Recently upgraded to Firefox 4; now when clicking on Bookmarks there is no option for Managing Bookmarks. I asked for directions for deleting a bookmark; when I clicked on the star in the location field, it showed "Bookmark this page" not what I wanted. a second click brought down the edit menu, but selecting "delete this bookmark" didn't do it. I had no luck finding the "Organize Bookmarks" feature that was mentioned in the help files. This makes me feel that maybe Firefox 4 was released to soon. Is it possible to go back to 3.whatever ?

This really 'sucks' I need to backup my bookmarks because their important to my profession. I'm really disappointed in fire fox not having this feature and not only that but when I find them in my pc their in a format that can't be use anywhere except fire fox

citysnib, it does have this feature, it is the same as it was in Firefox 3.6, just renamed to "Show all bookmarks". It opens the same bookmarks manager that you can use to backup your bookmarks. You can use it to export bookmarks to HTML format.

I finally figured it out, thanks to some of you helpful firefox fans. It irks me a bit that Mozilla decided to"fix" something that wasn't broken, without letting us know ahead of time. Doesn't "Manage Bookmarks" seem a lot more intuitive than "Show Bookmarks" ?

Having problems deleting this post!

Mozilla has made this program more difficult to use in several ways!

Thanks Guys!
