Hey all - just switched to Mac.
One frustration - can't seem to nest my MANY bookmark folders. Does anyone know how??

Thanks a ton!

Sure. Just go to Bookmarks/Show all Bookmarks, then to Bookmarks/Add Bookmark Folder. Name your new folder, then drag and drop it where you want it. Drop it on top of an existing folder to create a nested subfolder.

Never underestimate the power of drag and drop on the Mac!

VegasGeorge - thanks for the help, but it just doesn't work. I tried dragging while holding Shift, Control, Option (and that other one), but all I can do is move the new folder around.

Make sure you're actually in the Bookmarks list, not in the sidebar

You have to be in Show All Bookmarks. You can't do it in just Bookmarks. You don't need any keys, just drag and drop using the left mouse button.

That got it!
I was trying to do it in the sidebar.

Muchas Gracias!
