RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1654654

(Reporter: public.comment, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0

Steps to reproduce:

From Firefox menu - selected Bookmarks --> BookMark This Page
Unlike previously It does not prompt where to save or permit editing the name of the bookmark - just saves it automatically in Other Bookmarks.
So then I have to select Bookmarks again and select Edit the Bookmark to edit the name and select where to file it.

Actual results:

BookMark This Page saves it automatically to Other Bookmarks
without prompting where to save or permit editing the name of the bookmark.

Expected results:

It should have provided me prompts to edite the name and nominate where to save the bookmark

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Component: Untriaged → Bookmarks & History

Using the menu option is the same as clicking the star button on the address bar. When you click the star button there's an option near the bottom that says "Show editor when saving". Make sure that is selected, and then the edit popup will appear as you expect.

Thanks very much for the STAR advice - that setting has fixed it.
I don't know how/when it changed - I tried to look at Firefox settings - but nothing was available that I could see there.
I also googled - but no advice there...

You can close my problem.
Thanks for your quick response,
Kim
