Adding the current page to specific folder by selecting from dropdown is
cumbersome.  A better/faster option is a Bookmark Folder context menu option to
Add Current (some other browsers have such a feature).  This should be
implemented in both the Bookmarks sidebar as well as the Manage Bookmarks window
(which appear to use the same Folder context menu).

So opening Bookmarks Manager or the Bookmarks sidebar, navigating to the desired
location, and choosing "Add Current" is faster than choosing Add Bookmark and
navigating to the current location?  Once the dialog UI is reworked, probably
with a tree, there won't be any tangible difference.  As for the bookmarks
sidebar, you can drag the URL to the location in the sidebar already.

There's already more than a dozen ways of adding bookmarks, we don't need to
bloat the UI by adding another dozen.
