += new ClickedEventHandler(btnCreateFolder_Clicked);
public void btnCreateFolder_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
SPSite mySite = new SPSite("Http://thekingsbury/");
SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb();
//Code to retreive the new library.
XPathNavigator xLibraryName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewLibraryName = xLibraryName.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:LibraryName", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Code to retreive the library description.
XPathNavigator xLibraryDesc = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewLibDesc = xLibraryDesc.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:LibraryDescription", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Code to retreive the new folder name.
XPathNavigator xFolderName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String NewFolderName = xFolderName.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:FolderName", NamespaceManager).Value;
//Creating the new library.
myWeb.Lists.Add(NewLibraryName, NewLibDesc, SPListTemplateType.DocumentLibrary);
myWeb.Update();
//Creating the new folder within the new library.
SPDocumentLibrary newDocLibrary = (SPDocumentLibrary)myWeb.Lists[NewLibraryName];
SPFolderCollection newFolders = myWeb.Folders;
newFolders.Add("http://thekingsbury/" + NewLibraryName + "/" + NewFolderName + "/");
newDocLibrary.Update();
I think everyone can use this.
When you are generating a folder always try to avoid reserved characters : ; # $ % ^ a and suchlike.
