Vlad it shows all Bookmark folders on the menu, right? Not the actual bookmarks.

      In Orion When i click on the 'Bookmarks' menu the menu displays folders with book marks inside them.

      In Safari when I click on the 'Bookmarks' menu it displays folders with book marks inside them, but also individual bookmarks.

      So I think what we are asking for is the ability to show custom folders and individual bookmarks directly in the 'Bookmarks' menu. Perhaps that ability already exists? If so I can't find it.

        Well, I think I can't make it clearer... In the first screen I go to BookmarksMenu, then the menu opens and I go on selecting Audio and Music subfolder: all the single bookmarks show up (second screenshot). But if I select Lyrics subfolder it looks like it's empty, but it's not (third screenshot). I have no clue why some subfolders show their contents and some does not. The number of bookmarks inside is irrelevant.

        All bookmarks and subfolders show up just fine in the sidebar with the shortcut ⌃⌘1

        What I'd like is a Bookmark menu just like Safari's and not Firefox, Opera etc. I understand this may be not feasible, I'm just saying that Orion present bookmark menu is cumbersome imho.

          Ok I think I understand what the problem is now.

          Orion has top level "Bookmarks" folder because this is required by the web extensions API. Firefox has the same.

          We definitely want to find a solution for this.

            This folder is annoying. Add an option to include the "Bookmarks Bar Menu" folder within the "Bookmarks" folder for reverseability if the user changes their minds.

              Vlad I also mentioned this a while back, and you mentioned that it was for compatibility with Firefox.

                  Vlad Perhaps combining the "Bookmarks bar menu" and "Favorites" folders, or simply removing the favorites folder and renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to favorites is a good solution.

                      Not really sure why people would not want their Bookmarks Bar folders to be on the start page, it simply complicates things, as they may as well just not use the start page.
                      It would also make a great excuse to create bookmark folders on the start page atop that.

                        Vlad You can simply "hide" the bookmarks folder from the sidebar, but still have it present. Not sure how this would work in code.

                              Currently in my Bookmarks folder list is Favorites, Bookmarks Bar and Bookmarks and none can be removed.

                              All folders are unnecessary as all should fall under the list of Bookmarks and perhaps add a folder called Other Bookmarks for those that people want hidden, similar to Chrome setup.

                              How it currently looks, all folders useless and unremovable.

                              Would be better if it looked like this:

                                Jayshai I seem to remember similar requests from the past. Can you look through the forum and a link a couple so we can merge them and discuss the optimal solution?

                                      to summarize previous discussions:

                                      what should be done is to have a top level "Bookmarks" folder, BUT in the UI, don't show it to the user. it would be merely for API compatibility.

                                      this is because that bookmarks folder doesn't need to actually do anything important in terms of organization.
                                      the other special folders, Favorites and Bookmarks Bar, should show up above all other bookmarks, and the contents of the Bookmarks folder underneath.

                                      basically:

                                        eirk Oh this is very elegant. We could just remove Bookmarks folder from the menu, sidebar, window when we are editing.
