Using 52.3.0, and I cannot for the life of me determine how to get rid of a useless folder. It is a folder that I created, but every article I've seen refers to SHOW ALL BOOKMARKS and then to select DELETE from the ORGANIZE menu once you've selected what you want to delete. This sounds great in theory, but there is no DELETE option under ORGANIZE. Or anywhere else for that matter.

You really should be able to delete it with a right-click option, but that's not available, either.

HI   !

After you've clicked 'Organize' and scroll down, you should see 'Delete' between ' Paste' and 'Select All' - but you don't  ?

If you aren't able to delete this folder the check for problems with the places.sqlite database (bookmarks and history) in the Firefox profile folder.
