There is no way to add a new folder to the bookmarks or edit (add) new tags. To create a new folder requires multiple steps at which point it you either forget what you wanted to bookmark, bookmark it somewhere where you may never find it again or as I do, don't bookmark it but copy the address to IE and add it to the "Favorites" list.

Second the Delete and Done buttons need to be reversed. If I go to "Bookmark this page" my first option should be to "Add" it not "Delete" it. Also the "Done" should read "Add" not "Done". Done does not indicate that you have done anything other than open the bookmark page.

The bookmarking and editing of bookmark file was very intutitive in past releases. This release creates frustration because you need to try to think like the person who did the program not a user just trying to add a bookmark. Users should not have to edit file to do a simple function. This has been a great step backwards for Firefox. A simple feature but one that carrier lots of weight. 

I don't like to but I now add the bookmarks to IE because it is easier to understand and perform. Yes it's inconvenient switching between them and coping addresses, but it works.
