I chose "Add to folder in Instapaper". The "Move to Foler" screen appeared. However, the screen does not show all the folders. Why is this? If it is not possible to show all of them, I would like to be able to specify them, for example, by entering the folder name.

I use the "Right-click on a link to save to Instapaper" all the time, both so save later and to "Instaread"

This extension simply doesn't work, button is inactive and options don't open. Can't make it work to open a random page in Instapaper.
