Install FF 11 and since than have had several problems;

A. When cursor slows over a folder in Bookmarks now, that folder will open. Can't get to the desired folder. B. Sometimes the cursor will take over a page, moving the whole page in any direction that the cursor moves. Can't click off. Have to shut off computer to get out. C. FF icon disappeared from the Mac tool bar. D. Two folders just jumped into another folder. There is no tab anymore for organizing folders. That is gone after the update.

That can be caused by having some bookmarks with a long title in the main Bookmarks menu.
The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.
You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. There was never any problem with this before upgrading to 11. Have had the same bookmarks on FF for several years.

You're welcome

Is your problem indeed caused by some of the bookmarks titles being too long?

Hello, 90% of my bookmark folders are one word, and none over three.
