Why Don't All of My Bookmarks Appear in the Bookmark Flyout Menus?

I cannot get all of my bookmarks in various bookmark folders to display when I use the bookmark flyout menus. For instance, I have a bookmark folder titled "Car Sites" which holds various web sites (maybe 15-20) catering to automobiles. These bookmarks are indeed valid and show up when I click Show All Bookmarks to go to the full bookmark "editing suite" tab.

However when using Firefox (V30.0) and using the cursor to use the Bookmarks drop-down flyout menus, some of those valid bookmarks do not appear in the folder flyout menus. Its like the flyout menus are being abridged. When I add a new bookmark to that folder, it appears in the Show All Bookmarks editing screen, but still doesnt appear in the bookmarks flyout menu.

There is plenty of room on my screen to expand the size of the flyout menu and show all of my bookmarks in a folder. Not like I have 500 bookmarks in a folder that span my screen top to bottom and need an arrow for browsing downward.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
