User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

My recently loaded firefox is identified as 1.0
1. I would like the option of viewing all bookmarks as in Explorer with the
'unfoldered' bookmarks coming AFTER not alphabetically amongst the folders.  I
create them quickly and them sort them afterwards.
2. If I wish to put bookmarks into the correct forler on creation, it would be
nice to identify the forder name by means of using the first letters of each
folder and subfolder, perhaps with a prefix such as ctrl.
3. To 'upgrade' can I just overwrite or do I have to go through the pain of
deleting first?

Reproducible: Always

Hi Chris,

Bugzilla is a place that deals with bug report. Please read
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html for the basics on how to
use bugzilla.

This also means that Bugzilla is not meant for support issues. Furthermore many
of your points can be found with a bit of Googling.

1) drag and drop?
2) i don't expect that feature, as they need to be dynamically created per user
and handled in case of duplicate initial letters etc.
3) i guess this is dealt with by the readme files. On windows it always is smart
to uninstall first. With beta software even the more so. Needed? Maybe things
will work. Play it safe? Uninstall first

If this were available, I would use it, and I have not seen a Bug on it. 
(Prepending a space to folder names as a work around does not work).
