I need to delete a bookmark to a site that no longer exists. Since it won't load, I don't get the star. Since it's not in a folder, it won't show on the Show All Bookmarks page. grrrr.

When I pull up the Show All Bookmarks window, I only see bookmarks already placed in folders, not the uncategorized ones.

The star option only works when the bookmark can actually be loaded.

How do I delete a bookmark that is now a broken link but not placed into a folder?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should see the star even if the bookmark doesn't load. You can try offline mode (File > Work Offline).
