Bookmark visibility and 'icon' problem

Hello, very recently started to use Firefox rather than Chrome and it is taking a little time to learn so apologies if there is an obvious solution to this!!

I have been merrily adding bookmarks (after importing existing ones from Chrome) and they have all worked well (including inserting folders etc) until one to this site:

https://www.voipcheap.co.uk/dashboard

I have added an image to show 2 views on my Firefox installation to demonstrate.

I added it into a sub folder (I thought) but it did not appear. I added it directly to the main Bookmarks toolbar and it did not appear. I played around for a while and thought I had solved it - when looking at the Bookmarks in Sidebar view I can see a folder (that I created) and inside it is a bookmark to the site. Trying it to view it by clicking through from the main toolbar window does not show it.

I am lost at what might be the problem - so if anyone is willing to try adding the site as a favourite in various places and anything else, if it does work can you help me get it to work in my installation with any suggestions? Just for completeness, please add it first as a favourite on the toolbar directly where I could not get the basic globe icon to appear.

The only non standard thing I have done (on my desktop machine) is to add an extension that gives me colours rather than the standard greys but I have not used this yet on my laptop - the problem is the same but without the colours.
