Why do I have 2 Unsorted Bookmarks folders (1 with a star in it) ?
Using FF 47.0.1 on Vista system and have been using FF for several years on this system.
I have 2 Unsorted Bookmarks folders with identical contents. One UB icon is a folder and the other is a star on top of what looks like a floppy drive. Deleting one deletes both Unsorted Bookmarks.
Where did the 2nd UB folder come from and how can I delete it without deleting all of my unsorted bookmarks?

I found that after doing a refresh on Firefox, sometimes I end up with duplicate entries in the Bookmarks Manager.
You should be able to remove one folder without losing the other. Make sure you have a backup just in case.
So I created another folder and moved everything in my Unsorted Bookmarks folder (the one without the star on it) into it. As I moved each entry out of the folder, the identical entry in my Unsorted Bookmarks folder, the one with the star on it, disappeared.
Then I deleted the Unsorted Bookmarks folder without the star and moved the entries from my new folder to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder with the star on it.
Problem fixed.
That was very good work. Well done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.
