If I don't have a place or folder to put a new bookmark in then it becomes just another random saved address with no specific home folder to be grouped in and with similar favorite bookmark addresses.

I may find it again or in some cases it will become lost in the stack of jumbled random addresses by the time it gets found I probably already saved it 2 or 3 times in another folder.How about those save for later folders, they just get so big that sifting through them I have no clue what some of titles are.
