I created a folder quite a while ago. I can save sites to it but cannot find it to open it. It is the only folder I have created. Where in the bookmarks menu do I find the name of that folder?

This is a bit of a tricky problem because Firefox doesn't have a folder search in bookmarks.

If you know any site that you bookmarked in that folder go to the site and look for the yellow star in the address bar. When you click the star, you can expand the bookmark hierarchy by clicking the "V"=like button on the far right on the line that says Folder. If you then scroll that box, the current location should be selected.

Can you find it?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder if you keep failing to locate the bookmarks.
