i want to keep my most visited sites bookmarked but only displays about last 10

Like IE: I can keep adding favorites, forever & still see all listed in a long drop-down list or in folders. But when I bookmark a page in FF & say add it to a folder, then browse some more, & I want to visit my popular sites like my YouTube page, I only see about 10 sites displayed, so if I delete a couple then I can see my YouTube channel again to click on it. But I didn't realize that deleting any recent ones, even if in a folder already, will delete them permanently, defeating the purpose of having them. I want to see a longer list, again not necessarily as long as IE, but readily available. Hope I explained it well enough for someone to understand what I meant.

There are several different ways to view your bookmarks, some of which are as long as you could ever want.

(1) Bookmarks Menu

If you have the orange Firefox button, you can hover over the triangle next to Bookmarks to display the full menu. Or, if it's more convenient, press Alt+b to display the classic Bookmarks menu.

(2) Bookmarks Sidebar

Press Ctrl+b to open or close the Bookmarks Sidebar. It's also accessible from the full View menu.

(3) Bookmarks Drop-down button

I can't keep track of where this is on the toolbars any more, but there is one somewhere.

(4) Bookmarks Toolbar

Similar to the IE Links toolbar.
