RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 423617

Details

In Netscape and Mozilla, I was able to designate one of my bookmarks folders as
the default folder into which all new bookmarks go.  (It showed up with the
NEW_BOOKMARK_FOLDER parameter in the HTML.)  

This doesn't seem to be possible in Firefox.  I wish it was.

The Add Bookmarks dialog always comes up with the option menu reset to the root
-- it does not even remember the last value I selected in it, so I have to
re-select my "New Stuff" folder every time.

Looks like this (=it does not remember the last value selected) was done
intentional, see Bug 255129. So lets stick with the idea of a default folder here.
