How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

This reply is for bookmarks. I'm not having a problem with bookmarks. The problem is with, for instance, my searches in eBay. When my previous searches are in the drop-down list, they are in random order. They were in alphabetical order on my old computer. I don't get any options if I right click.

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them. I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.
