How to remove unlinked labels from bookmark organization ?

Deleting accumulated labels for deleted bookmarks

Good day,

I organize my bookmarks progressively, categorizing them by folders and labels. The labels are stored (libraries - above all the bookmarks) within their respective folder "labels". I deleted some bookmarks a few days ago and noticed that I am unable to delete the labels which have accumulated and been automatically recorded in the "Labels" folder.

How can I delete these numerous labels that are no longer linked to any bookmarks ?

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

‘New update for Firefox removed my bookmark menu from side bar. When I open FIrefox, my bookmarks are gone, but a one inch vertical, useless space appears. Please help.’ for ‘Firefox’

Been using Firefox for many years. Configured the Firefox Browser to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open Firefox browser. About a week ago that configuration stopped working and I can not re-set it to automatically open the Sidebar Bookmarks when I open the Mozilla browser. When I search online I see I am not the only user of Firefox who has developed this same problem. I suspect it occurred when Firefox updated their browser. Would appreciate getting that feature restored as it is annoying to have to open the Sidebar Bookmarks every time I open and use Firefox browser. No, I am not going to leave it open when I stop using my computer to solve the problem. I close all my apps and shut my computer down after using it. If this cannot be fixed my only alternative is to stop using Firefox and find a new browser.

If I am doing something wrong please advise!

Until last Friday when i opened Firefox on my PC (Windows 10) i had the bookmarks sidebar on the left hand side as i "pinned" it there with the view>sidebar>bookmarks" function but now every time i open Firefox the sidebar is gone and i have to add it every single time which is very time consuming and annoying, could you please help?

Basically now every time i open a new window i have to go to "view>sidebar>bookmarks" to see my bookmarks sidebar or click on the "show sidebars" icon on the menu bar, this never happened before as the bookmarks sidebar was always displayed and pinned in every new window (as i would like it to be!), please advise, thank you!

As in title. If bookmarks sidebar is visible and "Clear history when Firefox closes" setting is enabled when Firefox is closed, the bookmarks sidebar is not visible at next Firefox start.

I have a problem with a bookmark i want to drag in. On a website i have used for many years there's this one bookmark that's like an extension for a website. Thing is, it works perfect on other search engines but now when i switched i want it here on firefox too! I can't drag it in the bookmarks tab thing. It's a very long javascript code, but it's very useful. could anyone please help me fix this problem?

Just updated to Firefox for PC version 138.0.1 and lost a whole bunch of bookmarks, many of which I hadn't had time to save yet. Also, I can no longer save a bookmark. Would appreciate any help with this!

I know about using "sort by name" with the right-click context menu in the bookmarks folder. I've used it many times in the past. However, I have a folder with a larger number of bookmarks and "sort by name" doesn't do anything. The new unsorted ones are at the bottom. I've cleared the cache but that didn't help either.

Is there some upper limit of bookmarks in a folder for "sort by name" to work?

Installed Firefox 138.0+Linuxmint1+Virginia as an update on my Linux mint computers, and now the bookmark toolbar is gone. I have right clicked the menu bar and set Bookmark toolbar to "always show", but it does not show. I have gone into settings as well. What did version 138.0 do with my bookmark toolbar?
