What I discovered is that the "select a folder" appears only when I copy and paste a feed URL into the "Add Subscription" button in the Google Reader interface. If I use the "Subscribe" bookmarklet, or, what I always use, the "feed" button in Firefox to select "Subscribe with Google Reader", the folder selection doesn't appear. That why I wasn't seeing it - I never use the "Add Subscription" button in Google Reader itself. Is there any way to extend this functionality to feeds that are added via the bookmarklet/Firefox 2 subscribe mechanism? Thanks for the response! :-) Yes, I reloaded (even after clearing cache and cookies).
