* Move a bookmark between folders: Click on a bookmark and keep the mouse button held down, then drag the bookmark to a new folder.

* Create a new bookmark in a folder: Right-click a folder and choose "New Bookmark". An "Add Bookmark" dialog box appears where you can enter the bookmark information.
