Can't hide "Show All Bookmarks" in bookmarks menu in Fx 30

Before, in Fx 29, I was able to hide the "Show All Bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+B" link in the bookmarks menu by adding this line of code into my userChrome.css file:
#BMB_bookmarksShowAll { display: none !important; }
With Fx 30, however, this does not seem to work. I am trying to hide that link in the menu that pops up when using the bookmarks button, not the menu bar. Thanks!

Current Firefox releases have two of those "Show All Bookmarks" items: one on the top and one at the bottom of the list.
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#BMB_bookmarksShowAllTop, #BMB_bookmarksShowAll { display:none!important; }
</nowiki></pre>

Can't find "Show All Bookmarks" button on Firefox 29

I can no longer locate the "Show All Bookmarks" button from the Bookmarks menu on Firefox 29. I tried looking for it in the Bookmarks Sidebar, but it's not there either. I would like to manually backup my bookmarks from time to time - is there another way to do this on Firefox 29?

Whenever I right-click on a bookmark in show all bookmarks cookies try to load. How can I prevent this from happening?

Check and tell if its working.

Why can't I find "organize bookmarks" in the bookmarks drop-down menu? I read that Show all bookmarks has replaced it, but there is no way that I can see to manage/organize them from this screen.

As stated above

As you already guessed:
*"Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in Firefox 4 and later.
What do you see when you open that window?

Remove 'Show all bookmarks' tab

Hi folks, I've updated to version 29 as required, from my other post. Using the stylish add on worked perfectly, thankyou. But I do have another annoying thing I would like help with.
When I click on my bookmarks, the menu drops down with all my bookmarks and at the bottom of the list, I see a grey tab with ' Show all bookmarks ctrl+shift+B '
Is they anyway I can remove/hide that tab?
Thanks again

Hello,
I realize you already have Stylish installed, but I'm providing the full directions for anyone else who might come across this thread. I also previously posted a user style that hides everything but bookmarks and folders from the menu:
* https://support.mozilla.org/questions/994606#answer-556236
# Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager, click User Styles on the left.
# Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.
<pre><nowiki>
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#BMB_bookmarksShowAll { display: none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the ''userChrome.css'' file instead, but I don't recommend it.

I need to delete a bookmark to a site that no longer exists. Since it won't load, I don't get the star. Since it's not in a folder, it won't show on the Show All Bookmarks page. grrrr.

When I pull up the Show All Bookmarks window, I only see bookmarks already placed in folders, not the uncategorized ones.
The star option only works when the bookmark can actually be loaded.
How do I delete a bookmark that is now a broken link but not placed into a folder?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should see the star even if the bookmark doesn't load. You can try offline mode (File > Work Offline).

Bookmarks do NOT open in a browser window when click "show all bookmarks"

Currently using Firefox 30.0.3 Mac OS 10.9.5. When I tried to edit my collection of bookmarks buy opening the "show all bookmarks" in the pull-down menu., nothing happened. This usually opens a new tab or window with the bookmarks displayed. I then researched HELP and tried all those solutions to no avail. Even where the help topic says a bookmarks window will open, it does not. I have no way of editing or deleting en masse outdated bookmarks. Yes I can do so individually through the bookmark button on the toolbar - what a pain in the _________s.
Is this problem intentional, or a glitch?

Cory MH - Thank you for your suggestions. The bookmarks window DOES open when Firefox is in safe mode. So I went through the troubleshooting process and nothing there helped. Extensions (there are only two) are disabled, I am using the default appearance. All plug-ins are set on "ask to activate". I should mention that this bookmark problem only just began, and never happened before the most recent updates - there were two only a day or so apart.

My bookmarks folder appears in the Bookmarks menu, but bookmarks do not appear when clicking "Show All Bookmarks." Bookmark Manager appears, but shows no bookmarks at all.

When opening the Bookmarks menu, I see my bookmarks folder in the dropdown and can access them from there. However, if I click "Show All Bookmarks" the manager launches, but shows no bookmarks of any kind. No defaults, folders, uncategorized links...nothing.
As such, I can still use the bookmarks while surfing, but I can't organize, delete, or export them since they don't show up in the bookmark manager.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Since updating to FF4 my bookmarks have dissappeared from the sidebar. When going to 'Show all bookmarks' there is only a recent one! However they are all listed in the dropdown. Saving only save the single one. Restoring a saved file makes no difference.

On the previous version of FF the All-in-One side bar showed my Bookmarks OK. Upgrading to FF4 has lost them all, except a recent one, from the sidebar. However they are available from the drop-down via the Firefox button at top left. Then when I go to 'show all bookmarks' the only one shown is the recent one. Saving the bookmarks results in that single one being saved only! Deleting all the bookmarks and re-installing a backup results in the same happening, they list ok on the dropdown but not in the side bar. Any ideas?

My bookmarks are all still there, but 'Show all bookmarks' is empty and so is 'Bookmark this page Folder Choose'.

I have installed FF 4.0 on home and office PCs (both Windows XP). Bookmarks are synced between them using FF Sync 1.7. Until a couple of days ago, no problem. But now something weird has happened to the bookmarks on my home PC.
All the bookmarks are there - I can select them normally from the BM toolbar and the BM menu, and they are found by the address bar.
However, I can no longer organise my bookmarks. When I choose 'Show all bookmarks' the All Bookmarks folder appears completely empty. When I add a new bookmark, the Choose folder dialog shows a small, apparently random selection of my bookmark folders, and the Choose drop-down doesn't show any folders at all.
I have tried restoring bookmarks from several days ago and also from the office machine. In both cases restore worked fine, but it still only populates the Bookmark menu and not the Show all/Organise folder.

This looks like a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835014#answer-201724
Backup of bookmarks, deletion of places.sqlite, and restoration of bookmarks solved it for me.

Bookmarks Toolbar does not appear in "Show All Bookmarks"

I keep all my bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. All are intact and functional. They appear to back up properly (i.e., viewing a newly-created json file with MS Notepad, I find nothing to suggest that anything is missing). BUT, I can't actually view/organize these (or any other) bookmarks in the Library. After clicking "Show All Bookmarks," the main Library pane that opens is empty. In the navigation pane at the left, there is an entry "+ All Bookmarks," suggesting there's an expandable tree there. Clicking on the "+" has no effect; no expanded tree in the Nav pane, no bookmarks in the main pane. In short, I have no way to organize my existing bookmarks, even though they are intact and functional.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I tried your SafeMode suggestion. There was no change in the performance of the Bookmark Library; it still opens blank and the "+ All Bookmarks" will not expand.
I skimmed through a few hundred other questions and answers and found a handful of others with what appears to be a similar problem. I'm currently looking at this:
[[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox|Locked or damaged places.sqlite]]
I tried the backup/restore solution. I creating a new backup, verifying that it was current by adding a new bookmark just before backing up, and then checking the json file to be sure it was there. No problem. I did a restore: all bookmarks look like they're still OK, but there was no change in the performance of the Library window.
I'll try CHKDSK next, before I attempt a full rebuild of places.sqlite.

Firefox 4 cannot "Sort by name" on Bookmarks on the fly but I have to open "Show all Bookmarks" to do so.

I used to be able to "Sort by name" bookmarks on the fly without having to open "Show all bookmarks" pane.

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session". There is also an option to restore the previous session on the default about:home home page.
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Why is there no "Show All Bookmarks" in my Bookmarks menu in Firefox 3.6.28--AS YOU SAID in how to export to Bookmarks.html??

I followed instructions on how to export my Firefox bookmarks to a Bookmarks.html,
BUT there is no Show All Bookmarks in my Bookmarks menu. I don't get it. I have Firefox 3.6.28,
which is the latest I can install on my PowerPC OS 10.4.11 Mac. Thank you.
I'm stuck without my Firefox bookmarks on my new iMac OS 10.8.

In Firefox 3.6.x it is named "Organize Bookmarks"
*Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on OS X 10.5).
*http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/19.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.3 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Where has the Bookmark button gone, that shows ALL bookmarks as a dropdown?

I have had to reinstall my OS, and now with Firefox I don't see the big 'Bookmarks' button I had to the right of the Google search box.
This is with icons set to 'Icons'.
I use to be able to click 'Bookmarks' and they'd appear in a dropdown, like the "Latest News" feed operates.
I can click on Bookmarks button (with the star on it), but that just opens a side pane - not a dropdown that disappears when I've clicked it.

I loaded up Windows 7 and took a couple quick screenshots for you:
http://tinyurl.com/3c7ouvs
Also note that it only shows the bookmarks menu button if you are using the Firefox menu button and not the classic menu bar, as it would be quite redundant to have both a button and the bookmarks menu up top that did the exact same thing.
Look at what you have in the toolbar and what's in the customize window (you may need to scroll down). If you have one in the toolbar then the other is probably in the customize window somewhere. If you have a lot of addons installed there may be lots of buttons to look through.
If you have trouble you could just click the "Restore Default Set" button in the customize dialog to reset all your toolbars to the defaults which will also involve putting the bookmarks button you want there. If you had any other customizations to your toolbars you could then change them back again.

Safari quits everytime I click "show all bookmarks"

Basically, I'm using OS 10.3.9, and Safari has been updated to the latest. But, since then, it quits everytime I click on the "show all bookmarks" icon.....
I don't know why this is happening, and I don't know what to do...
HELP, PLEASE!!

Hi lost92
when you say safari 'quits' - do you mean it crashes? - or just that the window you're viewing disappears ?
If the 2nd one - that's normal behaviour. If you look at the safari icon in your Dock, you'll probably see an up-arrow below it - this shows that the Safari application is still running, even though there may be no windows open.
If you have just the one safari windows open - there's no need to click the red dot ( close window ) to go to another page. Just click on a link/bookmark to the new page you want - or type the address into the address bar at the top of the safari window. To over-write the existing address, click the icon just to the left of it - & start typing - then press enter when you're done. You can also press Apple-L ( Apple key+L key at the same time) to do the same thing.
If you find that safari has no windows open - either click the icon in the dock, or from the Safari menu, choose File-New window.
You should also read safari help regarding Tabbed browsing, since this is a very useful feature.
