Where is "organize bookmarks" now?

You just made it impossible to remove unwanted sites from "bookmark"- i.e., the "organize bookmarks" item is now gone.
Why? More important, how do I delete bookmarked items I no longer want?

"Organize Bookmarks" was changed to "'''Show All Bookmarks'''" and they weren't happy with that so they were going to change it but I haven't seen anything more on that, probably won't get changed for some time because they really messed people up -- the ones that have no idea of where to ask for help. You can use the same methods that you used before, perhaps even improve them from the following two articles;
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox Sorting and rearranging bookmarks - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox Viewing the browsing history - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
Selecting, searching, and deleting is best described in the History article, and the Bookmarks article refers to those sections on the History article -- perhaps redundancy would have been better.
You have several choices for bringing up the Bookmarks Library Listing (directons on Windows)
# "Ctrl+Shift+B" using the keyboard shortcut
# "Firefox" button > Bookmarks (2nd column) > Show All bookmarks
# Bookmarks ("Alt+B") > Show All Bookmarks
# "Alt" > Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks
Keyboard shorcuts:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help]
* [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)]
You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0 and up, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

Why are many of my toolbar bookmarks suddenly missing, & why can't I designate where to put bookmarks now? Star won't accept double-clicks anymore.

All of a sudden yesterday I can no longer click the star twice to tell it where to put the bookmark, and even when I click it once it doesn't save the bookmark anywhere. Also many of my toolbar bookmarks are now suddenly missing. I've tried to restore bookmarks and it says it's unable to perform that function. Help!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Installed Firefox 4 on Mac OS X 10.6.7. (1) How can I delete icons it added to bookmarks toolbar so they'll all fit again? (2) Where is the Organize Bookmarks tool now?

Don't know what details you might want.

I'm not sure about the 'icons' added to bookmarks toolbars, but you can control your bookmarks using "Show All Bookmarks". That replaced 'Organize Bookmarks'. It will open the bookmark library & you should be able to rearrange, add, delete, etc from here.

I cannot find out where to organize my bookmarks in any of the bookmark dropdowns. I can only do it one by one. Is there a way to do mass organization?

In previous versions you could select organize bookmarks. In this version it is gone. I would imagine that since FF now can sync across multiple devices, the ability to organize from any of those becomes more important. Selecting one bookmark at a time to delete or move is too tedious for people with hundreds or thousands of bookmarks.

The way bookmarks are managed has not changed. You now access to the Library window by selecting Bookmarks > Show all bookmarks from the Firefox menu.
For more info, see:
* [[Sorting bookmarks]]
* [[Bookmark folders]]
Note: To prevent interferences between versions 3.6 and Beta, use a specific [[Managing profiles|profile]] for Firefox 4.0 Beta.

When I try to Bookmark a new page, I do not get the "Page Bookmarked or Edit This Bookmark" window. I t does place the site into my bookmarks but I have to go to "organize" bookmarks in order to put it where it belongs.

How are you saving a new bookmark?
There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox, the first 4 should offer to save the new bookmark in a folder:
1.
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, without opening the Edit this Bookmark dialog.)
5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks
or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

My changes made in "Organize Bookmarks" used to be automatically saved, now they are NEVER saved, and not button to specify "save"

It used to be that i could make changes such as sorting of folder bookmark listings in "organize bookmarks" and they would occur immediately in my Firefox browser. Now, for some reason, every time i make these changes in the Organize Bookmarks screen, nothing i've changed has any effect on my Firefox browser. There is no place in "organize bookmarks" to force a save, so there's no way for me to implement the changes. Don't understand why this worked before and does not now.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox and [[Sorting bookmarks]] |
SortPlaces: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9275
The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) is for displaying the bookmarks in different sorting orders (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.

I have a long list of bookmarks. They are not sorted. They do not appear anywhere in the "organize bookmarks" window. Where are they? I want to delete a bunch of them but can't find a way.

This is Firefox 3.6.8 and Mac OS 10.5.8.
Right clicking on a bookmark does nothing. I don't know if that is a Firefox version issue or a mouse issue, but the mouse can right click on the Mac OS desktop and get the usual menus.
It is possible for me to delete bookmarks which still point to an active web page because there I can use the star to edit the bookmark. That is way too cumbersome a process for the long list I have. Some are old and no longer point to an active page. The star comes up empty in those cases anyway and I can do nothing about the bookmark.
Bottom line is that I just need a way to see the whole list and choose the ones to delete.
I thought they should all show up in the unsorted bookmarks folder but it is empty. That may be the crux of the problem.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

There is no "Organize Bookmarks" on my Bookmark tab and I don't know how to import html bookmarks from old computer, which is now dead, per the instructions.

I saved my old bookmarks as part of my regular backup from my old computer. It died this week and I just bought a new computer. The instructions for importing an html file with bookmarks says to open the Organized Bookmarks tab under Bookmarks. My computer does not have this bookmark and I can't find anywhere else how to import the html file with my old bookmarks. The old computer used Windows XP and this one has Windows 7.

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu. The rest of the instructions will be the same.

What is the library section in the bookmarks toolbar used for now. I used to be able to organize my bookmarks here now the left pane in library under organize bookmarks is always empty.

Used to be able to organize bookmarks in the library section (left pane) but since upgrade this pane is always empty even if i try to add a folder or bookmark. Is there another way to organize without having to do this in the library section.

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

My firefox 4 bookmarks menu does not offer :Organize Bookmarks, so where do I find this feature?

My goal was to export my bookmarks menu to a memory chip, so there'd be a backup. i clicked on Bookmarks (firefox 4) and the menu of bookmarked items appeared, but the item Organize Bookmarks was not there. I searched around and eventually found an Organize tab in Library, but there was no clue about how to export the full menu to the memory chip. can you steer me to the appropriate place for starting the export process?

Use "Show all bookmarks" menu. It works same as "Organise bookmarks" menu in previous Firefox versions.

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.
Could you please click the "''Solved It''" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.
Thanks.

I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? Where are they?

I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? They are not in the Favorites folder which is in the local drive either.

1. The version of Firefox that you posted here with looks like Firefox 2.0, based on the UserAgent string this forum read from the browser being used. Is that what you updated from? 
''See this to fix your UserAgent string - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser ''
2. If you ever used a Firefox 3.0+ version in the last three years and then went back to the Firefox 2.0 version, the 3.6 version you now have is using your old bookmarks file from when you previously had a Firefox 3.0+ version in use.
3. Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder for storing bookmarks. Firefox bookmarks are stored in the Profile folder, in the file format appropriate to the version of Firefox being used. Firefox 2.0.0.x and earlier versions, it was the '''bookmarks.html''' file and in Firefox 3.0 and newer version, it is the '''places.sqlite''' file.
4. What do you want to do as far as bookmarks go? 
Import your IE Favorites into Firefox 3.6? 
Or, restore the bookmarks that you were recently using in Firefox 2.0?

Ff4- the "organize bookmarks" disappeared from the pulldown menu- where is it?

i need to exports bookmarks; the only way to accomplish is through "organize bookmarks"; no way to do that if it is not showing up in the Bookmarks pull-down menu. help!

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

In Firefox Bookmarks Menu, no "ORGANIZE BOOKMARKS" populates

Greetings all,
On my Macbook, I have Firefox and all of my bookmarks are contained within. I am attempting to export my bookmarks from Firefox, and then import them into my Safari browser. I have read just about every Firefox tutorial, and am still hitting a dead end. If I follow the Firefox tutorial, I am led to believe that clicking within the Firefox bar at the top of my computer, on "Bookmarks" (which is just to the right of "History"), I will see a drop down menu, and then I will be able to scroll down to "Organize Bookmarks" When I click on "Bookmarks", indeed there is a drop down menu....but unlike the tutorial, where you can plainly see "Organize Bookmarks", this does not appear for me. I am so stumped, and so frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all, so much
Jeff

Wow, you did good! Thank you for the heads up. I was able to import my bookmarks into Safari within a minute. I'm pretty thrilled, but I have one final hurdle. Don't know if there is a fix or not. On Firefox, I had "Yahoo" as my home page, whenever Firefox would open...I was also able to have all of my bookmarks appear on the left side, within my Yahoo homepage, whenever I would open the Firefox browser. To do that, within Firefox, I simply went up to Bookmarks, and clicked where it said "show in sidebar". I can't seem to do this in Safari. I'm pleased that I now can visit my bookmarks when in Safari, but it would sure be great to have them immediately at the ready when opening Safari.
Thanks again for helping out,
Jeff

I am trying to export my FF bookmarks using Organize Bookmarks -- export. However, it is only finding the IE favorites. How do I get it to export the FF bookmarks.

I want to export the bookmarks I see in my FF 3.6 browser. I follow the instructions of Bookmarks--> Organize Bookmarks--> export. However the list of Bookmarks it comes up with is from a Favorites folder that is associated with IE that I have on this computer. Why isn't it finding the FF BOOKMARKS exporting them. Are FF bookmarks just in some folder I can access?
Thanks

Thanks Cor-el. I will pursue the suggestions at the links you gave. In the meantime, I have intalled the add-in XMARKS on all of my machines to achieve my original goal of getting the bookmarks from my desk top (where I use FF) to my old laptop (where I still use IE). I now have dynamic synching of the bookmarks on all of the machines...at least if it works a advertised.

Where is "organize bookmarks" now?
