Besides being a nuisance, I think all these unsorted bookmarks are slowing down Firefox, particularly the Bookmarks toolbar, considerably. How can I remove them? I've started using Chrome because any time I try to use my Bookmarks Library or Sidebar, the whole thing locks up because of these unsorted bookmarks.

I have Sync, and this problem is universal across all of my sync'ed computers - XP, Vista, and Windows 8. All are running the latest version of Firefox. This has been a problem for over a year, and at least 4 different versions of Firefox.

This is a new PC running Windows 7 and iGoogle is my home page. My desktop short cut icons used to have "personalised" pics but after a day or two using the new PC they all changed to either the Firefox logo or a little map of the world. Why did this happen and how do I get the old logos back? I have a screen shot saved on my desktop if anyone wants to see it.

When I start up firefox, the original window displays my bookmark toolbar. But when I click a link where firefox opens a new window, not a new tab, the new window doesn't display my bookmark toolbar. I made sure that it was toggled to be on, and the original window has it, but the new one does not. I don't know how to fix it and it's really irritating because I use the toolbar a lot.

I have Windows 7 and Firefox 18.0.1 -- I did a Windows "Restore your computer to an earlier time", which I have done before with no trouble. This time, however, though I kept all my desktop shortcuts and IE toolbar icons, I lost ALL my Firefox toolbar icons and everything in my bookmark dropdown menu. Is it possible to restore them, and if so, how? I've looked through the Firefox support section, but don't know which (if any) of the solutions would apply to my situation. Thanks.

what you describe in your help section :

"Click the Bookmarks button Bookmarks button win 2 on the right side of the navigation toolbar and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window.

While you have the Library window open, you can also drag bookmarks into other folders like the Bookmarks Menu folder which will show your bookmarks in the menu under the Bookmarks button Bookmarks button win 2 . If you add bookmarks to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder they'll show up on the Bookmarks Toolbar. "

when we press show all bookmarks The Library box came out but no bookmark is shown at all


there is bookmars toolbar bookmarks menu etc... But no actual bookmarks and cant open any of the option provided

When making a new bookmark, there is the ability to choose a folder in which to put the bookmark. Usually it also shows the last 5 folders which were used. Is it possible to have a search box in this dialogue, so that I can search the bookmark folders which I have, and once it shows up in the options, I can store the bookmark in that folder. This would save me from having to open the full bookmark folders list and then scrolling down to the appropriate folder - which are not alphabetically arranged and less used folders might not be easy to find. Any add-on helps in doing this ?
