The bookmarks simply don't show in the sidebar. What is with this program, I thought it was supposed to be a good one. The bookmarks are totally unintuitive. How do you get any of your bookmarks to show?

I thought this program was supposed to be so great. The bookmarks are totally unintuitive. I tried to import favorites from Explorer, can only see them if I bring down the menu from the top and select imported bookmarks. When I select Organize bookmarks, it is empty. No bookmarks show at all on the left. Does this sidebar actually work? Can you bring your imported bookmarks onto the sidebar? Can you organize it the way you want in the order you want to see them, as you can in Explorer? I am no big fan of Exploroer, which is why I am trying Firefox, but if bookmarks cannot be easily used, the program is worthless. Any herlp would be appreciated.

Thanks - I had same problem with newly-imported Bookmarks from IE which didn't show in the sidebar. I have opened the Bookmarks Menu and all is OK.
