Some folders are missing from my bookmark list; the individual bookmarks can be found in Search, but the folder does not show.
Some folders are missing from my bookmark list; the individual bookmarks can be found in Search, but the folder does not show in the bookmark list, and the Search results do not indicate where the individual bookmarks are located.
Chosen solution
You can use an Add-on to show add a column to the Library dialog for the folder of the bookmark.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/
The extension may show just the folder name or you can display the full path through the menu to the folder. That full path option is useful if a folder accidentally gets dragged and dropped somewhere so you can drill down to it and find it.
To access extension settings, you can use the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then look for the Options button under the specific extension.
Any luck?

Added and enabled the show-parent-folder app..checked Show parent folder in Views, but see no additional column in Firefox BM sidebar or when use Search to locate the individual bookmarks.
Figured it out and found the missing folders. My thanks!
I can't figure out how to see this column after adding the add on.What did you do to see it?
Hi Rothie, try right-clicking the bar with the column headings to display a list that lets you turn columns on and off. Can you find it there?
Found it-Thanks.
