I set up the Sync function between my desktop and laptop, and there have been issues with toolbar bookmarks disappearing and then the edit function tells me there are four of them that need to be deleted. I am trying to edit my bookmarks, but I can't delete them, there is no longer an 'Organize Bookmarks' option under 'Bookmarks' in the pull down menu.

That menu item was renamed to Show All Bookmarks in Firefox 4, and it continues with Firefox 5.

But why make a change that only succeeds in being confusing ?

IMO, the new name is more appropriate, as the Library window wasn't the "ticket" for actually "organizing" bookmarks permanently. Views > Sort only works in the Library window and for only as long as the Library window is open; it doesn't "sort" for the Menu bar drop-down or the Bookmarks sidebar views and when you close the Library window the "sort" disappears from even the Library.
