Bookmarks folders open immediately when cursor passes over them. I hate this. I don't want the folders to open unless I click on it.

I am not entirely sure what you are describing.

Where are the 'Bookmark folders ' that give you a problem

  • within some sort of document or file
  • on firefox
    • on the bookmarks toolbar
    • on the sidebar
    • in the firefox bookmarks library
  • on a drop down menu from the location bar
  • somewhere else

try to answer the above questions and give more detail, someone will probably try to help.
