You have quite a few possibilities at hand if you want to bookmark a website in the Firefox web browser. You could click on the star icon in the address bar to add the page to the unsorted bookmarks folder. It is also possible to press CTRL D to bookmark a page, drag and drop the url from the address bar to a folder or toolbar or to use the bookmarks menu to bookmark it. The Add Bookmark Here add-on for the Firefox web browser makes bookmarking just a tad easier for most Firefox users.
Probably the most interesting option that is provided by the add-on is that it displays the bookmark menu when right-clicking on the star icon in the Firefox address bar giving users the option to avoid the unsorted bookmarks folder and place the website in a different folder. The bookmarks menu is expanded and offers way more comfort than the default one.
The expanded bookmarks menu will be displayed all the time. The add-on will also add a Add Bookmark Here option to all bookmark folders which is especially useful for those located in on of the Firefox toolbars as it means that it is possible to add bookmarks to a specific bookmark folder with just two clicks. It is possible to hide some of the features of the add-on in the options. It is for example possible to remove the Add Bookmark here menu from the bookmark folders or to place it at the bottom instead of the top.
Add Bookmark Here is an interesting add-on for users who bookmark regularly. (Thanks Roman for the tip)

Drag & drop is the fastest way to bookmark.
You can also drag and drop bookmarks to your drives including flash drives. The bookmark becomes an Internet Shortcut when you drag it there. But they work the same way.
