Cannot delete a bookmark in "Unsorted Bookmarks". I tried "resetting" of firefox.
I can't delete individual "Unsorted Bookmarks." I have no problem to delete bookmarks from the Menu "Favorites".
I have a lot of these bookmarks that I can't remove. They just clutter up the drop down bookmarks menu and make it almost unusable.
No need to delete the entire category "Unsorted Bookmarks", although this would be an acceptable solution.
COR - el: thanks for the quick response. It has not solved the problem, but something that you said does not lead to a solution.
To reformulate the problem, there was a lot of bookmarks, which appeared in the drop-down menu that simply cannot be deleted.
I was able to delete 'normal' bookmarks by bringing their respective pages on the left by clicking on the star in "Edit this bookmark" which appears near the right end of the URL field and then clicking "Delete bookmark" from the context menu that appears. In this case, the star would be yellow and in the popup, the folder would be called bird "Bookmarks Menu".
Where I couldn't delete the bookmark, the star would be white and the record would be qualified bird "Unsorted Bookmarks."
It made no difference if I started firefox in safe or normal mode.
It had been years that I used the bookmarks bar and I had completely forgotten it existed. You mentioned it in your response, however, and I decided to try it. Bingo! In the sidebar, I could with the right Bookmark button and then click 'remove '. It worked even for bookmarks that I could not remove any other way.
I don't know if it is a bug in version 16 of firefox, or if somehow my bookmarks file had accumulated incorrect metadata for many years to update version.
In any case, for me, is a problem solved.

Cannot delete a bookmark - why?
I select a bookmark that I want to delete, then click the star, then select delete the bookmark. The bookmark is still there. Several attempts with the same bookmark, multiple failures.
In addition, if I < display all bookmarks > none of my favorites unsorted is shown. By clicking on "sorted bookmarks' folder does nothing, does nothing.
Hi Gandyman,
Glad to see things seem to have improved. You obviously sorted the removal of the recalcitrant bookmark.
I guess you also sorted:
"Further, If I <show all bookmarks> none of my unsorted bookmarks is shown. Clicking on the "unsorted bookmarks" folder gives nothing, does nothing."
As you mention now
"I have a LOT of unsorted bookmarks, and they all work fine."

Cannot delete the bookmark, or an entire folder of favorites in the sidebar left
With the help of Menu-bookmarks: Edit this bookmark: I get the button Delete and an OK button. Tried both, they do not remove it. I use c. 41.0.2.
With the help of Star of the toolbar: delete Bookmark button and done the button, the two do not delete it.
You can't right click on the item and use Delete in the context menu? This is the usual way to do this.

Information system: Ubuntu 11.10, running Firefox-trunk 12.0a1 (2012-01-21), cannot remove bookmarks.
One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

upgraded to 3.6, bookmarks, lost, lost the toolbar bookmarks, bookmarks library, lost cannot go to the previous backup, error message. Not have Torbutton. Cannot save new bookmarks. AutoFill remembers. Don't forget the story is about.
I got this yesterday after the 3.6.4 problem upgrade. I'm not sure if I saw all the things you did, but I have def lost all bookmarks and the back button. I fixed it by:
1. go to the Firefox profile directory, which for me is here but 1st bit will be different for you as mine work specific:C:\Documents and Settings\U049177\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\soez0lvk.default
2 delete places.sqlite and places.sqlite - journal3. start Firefox (you should have the back button now works but not Favorites, he recreated to these 2 files)
4. in the menu, bookmarks and then organize bookmarks, then button import and backup, then restore, then select a day to restore from. You should now have your backups Firefoxes bookmarks.
Hope this works for you

I deleted my bookmarks menu in the toolbar. How can I get that back?
I did something (I don't know what) and my bookmarks menu icon disappeared from the toolbar (next to the button on the home page).
How can I recover it?
I am running Windows 7.29 of Firefox and later versions have the interface Australis which seems different from the UI in Firefox 28 and older versions.
- With the interface Australis orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three Menu of Firefox button at the right end of the Navigation bar on the bar
A consequence of this new menu button is that you can no longer hide the Navigation toolbar - There is a star as the button at the right end of the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show bookmarks" button next to it to open bookmarks in a menu drop-down
- It is still possible to have the bar of menus visible through the context menu on toolbars to have menus like the bookmarks menu
If you have removed (deleted), this bookmark star combined and see your bookmarks button then looking in the window customize via the menu of Firefox 3 button bar.
