Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Please consider this:

I want to be able to organize the bookmarks that I'm currently accessing (containing folder context) using all of the features of "Organize Bookmarks", so I can "organize" bookmarks on the fly. "Bookmark this link" just isn't providing enough utility for me.  I would like to see a context menu item that includes these features.  I think this would involve using some of the Organize Bookmarks code or completely integrating it with the Bookmarks UI.

It's very annoying to have to stop what I'm doing and run Organize Bookmarks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.UI
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Have to use Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks

Expected Results:  
UI

could you provide a better explanation or a graphical mockup of your request?

Let me guess. As an example, you have a bookmarked page open and want to move this bookmark link to a different folder. I don't see how 'bookmark this link' helps.

IMHO, a context menu on a web page should only provide options for working on that page. Providing bookmark facilities on a page context menu seems inconsistent UI to me.

if you're in a bookmarked page you can click the star and edit the bookmark location... that should be enough for that use case.
WFM, current 3.x interaction is different from 2.x.
