Bookmarks are impossible to delete when the URL changes for the page. Why can't we have Organize Bookmarks back?

There is a bookmarked webpage I haven't visited in a while. They redirect the URL from the one I have to a slightly different one now. Once it gets to the page, when I go to remove bookmark, it doesn't show up as being bookmarked (URL is different), and won't delete the old bookmark.

Ever since they changed the bookmarking to use that little window and the star, I have had a lot of trouble changing URLs and/ or deleting bookmarks.

When we had the nicely straightforward Organize Bookmarks in the Bookmark Menu, things worked very well. Now it's a pain to use, change or remove bookmarks.

As a result, I have at least two old bookmarks I cannot delete. I just want Firefox to go back to something that worked.

Organize Bookmarks was renamed to Show All Bookmarks. Everything works the same as with the 3.0 thru 3.6 versions.

It would have been nice if they'd told us that, and had it in the Help articles.

Thanks, BTW.
