I have a bookmark folder in the toolbar. I changed the name of one of the bookmarks in that folder. The next time I tried to open the folder, I got (and continue to get) a message saying I am about to open 47 tabs, and this may slow firefox down. I only want to open the folder, not every bookmark in it, and can't figure out how to get it back to allowing me to do that.

Is that only happening if you click that folder button on the Bookmarks Toolbar or can't you open that folder in the sidebar (Ctrl+B) or bookmarks menu as well?

I hadn't tried in the sidebar, as I only have the folders in the toolbar at the top, but I think I was just stupid. I had tried restarting Firefox, and that didn't work, but not the computer. Last night I shut down and today it's working fine. So I'm still not sure what the problem was, but it seems to be fixed. Thank you
