There is no "Organize Bookmarks ..." under the bookmarks pulldown

I am trying to import FF3.6 bookmarks into FF4, but there is no "organize bookmarks..." in the pulldown. Che pasa?

For Firefox 4, the "Organize Bookmarks" item has been changed to "'''''Show All Bookmarks'''''" to open the Library window.

I have two versions of my bookmarks under the bookmarks menu

I have 2 versions of my bookmarks in the bookmarks window - one after the other, but I can only access the first one in "show all bookmarks" Unfortunately, the second one is the one that is being updated when I save new sites. How can I get rid of the first version that shows up when I try to access bookmarks from the bookmarks menu?

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

I am running Firefox 6 but cannot find "Organize Bookmarks" under the "Bookmarks" tab.

I am trying to export my bookmarks to Internet Explorer and the Help program says I should have "Organize Bookmarks" as a choice.

"Organize Bookmarks was renamed to Show All Bookmarks in Firefox 4+ versions."
Should be real simple to change it back or change it to something meaningful ;)
No way would I have realized this w/o reading this post. What happened to intuitively user friendly Firefox ?
I prefer it the old way.

Help still shows Export to be under the Bookmarks/Organize Menu. There is no Organize in my copy of 5.0. How do I export my bookmarks?

I want to export an HTML copy of my bookmarks to restore them after a soon-to-be reset of my machine.
Help says to do it the way I have in the past, but there is no Organize option in the Bookmark menu.
How do I export my bookmarks, so that I can later import them?

Thanx. That solved the problem.
It would be nice to fix the Help page, on this... when they get a chance.

I followed the instructions to import my favorites from Explorer, but there is not file for Explorer under the Bookmark tab.

There is no "organize bookmarks" in the bookmark menu?

I am trying to import bookmarks from google chrome and followed your instructions on exporting bookmarks to a file in "My Documents". The file (google bookmarks) is there. When I try the second part of your instructions and click on bookmarks in Firefox there is no "organize bookemarks" in the drop down menu.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

After upgrading to Firefox 8 there are no bookmarks in the sidebar when it is displayed. The bookmarks are there under the Bookmarks menu. History appears in the sidebar

There are no bookmarks in the bookmarks sidebar. The only way I can access my bookmarks is by clicking on the Bookmarks Menu. All booksmarks and folder then show up in the drop down menu - but when I go to organise them, there is nothing listed under Organise. My history will show up in the sidebar. I can't find a way to sort my bookmarks, and don't know if I can save a new bookmark.

Open or close History Sidebar --> CTRL+H 
Open or close Bookmarks Sidebar --> CTRL+B
Click the small "x" to the right of the word History or Bookmarks in the Sidebar will close that sidebar 
If the History Sidebar is open, CTRL+B will close it and open the Bookmarks Sidebar 
If the Bookmarks Sidebar is open, CTRL+H will close it and open the History Sidebar

Under the bookmarks tab, I do not have a tab for Organize Bookmarks. My prior version of Firefox had that, but it does not show up in version 4. How do I get that tab back?

I am trying to get to the Organize Bookmarks tab and can not find it since I upgraded to Firefox version 4. It used to be under the bookmarks tab, but does not show now. How do I get it back?

If this works, I will be grateful. When I downloaded firefox 4 all my book marks and their structure (folders subfolders sub-subfolders) as well.
Tags might be better, huh?

I can no longer find the organize bookmarks export to HTML item under the Bookmarks tab, in v where did it go? Using version 4.01

I store and synchronize my bookmarks using HTML exporting it between laptop and other systems and I can no longer find it in the usual place under the Bookmarks tab. Using help just directed me to the usual location Bookmarks>Organize Bookmarks> Export HTML> which does not appear in my version of Firefox 4.01.

You're welcome.

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this?

All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this? I have turned off Browsing History.

Firefox doesn't bookmark pages automatically to the Unsorted folder unless you click the star on the location bar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

I have imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites, cookies, history and they are not available after importing under the Bookmarks tab. How do I find the import of favorites in firefox?

When importing from Microsoft Internet Explorer I have successfully completed and clicked on finish. I am not finding my favorites under the Bookmarks tab. I have shut down Firefox and and restarted the browser and still not finding favorites. I also restarted the computer still not finding favorites imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer. How can I find the data imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac: the Bookmarks menu has stopped showing new bookmarks, although the Bookmark This Page seems to work - is there a limit to the number of bookmarks that Firefox can show?

Did you place the new bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder?

Cant create bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel

Hi guys
I cannot create any bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel. When ever I add a website to the bookmark toolbar panel, it is not displayed in the bookmarks toolbar panel. If I go to bookmarks menu and check under bookmarks toolbar, all the websites are there! I have attached links to the screenshots.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmark toolbar permanently and delete it from the Recntly Bookmarked list?

It seems to me that in a previous version of Firefox that one could add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar and have it stay there.
I like to keep things neat and tidy. Now when I delete this bookmark from the Recently Bookmarked list (or the Unsorted Bookmarks list), Firefox insists only deleting it from the Bookmarks Toolbar as well.
How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar and keep it there? Am I required to keep it in the Recently Bookmarked and/or Unsorted Bookmarks list in order to have it remain on the Bookmarks Toolbar?

* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.

There is no "Organize Bookmarks ..." under the bookmarks pulldown
