Q: Safari only lets me put bookmarks in folders

Safari is only giving me the option to place bookmarks in existing folders. I can't just add a single solitary bookmark (it doesn't belong in any of my existing folders) and I have many other previous bookmarks that are not in folders... What happened?

Thanks,

Try opening the Bookmarks Sidebar, then highlight the address in the URL bar, then click, hold and drag into the Bookmarks Sidebar.

Drag it below the folders.

But why can I only add it to folders in the dialog box. This didn't used to be how it worked... You could add a bookmark and it would show up at the very bottom of your bookmarks list... Very annoying.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.
