Empty 'other bookmarks' folder
How can I empty the 'other bookmarks' folder? It's full of pages evidently stored due to 'mis-clicks'.
Thanks.

Is there any way to add multiple tags to a bookmark without having to reopen the tool?
For example, I bookmark a lot of mods for the sims, so I need to tag it both sims & mods. But whenever I add the first tag, as soon as I hit the spacebar to add the n… (read more)
For example, I bookmark a lot of mods for the sims, so I need to tag it both sims & mods. But whenever I add the first tag, as soon as I hit the spacebar to add the next tag, the little window closes. I have to reopen it to add the rest of the tags, and it only happens the first time I try to tag something. I don't know if this is actually a bug or just a default option.

When I bookmark a site the bookmark box appears. if I select the down arrow next to the bookmark toolbar it causes the bookmark toolbar to appear under my location bar. I then have to set my cursor on that toolbar and uncheck the bookmark toolbar. It has never done that before the last update and if I leave the arrow down and scroll down to place my new bookmark where I want it to be then that bookmark toolbar does not appear. I can't understand why this happens as it never did it prior to the last Firefox update 49.0.1. If I wanted the bookmark toolbar I would set it myself but I do not want it and it annoys me when I have to deselect it from the view menu toolbars. As I said it did not do this prior to the last update. What do I have to do to stop this from happening?

hi!
i need to restore a folder i recently deleted by mistake. But since then, i have made some important changes to my bookmarks, and i don't want to lose those! So is there a way i can do a search for this folder in my recently-deleted bookmarks backup, and restore only that one?
also, is there a way to "expand all" and contract all bookmark folders without having to go through each one individually? I find myself constantly wishing for a way to do this.
also,
i sometimes need to find a folder and have much difficulty--
is there a way to quickly search for a bookmark folder by name? (not just individual bookmarks)
thanks so much!
Move "Bookmarks Toolbar" to the bottom of the Bookmarks menu

Since the very purpose of a Bookmarks Toolbar is to make those bookmarks highly available, it is a waste of space to /also/ have them at the top of the Bookmarks menu. How can I move the "Bookmarks Toolbar" entry in the Bookmarks menu out of the way (for example, to the bottom of the menu).
Even better if I can apply the same solution to the "Other Bookmarks" menu entry. Other bookmarks are those I care too little about to bother sorting in my bookmarks list - why are they given the highest access ease?

Any idea how to fix?
Following a clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04, the bookmark dropdown list no long responds to keyboard input of an initial letter.

I asked this question a couple of months ago. The keyboard selection function worked just fine under 10.4. It still works just fine under Windows 7. Why would it stop working under 16.04? Another wrinkle: the right mouse button goes directly to the URL instead of displaying a menu. Thus I can't get follow the suggestion posted to another query seeking to get rid of the "recently selected" group (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1140338). How could I be the only person affected? Any illumination greatly appreciated.

I recently added half-a-dozen new items to my list of Bookmarks in Firefox. As usual, they were added at the bottom of the existing list. That is where I want them. However, suddenly I noticed today that these half-a-dozen recently added Bookmarks now appear at the top of the list AS WELL as at the bottom. When I attempt to delete the ones at the top, the ones at the bottom disappear too. I tried deleting them and then reloading them as new Bookmarks, but they automatically get added at the top now instead of at the bottom. Can anyone tell me what is going on here ? I want to be able to add new Bookmarks at the BOTTOM of the list and not at the top. Please keep it simple, since I am a bit of a " newbie " at all of this ! Many thanks.

I was going through my library and found the option 'import and restore', I saw that there were things from yesterday and last week but I had no idea what. I was going through it and was wondering what is being restored there? Can it even be pages from years ago or is it only recent things?
Thanks in advance
