My Favorites were automatically imported from Internet Explorer when I started with Firefox, however I am unable to "organize" or otherwise work with or delete any Favorites in Firefox. When I click on "Organize Favorites" only a blank pop-up screen comes up. Please advise as to what I need to do to be able to organize and delete Favorites within Firefox.

In Firefox, your IE Favorites usually migrate to your Bookmarks menu, and the menu item to reorganize them is named Show All Bookmarks. You also can pop open that dialog using Ctrl+Shift+b.

Where do you see "Organize Favorites"?

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

You can also try to repair the places database with this extension:
