How can Bookmarks be Sorted by Name in the menu? When I choose this
option in the Manage Bookmarks part of Firefox, it has no effect on the
actual menu accessibe from the broswer window.

Thanks.

There was a 'Sort Bookmarks' Extension that worked with FF versions
prior to Version 1.0, which I know doesn't help you but it is not
compatible with this version - am hoping it gets updated.

Precisely the reason why Firefox will never be more than a flea in the
browser market.

Relying on authors to write extensions and keep them update is sheer
folly. Especially when many of these things should be an integral part
of the browser.

I too am facing the same problem and tried the above.
The bookmarks *do* get sorted but that is just in the manage window.
When I click on the bookmarks in the main FF window, they are still
unsorted. I also tried Right Click -> sort by Name, but they won't get
sorted atall!!
Any clues?

Agreed.

Mine work on the main FF window as well as the manage window. It can be
done. Except for the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder (which I drag-drop where
needed) all my bookmarks are stored in the From Internet Explorer
folder. Maybe that's the difference. Mine, in all places, are
numeric/alpha order with subfolders listed first then individual marks.
I'll keep looking to figure out how I did it.

Open main FF window bookmarks. Right click on folder> click Sort
Folder. This will sort as stated above.

I have no problem sorting the bookmarks within a folder. What I'd
like to know is how to sort the folders. I have a lot and it takes
unnecessary time to find them all jumbled up.

I have been trying to trace where FF stores the bookmarks. Have
located
C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.36d
where bookmarks.bak is kept and have tried cutting and pasting into
alphabetical order there but, although saved, this new created edition
reverts back. Someone with more knowledge than I will hopefully know
what I am not doing right and it's a long winded way of trying to
achieve something simple but such is life!!
