Chosen solution

Can you open the Bookmarks Manager?

You can find "Show your bookmarks" in the drop-down list that opens if you click the star on the location/address bar and "Show All Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks menu.

You should find a "New Folder" item in the Organize menu. That is the first button on the toolbar in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).

There are three main Bookmarks folders and bookmarks can only be created in one of those folders and its sub folders.

  • The "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the Bookmarks Toolbar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars).
  • The "Bookmarks Menu" folder stores bookmarks that show in the Bookmarks menu and are created via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or via "Bookmark This Link" in the right-click context menu.
  • The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores bookmarks that are created by clicking the star at the right end of the location bar.
