Those are the details... I have a page I want bookmarked, I try to file it under the many file folders of bookmarks imported from my old computer that exist on this one, but they are unaccessable from the bookmark menu, even if I select 'choose'

Hi,

You can try deleting the places.sqlite file which stores the bookmarks + history, in your Firefox Profile Folder after exiting Firefox. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information > Open Containing Folder. The file will be recreated at the next Firefox startup. You can restore the bookmarks from a backup or via Bookmarks (Alt + B) > Show All Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Restore. From here you can also Export Bookmarks to HTML and later Import Bookmarks from HTML.
