Firefox bookmark help

[(RIP) willstatt]

I've got about 50 bookmark folders on my PC (firefox) However, when I come to bookmark a page, it only gives me a choice of maybe 6 or so of my folders to add the new bookmark to. I've tried the 'chose' option, but still i can't get a full list of my folders. Drives me bloody mad!

Any ideas?

When you choose "Choose" you should get a slider on the right of the short list. Are you on the latest version?

You need to click on the down-pointing triangle to the right of the bookmark folder drop down - it'll give you the full list then.

Hi Packer and Stolzy. Thanks for replies.

I've done both things you suggest, but when I click that little down arrow, only 6 or so of my folders are shown, and I can't scroll down or anything to see the rest.

Normally, if you click in the folder box it will give you a subset of the available folders. If you then click on the down pointing triangle immediatly to the right of the folders box it expands to show all the folders.

There should be a scroll bar on the right of the expanded box.

Presumably you can see the folders in 'organise bookmarks'?

Hi Stolzy... it's the scroll bar that's missing! It's there on my PC at work, but not on this one! I've checked and I'm on the latest verstion of ffox. How weird... any ideas?

Does sound weird, can you see the folders in 'organise bookmarks'?

Have you just transferred from IE and were the bookmarks from IE?

Click Bookmark - Bookmark this page - click first arrow on right of Folder "bookmarks menu" - highlight choose. You should now see all your folders.

I had been having the same problem till I saw this post and decided to try and solve it, this works for me hope it works for you too.

Hi Hank. Thanks for the try, but it still doesn't work.... just shows my top 6 folders, and no scroll bar on the right to get at the rest... F**king weird and bloody annoying.

May have to uninstall/reinstall FFox and see if it makes any diff. what you think?

If you click the "bookmarks" button at the top of the page, then select "organise bookmarks" (or just do ctrl+shift+B), what do you get?
Do you see the list of bookmark directories/folders on the left of the dialog?

Hi Redboots:

In the left hand box I get (from the top)

History

All tags

Bookmarks
Bookmarks Toolbar
Bookmarks menu
Unsorted bookmarks


That's all
