Adding bookmarks to Firefox is not a real pleasure. The default window does not display all of your bookmark folders by default but only a Create in Bookmarks folder. Only when the user clicks on the down arrow provided the rest of his folders are shown in the menu.
The default folder is pretty useless to me because I keep my bookmarks organized and move them straight into the correct folder. I suppose this is the way most users would want the functionality to be.
Below is a short css tweak. Once applied the Add to Bookmarks menu will always show the complete folder tree right from the beginning. To apply the tweak you need to add the lines of code at the end of your userChrome.css file which can be located in your Firefox profile folder.

<blockquote>@-moz-document url(”chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/addBookmark2.xul”) {
#addBookmarkDialog {
min-height: 40em !important; /* Adjust this value to change the default height */
}
#folder-tree {
visibility: visible !important;
}
#keywordRow {
display: -moz-grid-line !important;
}
button[dlgtype=”extra2″] {
display: -moz-box !important;
}
#expander, #keywordRow + row {
display: none !important;
}
}</blockquote>
