Apparently I missed a bunch of upgrades, so I recently upgraded from something like Firefox 3.5 to 5.0. When I did, the bookmarks that I use the most strangely will not appear. It's weird -- they are stored in a subfolder within a subfolder, and most of these show up just fine since the upgrade, but this particular subfolder, which of course I use most often and has a ton of bookmarks within it (as well as a few subfolders, in addition), just will not show up UNLESS I click on "Show All Bookmarks" and access it from there. What's so strange is that other subfolders show up on the drop down menu no problem, it's just this one that won't. Could it be a bug that when you have too many bookmarks within a subfolder it won't show up? I have tried re-booting and restarting firefox.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

My computer does not have a places.sqlite folder. Maybe that's the problem?

I've looked in library/mozilla and there's not even a firefox folder in there, just "extensions"

Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the Evaluate button to see the location of the profile folder.

alert(Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties).get("ProfD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile).path);
