Why do my bookmarks actually show up under bookmarks without opening a whole other dialog box?

Across top of Browser is : File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help

To open a saved bookmark I SHOULD be able to click on Bookmarks and a drop down list of ALL of my saved webpages are suppose to be there for me to scroll through and pick the one I want to load.

However, they are not there.

Instead I have to scroll down to Unsorted Bookmarks, click it so that a whole new dialog box is opened. The dialog box that you use to ORGANIZE the bookmarks. If I wanted to organize them, AGAIN, I would have gone there on purpose. But all I actually want to do is something much more simple, like click on the saved bookmark for, lets use Facebook as an example, and have my browser ACTUALLY go to Facebook, not my organizing screen! Grrrr!!!!! This was fine until I had to reinstall Mozilla!!!!!

Sounds that all your bookmarks are in the unsorted folder if you can only access them by clicking that item.

You can move them out of that folder to the Bookmarks Menu folder to have them appear in the Bookmarks drop down list.
