"Bookmark Manager" *can* move groups of bookmarks to different

*HOWEVER* I have thousands of bookmarks and it is near impossible
to view structure as a whole. [places.sqlite is 10.5 MB]
Exporting as HTML loses relationship between groups of bookmarks.
Short of learning to program sqlite, suggestions?

I have maybe 15 first-level folders, with lots of subfolders
within each. With that kind of organization, I can easily see the
big-picture folder structure, and still have plenty of room on the
screen to drill down within a couple of first-level folders at the
same time while reorganizing the subfolders and individual bookmarks.
What I have is an ad hoc collection of POORLY organized bookmarks.
Some in logically nested collections. Many just scattered loose.
Some may date back to Netscape days.
As you observed, once there is a logically organized set of folders
there is no problem moving folders or sub-folders to a new location
in the tree. That's what prompted my post ;/

Something has changed recently with Bookmark Manager (besides now
being called 'Library'). Before, the left pane showed folder title
for top-level folders, plus subfolder titles if you clicked the '>'
icon, plus unsorted bookmarks at the bottom. Now the unsorted
bookmarks only appear in the right pane.
But either way, with two panes, you can expose as much of your
subfolder structure as there is space on your monitor in either the
left or right pane. This might not help much on a laptop screen, but
it's really great on a large monitor, and even better with multiple
monitors![snip]
I do NOT see two panes in "Bookmark Manager".
I am running SeaMonkey 2.49.4 [1] on the i386 flavor of Debian 9.8 [2]
Using the menu choice Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks
I see a single pane titled "Bookmark Manager" with no apparent way to
display a second pane.
Richard, on that screen, do you see two sections .... in the Left Hand
section there are listed all the folders (Tags, All Bookmarks,
Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, etc., etc.) and then, if you select
one of those folders, in the right hand pane are listed the Bookmarks
that you have in that folders??
If you don't see two such panes, is the the right hand side of the
screen dragable (look for a knurled 'grippie' thing) so that you might
expose the second pane??
Temporarily I have a 64 bit version of SeaMonkey running on a test
machine. I see the two pane version of Bookmark Manager. IT is evidently
a difference between 32 and 64 bit versions of SeaMonkey.
As shown by my sig file, I dual-boot this laptop, so at different times
I have used 32 bit SeaMonkey (Win7 WOW64) (like now) and 64 bit
SeaMonkey (Linux x64) and I have ALWAYS seen the two pane version of
Bookmark Manager, so, I'm guessing, it's something you have done/haven't
done!
