Firefox bookmarks

My \"Library\" in \"Organize\" /View/Sort is always on \"Unsorted\".

Is there a way to set the default to \"A-Z\"?

Good Question.
It's never good to wake up in the shrubs naked, you either got way too drunk, or your azz is a werewolf.

Try the \"SortPlaces\" Add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9275

I've never used it, can't vouch for it. Nearest thing I've seen to what you're asking for.

Hey that works. Now another question.

Any bookmark that's not in a folder is not shown when Organize is open. Any idea how to see files?

Do I have to drag the files one at a time to a folder somewhere up the tree?

wolf, what version of FF are you using? At work I use 2.0xxx and any \"unfoldered\" bookmarks are in the main window in the bookmark manager at the bottom under the folders. I have 3.xxx at home, but i don't use it much. Opera is my primary there.

Can you describe your problem with a little more detail?

I'm using 3.5.4

A pic is worth.... http://screencast.com/t/N9VPLuXL0

When I open \"Organize\" I don't have any unfoldered bookmarks showing. Great word that \"unfoldered\".

If I just click on Bookmarks and scroll down a bit I have a bunch of unfoldered bookmarks.

you notice how all your bookmark folders are sorted under \"Bookmarks Menu\"?

Click on that.

When you go into the organize bookmarks window, click on the section in the tree to the left titled \"Unsorted Bookmarks\". There you will find bookmarks that aren't in the menu or the toolbar.

those or if you clik on \"All Bookmarks\" they should be at the very bottom on the right under the folders. (I'm at home now!) :lol:

btw, cool little demo!

Got it. Thanks.

I used Jing for the demo. It's free and a great way to explain or show someone how to do something. I use it all the time with newbies. It's faster than \"click on Start. OK now click on All Programs.......

It also has audio with it. http://www.jingproject.com/
