"Show All Bookmarks" is not showing all bookmarks
upgraded to FF 4. When clicked, Bookmarks Toolbar button shows various bookmark folders with all of my bookmarks. It also shows the "Show All Bookmarks" option. When that is clicked the "All Bookmarks" folder is empty and I cannot organize any of the bookmarks which are in the main menu.
Also, the other Bookmarks button which used to show all my bookmarks is now empty - it just shows "search".
Deleted localstore.rdf and no change.
After numerous reinstalls failed to solve this problem, I discovered that on my system, it has to do with using an external monitor (via DVI port). When I drag the Firefox window from my laptop screen to an external monitor, "Show All Bookmarks" is suddenly empty. Dragging the browser window back to the original display (laptop) does NOT fix it. Firefox must be RESTARTED on the original display. When Firefox re-opens, "Show All Bookmarks" functions normally again.
WORK AROUND: the only way I can view "Show All Bookmarks" on my external monitor is to first open both the browser and "Show All Bookmarks" windows on the original display, drag BOTH windows to the other monitor and be sure to leave the "Show All Bookmarks" library window open in the background. If I forget and close it by accident, the problem happens all over again.

Jscher and Cor-el tried to help me a few years back w/o success.
Trying again to upgrade from 3.6 (XP) to 27 (Win7).
Exported from 3.6 as HTML file (also have json), and imported into 27.
Last time, I never 'found' most of my bookmarks in FF 27. Especially not the folders.
This time, I tried Library View and it appears everything is there, folders, subs, in sequence etc.
BUT ... unlike in 3.6.28, I can still only see the contents of one folder in the right pane at a time.
I can't work like that.
SO ... maybe, I can access ALL my bookmarks some other way (not via Library)? Via a toolbar perhaps?
But for some reason, the collection in the toolbar doesn't remotely resemble the organized collection I see in the Library. Virtually no folders, and in chaotic order. Many missing it appears. If the contents from the Library were mirrored in the Toolbar (using AIOS), I'd be good to go. Is this what I should expect? What more can I try?
Thanks!!!The Library can manage all the bookmarks, but you need to open one of the three main folders in the left pane to see the bookmarks in that folder in the right pane.
There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.
* The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
* The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
* The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar. -
i had recently installed new firefox and instead of my 20 bookmarks showing up all in the 1 toolbar, only 10 are shown and the rest are hidden to the right with the ">>" button.
how the heck do i change it back to what i previously had? this is driving crazy! i want them all to show and not have to click the ">>" button and go through the drop down menuRemoves text associated with your bookmarks and folders and gives you placement controls over bookmarks extending the functionality and usability of the Bookmarks Toolbar. Your Bookmarks Toolbar is now very Roomy and Smart!

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 are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!
Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated! -
On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden. -
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.

I'm a year into using a computer, and my Mac was set up by another family member who is no longer around.
Tonight I noticed the Firefox "getting started: tab and thought I might learn something. For starters, the screen on the Browsing Basics picture was so small as to be almost unreadable; I played parts of the video many times to catch what tab was being explained. It did not help that many of the tabs on the video were not on my Mac's Firefox screen.
Specifically, my screen has no Firefox tab (except at the top next to the Mac Apple logo), no bookmark tab to the right of the Home tab, no plus sign/new tab tab, no all tabs tab.
My screen also does not match the details on the sample screen that comes up when I first clicked on the Firefox "getting started" tab.
It would seem I need a new Firefox top section of my screen, but I just downloaded Firefox updates.......Thanks for any help!I too just downloaded Firefox on my Mac and noticed that my screen did not match the video. The video's sample screen has been customized to show all the features you can add and use to make browsing easier, like adding all those tabs you and I don't have yet.
But first let me comment on how small the video is, with no way of expanding the video. Your mac can easily zoom in to make the video as big as you need it. Just hold down your ctrl key, place two fingers on your track pad and zoom in or out to the desired size. I use this feature so much, to read small text and watch video windows that are too small. Try it.
After you finish watching the "getting started video" just roll over the markers to make Firefox do what you need it to do. I however have the most of the tab features already from importing some of my settings from another browser so I can't tell you step by step on how to get the tabs you want. Just play around with it and I'm sure you'll begin to appreciate the speed and ease like I do. -

Ok delete this questions I figured it out in add on settings -
My Library (History/Show All History) does not show ANY History - only Tags & "All Bookmarks". What settings do I need to adjust to have this show. Nothing in the Options/Privacy seems to be relevant in English
Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-) -
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. -
why cant i open all my bookmarks in a new tab? only the ones visible above me, not the ones that show up when i click in the arrow to the upper right?
Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons -
I am trying to set up Sync to enable me to use bookmarks on my desktop and laptop. When I have either one using sync, I can open the bookmarks page using "show all bookmarks" "Bookmarks menu" .But when i try to navigate the page, the page locks up and I can not page up and down the page. the page seems to be locked. Any ideas or should I delete the account and attempt to start over?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Bookmark and show all history functions not working
After upgrading to FF20 the Bookmarks function button is not working. Star/bookmark this page/import from profiles list don't work. Can see previous bookmark lists in Profile but restore doesn't work. Also when opening history I get the short list but "show all history" brings up same blank library page every time.
Hello valleyman100, maybe it is problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks, see: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox Locked or damaged places.sqlite]

thank you -
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.
