@l33t4opera said in Opera 89 dev news:

- DNA-99391 Add bookmarks at the bottom of a bookmarks bar folder

Why? Who asked for this? It completely breaks the flow of using bookmarks as a "to check later" tool. Atleast let us decide with an option.

Edit : Its happening on All folders, not just bookmarks bar ones. Please fix it, only for bookmarks bar is ok, for all folders as its happening now its madness.
