I am running Mac os 10.6.8 and Firefox 6.0.1 on a MacBook Pro and on a desktop Macintosh. The large computer displays a list of bookmarks when you click on the uppermost Bookmarks menu.

The MacBook Pro displays the following when you click on the Bookmarks word in the top menu: "Show all Bookmarks, Bookmark this Page, Bookmark all Tabs and an icon with a blue dot next to Bookmarks Toolbar with an arrow to the right and below that it says Unsorted Bookmarks. There is no display of the list of bookmarks from which I can chose as I do on the larger desktop macintosh computer.

How can I get the list of bookmarks to show as a list when I click the Bookmarks menu?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You can also try to move (delete) the Firefox plist file.
See How .plist files become corrupt and troubleshooting the results Go to "Library > Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).
