[Bug 231784] [NEW] bookmarking a url

[judiemul]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

i don't know if this is a bug so much as a design flaw.

i just recently upgraded to firefox 3.0, beta 5 and the bookmark file no
longer works like it did before.

i have 100's of unsorted urls and urls that have been placed in folders.
i use a numbering system to categorize them. but when i open the library
to resort them by name -- which i have to do every time now because the
s/w doess't save the settings anymore -- and then when i go to bookmark
a new site, and i select choose, the list of file folders are not in the
correct order. and there doesn't seem to be any way to get them ordered
which means i have to go through all the urls looking for the folder. it
seems to be sorting them according to the date they were first set up,
which is very counter-intuitive. that wouldn't be so bad, if there was a
box where i could begin to type the name and then have it auto-fill but
there isn't any provision for that either.

this new upgrade is very awkward to use and wastes a lot of time. to
make it work in the short-term, i am having to set up a new file folder
but now i have several versions of the same folder which at some point,
i am going to have to back and move the urls and delete them.

very dissatisfied user!!!!
