How does one delete a folder full of Bookmarks? It was a dumb mistake trying out Firefox Sync for me: I am an extreme Power User, but forgot to look at the physical size of the Bookmarks file on my laptop -- it exceeded the available physical memory of this Verizon-sabotaged [they limited the phone to 8Gb of memory and modified the internals so that you can only add Micro-SD to the external Micro-SD port normally used for backups] machine. This phone may have a Quad-Core processor, but it's crippled. 

 So all I want to do is delete the bookmarks that came through Firefox Sync. Long-Touch does not allow any options when working on the Android's Firefox Bookmarks. Any reasonable solution for this will be greatly appreciated. I am homebound and quite severely handicapped, so manual deletion of these is not feasible.
 Thanks for your help.

Hi stephenburnett, Thank you for your question and your experience sounds frustrating. The fastest way to remove folders of bookmarks is on the Desktop and syncing back to the device.

However if we are limited to deletion on the device unfortunately only the long tap then selecting "Remove". At this time, this does not work on folders.

This might sound strange, but you can create a temp sync account on another profile and attach it to the android device. Then after its synced, manage all of the folders you do not want from the desktop, sync when done, then delete the account.
