Bookmark menu only shows Recent Bookmarks.
I have a bunch of bookmarks across multiple folders in my Library. Some in the Bookmarks Toolbar, most in the Bookmarks menu.
I noticed a while ago that when I click the Library button and go to "Bookmarks" I only see the Recently Added Bookmarks, without my folder structure.
I thought that maybe this is because the Recently Added list overflows and my actual bookmarks structure isn't displayed so I created userChrome.css file and disabled Recently Added Bookmarks completely.
Now whenever I click the Library button -> Bookmarks I only see the options to manage bookmarks or toggle the bookmarks toolbar.
The bookmarks are there - I can search for them, I can access them through the Bookmark Manager/Library (the external window thingy) and can see them in the "Bookmarks Menu" folder on the Sidebar, but they just don't show up in the Bookmark Menu accessed through the Library button.
I looked around here on did some Google searches but couldn't find a similar issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Library menu consolidating Bookmarks, History, and Downloads was introduced in Firefox 57. Since that time, the Bookmarks sub-menu has only listed Recent Bookmarks, and the Bookmarks Menu button was optional.

It looks like you are looking at the Bookmarks Sidebar.
Open the Bookmarks Manager; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the toolbar and select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> B. Firefox 84+ <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> O.

Thank you for this but I think you missed part of my description.
I used the Bookmarks Sidebar to make sure that my Bookmarks are still there (second screenshot). The issue is that if I use the Library icon (the multi-menu that can open Bookmarks, History and Downloads) and select Bookmarks, there's nothing in there (first screenshot).
That first picture, click on the last choice.

That doesn't solve the problem and is not related to the problem. Bookmarks Manager works fine, Bookmarks Toolbar works fine and Bookmarks Sidebar works fine.
What doesn't work is the Bookmarks Menu that should be accessible directly from Library button -> Bookmarks.
You can drag the Bookmarks Menu button that shows the bookmarks in a drop-down list from the Customize palette to the Navigation Toolbar.

Thank you, that does work.
Now I'm just wondering does the Library -> Bookmarks menu not supposed to show any bookmarks other than Recently Added? I'm pretty sure it used to display everything a while ago.
