Scrambled bookmark hierarchies

Somehow I buried the "All Bookmarks" folder underneath another folder called the same thing. However when I go to save new URLs, Firefox only recognizes the buried folder. The buried folder has the three official Firefox Toolbar menu, my bookmarks menu,but they are called "(no tiltle)". Below all that I have a copy of all my folders and bookmarks - these are an exact duplicate of the folders in the buried folder.

The problem now is that when I go to "save" a bookmark, Firefox saves it in the buried folder since it is the only one it recognizes.

I tried moving the buried folder up in the hierarchy, but Firefox will not allow it.

What do you suggest I do?

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

"This can be a problem..."? I already said that. IT IS a problem. I need a way to bring the official folder up in the hierarchy. Does anyone know how to do this?

Cor-el, I finally did understand what your message was, and did read the URL you posted, and I was able to solve the problem. This case can be considered CLOSED! Thank You.
