Duplicate bookmarks -- what folders are they in?

When I do a search, I notice that I have some duplicate bookmarks. I'm guessing that they're in different folder/subfolders. However, when I double click on any of the duplicate bookmark entries to open and then click on the star, it only shows 1 folder -- how do I find out what other folder it's in?

Hi, you can open the Bookmark Side Bar from Library, keep clicking till you get to it. Or you can mouse to the top of the browser and Right Click and then Click Menu Bar and then Bookmarks. Or you can try this : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bookmark-dupes/ there are also other bookmark extensions if copy/paste bookmark into the URL search bar to browse.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Hi truthmail, when you open the bookmark, to see the current folder in its context in the hierarchy, you need to expand the folder list box. There should be a shadow or highlight across the current folder in that box.

I am attaching a screenshot for reference.

You ca n possibly modify the title and add a number to make them distinct.

Seems to make sense -- still testing out
