When I enter that address and get to that page, the second "enter" produces no result. There is a text box on the page that says "There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page" If I try to edit the page it tells me a log-in is required. Using the log-in and password I use to post a question on FireFox Help doesn't work. What now? Signed - Inept

You have to type '''about:config''' in the browser's address bar, press enter and when the page opens press enter again or click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' and in the Filter on the top start typing '''smartbookmarks'''. In the results below, double-click the preference '''browser.places.smartBookmarksVersion''' and type 0 (zero) and '''OK'''.

That works/worked. Thank you.

You are welcome :)

Like gold. Right there if you know exactly where to look. Thanks for the directions.

Thank you, it worked. An addition for lay-people: shut down Firefox and start new, then it is there! cocomai
