I downloaded firefox 6 last night and accidentally selected sort by name with all my bookmarks, which totally messed up the order.

I chose restore settings to a previous day from the show all bookmarks option and it resolved it but cause yet another problem.

Now for some random reason 'Show all Bookmarks' is at the bottom of the list of all my book marks and not at the top above everything like it used to be, same goes for bookmark this page and bookmarks toolbar.

I have tried to drag them to the top but it is not letting me, how the hell do I just get everything back to how it was, with all those options at the top of the bookmark tab and then my bookmarks below.

seems to have randomly fixed itself, god knows how.

I would appreciate someone telling how to fix this problem if it ever occurs again, all these recent firefoxs seem hell bent on just changing altering and screwing up everything we are used to for no reason.
