Get rid of "Unsorted Bookmarks" in FF 30

FF 30 apparently has this hard coded. "Unsorted Bookmarks" is now at the end of my nicely sorted list. I would like to get rid of it, delete it permanently, kick it to the curb. It's kind of lousy having this thing hanging out there.
I'm running Linux Mint Debian Edition fwiw. I checked into all the about:config options and also the permissions on my .mozilla/firefox/mwadxxyy.default folder thoroughly. There appears to be no easy way to get rid of it. It's undelete-able.
Any solutions?

1) I was hoping to do this cleanly, without installing an add-on like stylish.
2) There's no such folder as "chrome" anywhere below /home/myuserid/.mozilla. It's not in there, nor in my mwad0hks.default folder just below that one. There's no such thing in LMDE or I suspect in most Linux distros.
My suggestion, please get RID of this thing in the next update. Although it's not a technical challenge for me to implement either one, neither of the above is a "clean" solution. Very messy for something that imho should not be hard coded and un-deletable or unmove-able in the first place.
Any ideas on #2 above? Create the chrome folder withing my profile folder maybe? Then, create the UserChrome.css file?

    OOPS! Too quick on the trigger to ask that question without trying anything. Sorry. Solved it by touching the bookmark icon.

  • How can I get rid of the "Bookmarks" Submenu in my Bookmark Toolbar - Tried everything!

    I have a problem with FF that is driving me insane. I want to get rid of the "Bookmarks" Submenu which resides on the far RH side of the Bookmarks Toolbar, but it won't let me delete it. I have tried EVERYTHING to get it to go - Deleted preferences, deleted all of my bookmarks, tried customising the toolbar etc but it's still there. I have no need to a Bookmakr submenu in my Bookmark toolbar and I don't want it there, just taking up space. Is there any way at all I can get rid of it? Friends say that their FF doesn't have it, but I have tried a re-install and trashing prefs and it still won't go!
    Could use some help with this - I am going mad.
    Thanks

    OK - Now I have a new issue. Without the Bookmark sub menu in the Bookmark toolbar, I can't drag or add any links to the bookmark toolbar! Dragging, adding it via the Bookmark Panel etc. is fruitless. Is this normal behaviour? I don't get it - Why would I need a sub menu in my bookmark bar, when the whole reason for the bar being there is for me to add my own bookmark locations or even folders? There is no point having the bar, if it has a menu in it, since I have to open the menu anyway, so I may as well just open the bookmark menu. I can't believe this is the way it is designed.... Attached is a pic comparing what it looks like with the sub-menu in the bar and without. Note that in both cases the Bookmark Bar is visible.
    This is not doing my intention to jump ship from Safari any good. So far the Bookmark management and RSS Set-up in Firefox is leaving a lot to be desired, and is looking decidedly dodgy....

  • How do I get rid of the Bookmarks tab, or customize the Navigation Pane?

    I want to get rid of the bookmarks tab, I want only the "pages" tab to be open by default, whether the document has bookmarks or not. I know there's initial view but I need to set Acrobat to open the pages tab by default, not open it in bookmarks first, then change initial view to pages, then save.

    Right-click and de-select Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Or View > Toolbars

  • Can't get rid of old bookmark list for current list to save for backup

    My computer was infected with malware and crashed in November. I lost everything but was able to get my bookmarks back with a jump drive.
    I then went in and removed a lot of bookmarks and folders, and have added a lot of other folders and bookmarks over time. I do mean a lot.
    I am now trying to make a current back up, but every time I try to export it to html format it reverts back to the original list that was edited to the current list, which I can see, and even though it does light up when I select all, it again reverts back to the original list for export, and will not show the list as is now.
    Am curious why the original list is even here, as it should of disappeared when the computer crashed, so how can it still be here is another question, but this is not my main question of course.
    How do I get rid of the original list and get it to export the current list for back up? PLEASE! Once bitten twice shy.
    Running XP Professional on a Sony Vaio 2002.
    I have tried to make a copy in a word doc but cannot get it to "copy" to paste to put it into that format.
    Thank you in advance, Trisha

    I'm still unclear what is happening when you export.
    This article has the steps to export bookmarks to an HTML file: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]].
    Are you saying that the file you export contains the old bookmarks that you removed, or the old bookmarks reappear in Firefox when you try to export??
    The JSON format consists of text, but isn't meant to be easily read. Its real purpose is to be restored back to Firefox is you lose your bookmarks. So it is a convenient backup format.
    I can understand that you aren't sure what it contains. If you'd like to see how it restores, you can copy the .json file to a convenient location (e.g., thumb drive or documents folder) and restore it into a new Firefox profile.
    This doesn't replace your existing Firefox settings, but would be an independent settings folder that exists alongside it. You can create and switch between profiles for testing, to isolate different users, or other purposes. Just don't delete any profiles without backing up the ones you really care about, just in case something were to go wrong during the process.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    When creating a new profile, I recommend using the default location suggested, and to avoid data loss, not re-using any existing folder.
    Once you get the new profile with its default bookmarks, you can restore your last .json backup to see what it includes. This is where the "convenient location" comes in: when using the steps in the following article, you will use "Choose File" to locate that .json file. [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].

  • How do i get rid of duplicated bookmarks after sync

    after reset sync, i ow have duplicated bookmarks on my pc and i keep getting error messages that it can't sync to my iPhone.
    How do i get rid of duplicates on my PC?
    No articles on this subject help or have answers that helped!!!!

    I had to go through and delete duplicated bookmarks. After syncing up computers, turn only one on, one with duplicates. Organize, remove, relabel the bookmarks. Open tools(XP) or Firefox upper left(win7) options,Sync,manage account, reset sync,replace all other devices with this computer's data.
    Seemed to work for me.
    Sync instructions could be a lot clearer about this.
    I am not clear how syncing works when 2 computers are on all the time.

  • How do I get rid of the bookmark button in the bookmark toolbar?

    I have firefox 4.0 RC1 on my laptop and on my desktop. On my desktop, the bookmark button on the toolbar is gone, but on my laptop the button on the toolbar is shown. I've seen a few post about having the button removed through coding but I don't really know much about that.
    If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Maybe a step by step?

    Doesn't work. I figured out that the only time the button will disappear is when I turn on the "Menu Bar." Other than that, when I drag another bookmark button in to the tool bar I just get two that come up.
    More Info:
    -Same addons
    -Same RC version
    -I tried changing the profiles
    -I made the chrome/userChrome.css file (Could be doing it wrong)
    -I didn't do anything for the bookmark button to disappear on my desktop

  • I cnnot get rid if a bookmark in my side bar

    I have a book mark in my side bar but cannot find out out to close it and remove it from my side bar....I am going to have to delete fox fire if I cannot find a fix

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />

  • Why in the world is there an "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder appearing that I can't get rid of. I will pay money to get it gone... forever

    The details are:

    clear enough?

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • How do I get rid of Firefox as its awfully slow and has lost all my favourites which are not in the unsorted bookmarks file?

    I was told by eBay to set up Mozilla Firefox as I had problems uploading scans on to listings. I now find I have lost all my favourites and there is nothing in the unsorted bookmarks, where you told me they would be. Also it has slowed down my computer considerably, and seems to want to have about ten goes every time you try to get into a website. So it seems totally useless to me, and I want to revert to Internet Explorer. Why is MF such a useless system and how do I delete it - I am very elderly busy computer operator with ;ittle knowledge of systems, what you call things and so on, so please keep it simple. Jeremy

    From Bookmarks (at top left of page) select 'Show All Bookmarks'. This will open the bookmarks Library. Have a look around here to see if your bookmarks (favourites) are all there. If so, you can now export them for use in other browsers. Why not take the opportunity to tidy or restrucure them before export?
    To export them select 'Import and Backup' then 'Export HTML'. Save the file to somewhere safe on your PC, My Documents perhaps.
    I use an Uninstaller Program so I'm not too sure but I think you can uninstall Firefox > Start > All Programs > Mozilla Firefox - and there's possibly an uninstall option here. Failing this, go to the Program folder and find the 'uninstall' folder, double click 'helper.exe' and this will open the Firefox uninstaller.

  • A "Bookmarks" window has appeared on the left edge of my screen. How do I get rid of it?

    On the left edge of my screen, under all the bars, is a box with a black label "Bookmarks". Under the label is a search box, and under that are 3 dropdown entries, Bookmarks Toolbar, Bookmarks Menu, and Unsorted Bookmarks. Since there are other places I can get these tools, I want the space back that this thing is taking up. How do I get rid of it?

    <blockquote>I have a close box so I can close it with a mouse click. My problem is that the sidebar appears when I open a new window with a 'right click - open in new window' link. My question is "How can I prevent the sidebar from appearing in the first place?"
