My bookmarks show when I press the small icon, but do not show when I select "Show all bookmarks". Why?

Bookmarks show when I click the small icon (the one that has the wintip Show your bookmarks), and I can move down the drop-down list on pressing this icon and select a bookmark that I want. However, when I gor to the bottom of the drop-down list and select "Show all bookmarks" the Library GUI showsthat the bookmarks are not there. Hmmmmm.... mysterious. What have I done wrong?

Despite the name, "Show all bookmarks" should only show three items "Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", and "Unsorted Bookmarks." This is the expected behavior of that menu item. If you are seeing something else, please post a screenshot of the issue.

To open the Bookmarks Manager, press the Alt or F10 key bring up the tool bar, and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control>(Mac:<Command>) <Shift> B.
