You may have dropped the bookmark in the wrong folder.

Did you try to look for it?


If you haven't closed Firefox yet then see if you can use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) to undo this action.

What I meant is that the folder disappeared.

If the folder accidentally got hidden from you than do the following:

  • Go to view options of my computer.
  • Open to the folder options.
  • Go to view.
  • Uncheck all the hidden options. (as shown in the picture)
  • Press ok.

Now see that if the folder appeared. HOPE IT WORKS :)

Are you using Sync?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.


Note that you can move folders as well.
