Before Firefox updated, all my bookmarks were displayed in a narrow column under "Bookmarks Menu" when I clicked on the word "Bookmarks" in the upper left part of the screen. Now, I have to click on "Bookmarks" and "Show All Bookmarks" to get the entire library before I can see the Bookmarks Menu list where all my bookmarks are located. This takes up half the screen, and then, I have to scroll down to see the one I want. How can I get the narrow "Bookmarks Menu" list when I click on "Bookmarks" like I used to have?

Do you mean the Bookmarks Sidebar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks) or do you mean the bookmarks drop-down list that open if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button next to the star on the location/address bar?

You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar. You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.

  • "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
  • View > Toolbars
    You can tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
  • Right-click empty toolbar area

Can you give more details of what you mean?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

That can be caused by having some bookmarks with a long title in the main Bookmarks menu. The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name. You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.
