I downloaded the new Firefox version a few days ago and like it alot. However, when I try to bookmark and new page I can't choose from any of my existing folders. They just don't show up. I either have to create a new one or put in the regular menu. Is it a burp in my download? Am I missing something?

Me thinks you have to reload your bookmarks from somewhere off your hard-drive ... Firefox lost all my original bookmarks when it switched over to a higher upgrade :angry: and I basically had to start all over. :miffer:
That reminds me I'd better back up present bookmarks before I move up again. :rolleyes:

Mine imported just fine, and when I choose "bookmark this page" I get a pop-up box with a drop-down that says "bookmarks menu" - when I click the down arrow, I get "unsorted bookmarks", "bookmarks menu", "bookmarks toolbar", a section separator, and "choose". Clicking on "choose" expands teh "bookmarks menu" and all of my folders are there.

All of my bookmarks imported fine... sorry you're having trouble. Although I did back them up first just in case.
 
Firefox and Netscape store bookmarks in a single file. Try using the search function to track it down. Look for bookmarks.html

I switched over, and didn't have a problem either. All my bookmarks were there, and I've added a few new ones since, even reshuffled the order of a few.

Did you use the "idiot level" automatic install, or custom? If custom, maybe you missed a check box?

That's it! Feeling stupid. I had to double clicck the "bookmarks menu" folder. heh

All my original bookmarks are there, I just couldn't find my folders to add new ones.

It's all good now. Thanks guys! :)
 
I haven't upgraded yet for fear this'll bite me! Sounds like it's OK for most peopel though.
