My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu.

My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu. I can only reach it though Organize Bookmarks function. How do I get it into the bookmarks tree?

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.

How to display newly added bookmarks on top of the list in Unsorted Bookmarks? (not in Bookmark Manager window)

I have hundreds of bookmarks.The Bookmarks Toolbar is filled.I made a shortcut of the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and placed it in on the Bookmarks Toolbar.Whenever I click the star to add a bookmark, it adds one to the real Unsorted Bookmarks, which add a copy of that bookmarks into the folder named Unsorted Bookmarks which is on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
When I click on the Unsorted Bookmarks(both original and shortcut folder), it displays the oldest bookmarks on top, which honestly makes no sense to me because the user has to scroll a lot to get to the newest bookmarks, which are more likely to be used than the old ones that have been sitting there for a long time.Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by a reversed chronological order and display newly added ones on top of the list ?
I am aware that you can do this in Bookmarks Manager window(called Library?) but it requires too many steps and it's time consuming and not easy to use in general.I'd rather click on the folder on Bookmarks Toolbar to open my bookmarks, but they show old ones on top.
Thanks !

Hmm, you might need to create a "smart folder" for this. You may have noticed some blue folders in your bookmarks such as "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked". These show the results of a query run against your bookmarks or history (Places database) and you can create your own queries with a little elbow grease.
So one possibility might be to create a custom "Recently Bookmarked" folder that extends beyond the current limit of 10. I gave the steps for creating a 20-item version of this folder in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/934205#answer-358492
That example searched ''all'' bookmarks and not specifically Unsorted Bookmarks. To create a new "smart folder" for Unsorted Bookmarks, you could try this:
(1) Select and copy the following places search query:
place:queryType=1&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&sort=12&excludeQueries=1
''(For definitions of those parameters and many more, see: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Places_query_URIs])''
(2) Expand the Bookmarks Menu (e.g., from the toolbar button or menu bar, or in the sidebar or Library dialog), right-click the first bookmark, and choose New Bookmark
(3) In the Location field, paste the query (Ctrl+v or right-click > Paste)
(4) In the Name, enter something like Unsorted Desc (for descending order) or the name of your choice. Then click Add.
(5) Drag the new bookmark to the desired location on the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you are using the menu, click and drag and hover over Bookmarks Toolbar until it expands. Once it is on the toolbar, you can easily move it again to the desired location. During the first move, Firefox will recognize it as a query-type bookmark so that is why I have you create it on the menu and move it to the toolbar.

How can I get unsorted bookmarks on the "Bookmarks" menu so I do not have to open the "Library" It is a pain in the ***.

When I click on Bookmarks, folders I created are shown but I can not move the Unsorted Bookmarks to that menu. I have to open the Library to see it. I have copied it to a folder but it does not update it when a new bookmark is created. I know I can open the sidebar to see it but I do not want to loose the space on my browser window. Is there a way to do it. I have used FireFox for years and the is only time I have had to ask for help.

This add-on will add the Unsorted Bookmarks folder to the Bookmarks menu. <br />

I am not able to delete all the bookmarks that I select to delete by clicking on the star. Most that won't delete seem to be in the unsorted bookmark category. I have tried many times and they just won't delete. What can I do.?

When I follow the directions about deleting bookmarks by clicking on the bookmark, then clicking on the blue star and then clicking on delete bookmark, it will work with some but not all my bookmarks. I have noticed that the ones that won't work appear to be marked in unsorted bookmarks rather than bookmarks menu.
I have tried many different ways to delete these bookmarks but nothing works. Some of these bookmarked pages need to be signed in and I no longer have a way to sign in or want to sign in.
I just want to delete the bookmark. Please help.

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

I just added a new computer and it did not download my bookmarks correctly. Folders were not created and no links except for the a"Unsorted Bookmarks" that seems to show most of my bookmarks.

I was able to add the new computer's browser with my sync key, but when I tried to sync, nothing appeared to happen. Unsorted Bookmarks shows a lot of links that are mine, but not all of them. Hard to tell, Unsorted Bookmarks is useless and I wish I could hide or get rid of it.

In case anyone else has this problem. I just went to the computer that has my complete set of bookmarks. Selected Options-Sync-Manage Account-Reset Sync-Replace all other devices with this computer's data and it worked. All bookmarks are now present on my newest machine.

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?

Java crash when clicking Bookmarks Unsorted Bookmarks & APC PowerChute Business Edition in a tab

So, as the question states clicked on Unsorted Bookmarks (after adding a bunch of new bookmarks), while in a tab APC PowerChute Business Edition - Quick Status was running in the background, its a dashboard that refreshes frequently displaying status of APC connected to a server.
In this context Java froze the computer, mouse moved jerkily for 10-15 seconds then froze as well. After waiting a few minutes I was forced to hard boot the laptop. After logging back in, there was a Java error log called hs_err_pid5280.log on my desktop. Here is half of the log:

How do I see, organise and delete unsorted bookmarks? I am using Firefox 3.6.6 on a Mac with OS X 10.5.8

How do I see, sort and delete unsorted bookmarks in Firefox 3.6.6? Using Mac OS X 10.5.8. All bookmarks not in folders already seem to be in a lump called unsorted bookmarks in the Library but I can't open this to see them. I have deleted some from the bookmarks menu via the blue star it does not work with sites without an icon. pls help

I have this same problem. I want the ability to remove links from the unsorted bookmarks or the entire category altogether.
If there is no resolution, I could delete all Firefox files after saving my important bookmarks to Safari then come back and reload Firefox.
Why Mozilla does not take this concern whole heartily I do not know.
I have seen complaint about this dating back over two years.

"Edit this Bookmark" not working with two separate "bugs" in 8.1 and 10041 partitions (Nightly). FF x86 ( on Vista) works correctly.

An older bug is when I try to create a new folder; the currently selected folder becomes "edit mode"(highlighted) instead of creating a "New folder" in edit mode. Clip 1.
The newer bug is when I select a folder in which to place the desired shortcut; after [Done] the shortcut stays in [Unsorted Bookmarks]
Clips 2-5 in order.
This has been happening for about 3 days now and persists through nightly updates. Currently 40.0a1 (2015-04-26)

There is always the possibility that things are broken with Nightly alpha 1 builds.
It can take some time before those regressions are fixed, but that is the risk you run.

It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
If the problem persits, please report back here.

Bookmarks are either duplicated ort moved to the unsorted bookmarks folder; some are deleted and older deleted ones return.

I posted before how many bookmarks are deleted, duplicated, etc. ut what I am seeing now is that many are moved to Unsorted Bookmarks, Some are still being deleted, duplicated and ones deleted months ago return (happening less now). How do I prevent Firefox from moving bookmarks to that folder without my "permission and how do I delete automated backups as of the bookmarks (which I believe may be part of the problem). Note this happens after every PC cold start, has also happened while I was looking at it and all of the usual suggestion DO NOT WORK: deleting the "places" file, running that add on that supposed to fix it, etc.: ou can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Need to delete unsorted bookmarks folder

FF3 brought us the "unsorted bookmarks" and associated star in the bar fail. I got rid of the start using userchrome.css file. I need to DELETE the "unsorted bookmarks" folder permanently and forever. If this cannot be done it should be added to FF4 ASAP. When xmarks syncs with ie8 etc this stupid "unsorted bookmarks" folder keeps replicating and I NEVER use it!!!!!!!

I have the same problem.
I would like to completely eliminate the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder in all instances and cases.
I would also like for my "bookmarks menu" folder to be my default folder when I double-click the yellow star.
gareasy's solution removes the folder from the bookmarks menu only, and does not effect the default folder that bookmarks are saved into.
cor-el's solution had no effect at all.
I know there is some genius out there that has a solution.
Heeeeeeelp!
(I see many people have this same problem too.)
Thanks in advance.

How do I get my bookmarks to list when I hit the bookmarks tab. I have to go to unsorted bookmarks to find them

In the old firefox, when I hit the bookmarks tab they were listed on the side bar. Now when I hit the bookmarks tab I have to go to the unsorted bookmarks and pick my bookmark from there. How do I get them to ist in the side bar like before?

In the Firefox 4.0 betas there are two different Bookmarks '''buttons''' (not "tabs"), The one that automatically appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the orange Firefox button, is for the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down. The Bookmarks button that is in the Customize Palette is for opening and closing the Bookmarks Sidebar. https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
