I have this problem in my FIREFOX toolbar. I have a very large set of bookmarks in a drop-down list under a folder called Daily. I have added a folder in that drop down list called Dollar, to keep the whole list short enough to fit in the window. I added four bookmarks to that Dollar folder successfully, but when I tried to add a fifth, it did not show up. I tried that three times. No luck. Then I clicked Open all in Tabs under the four. Seven tabs opened - the four I can see and the one I could not, three times. When I look at that folder in Organize Bookmarks, I can see all seven, but not when I go there from my Bookmark toolbar. How can I make the three invisible bookmarks visible?

If you use the 'bookmarks' menu you will get arrowheads pointing off to one side that show folders content.

Once the list has grown long you will also get very small arrowheads at the top and bottom of the list, which grey out sometimes, these will allow you to scroll up or down to see items that are otherwise off screen.
