Recent bookmarks don't make it to the bookmarks list.
When I click on the star and bookmark a page, I expect it to appear on my list of bookmarks, the next time I click on the list icon. It doesn't, but if I mouseover "recent bookmarks", it appears on that list. How do I get it onto my main bookmark list?

- "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called Smart Bookmarks folders and are not real existing folders.
- Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
- Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
- Clicking the star on the Navigation toolbar will bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns blue to show that
- "Bookmark This Page" (Ctrl+D) will bookmark the page in the Bookmarks Menu folder (you need to confirm that)
- "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu in the browsing area or via the Bookmarks menu in the Firefox menu button drop down or if you use the keyboard via the Bookmarks menu(Alt+B)
