I have a blank bookmark that cannot be deleted or moved. Have moved out other bookmarks in its folder, renamed the folder and tried to delete folder, but folder will not delete. All other folders can be moved up and down in the bookmarks list, but not this one.

Operating system

Windows XP

1. Have you tried using the Library window to delete it? (Go to Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks)

2. You are using a very old version of Firefox, that is not being updated with security patches. You should update to the latest version. See Update Firefox to the latest release
