Now that 41.0.1 fixes Bug 1206376, are the bookmarks automatically fixed or do I need to do something?

Yes, with that bug fixed you shouldn't this specific problem with creating a new bookmark.
Do you have issues with creating bookmarks?

- Bug 1206376 - Changing properties of a new bookmark while adding it acts on the last bookmark in the current container
Thank you, but what I'm asking is about bookmarks created before 41.0.1 when the bug was still not fixed -- will those bookmark issues be fixed after upgrading to 41.0.1? Or, will I need to do something?
Separate Issue; Your System Details shows;
Installed Plug-ins
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 15.8.20082
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.5.5"
Having more than one version of a program may cause issues.
You must remove the older programs. Then get the current full installer.
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Adobe Reader Version 2015.008.20082 Note: McAfee Security is offered in the download.
FredMcD: The reason I have 2 is because the older one is Acrobat Pro; the newer one is just the Reader. I can't afford to upgrade the Pro, but also want to make sure I have the latest Reader. (How did you know that's what I have?)
cor-el and FredMcD: Just wanted to make sure you understand my original question.
Thank you

Some of your system details are posted when you ask a question. No Personal Information Is Collected. Go to the top right of the page. Open ‘’’Question details’’’ At the bottom of that box, press ‘’’More system details’’’
The bug only occurred if you modified fields in the dialog to create a new bookmark via right-click context menu of the Bookmarks Toolbar like you see in the STR in the bug report. Bookmarks that were affected by this bug need to be repaired manually to undo the change. Affected bookmarks aren't repaired automatically. This issue should no longer happen.
Right, and I'm pretty sure that I did the things that would have caused issues
Since you don't normally assume that the bug issues may occur, i didn't pay attention at the time
How would I now fix these issues? Is there a way to know which of the numerous bookmark entries that I have were effected?
It seems to me the bug has not been resolved at all -- just going forward, but not the damage that was already done

These may help
Use with Extreme Caution;
Bookmark Duplicate Cleaner {web link} Scans for bookmark duplicates and allows you to delete them
Bookmarks Checker - check for bad links {web link}
Check favorites for broken or bad links. It checks for bad links and
displays a report if it finds something. Check for 404 links, timeout links.
The bug seems to have affected the name of the bookmark, so you can check if bookmark names look out of order.
