Need to merge Other Bookmarks with Bookmarks Toolbar and delete any dupes

Firefox Bookmarks

I'm running Firefox 153.1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 25H2. I have a LOT of bookmarks. Possibly over 3,000. Somehow over time I've managed to create a LOT of bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks folder unintentionally. I need to move and merge those to the correct Bookmarks Menu and ideally eliminate any dupes. Everywhere I look for a process to accomplish this I seem to get a lot of "can't be done". Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

"I need to move and merge those to the correct Bookmarks Menu" Open the Firefox bookmark manager, shift + click to select multiple bookmarks in Other Bookmarks. Drag them inside Bookmarks Menu.

To eliminate duplicates: If you right click on a folder you can select "Sort by Name", which sorts the bookmarks inside by alphabetical order. That can help you easily find duplicates. But since you have so many bookmarks, you may want to try an extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-dupes/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmarks-clean-up/

Mark, Thanks for responding. I'm a bit confused about the various Bookmark options in the Bookmarks drop list in Firefox. Tapping on Bookmarks in the menu bar at the top I see the view attached below labeled "Manage Bookmarks". The last 3 items are "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Other Bookmarks" and "Mobile Bookmarks" (I do use FF on my phone). How should I properly save a Bookmark, where do I save it and how do I later see it? Thanks.
