I added a new bookmark by clicking the little star in the adress bar, then clicked it again to edit the bookmark. I wanted to move it out of the "Unsorted bookmarks" folder into a new folder named "Minecraft stuff", so i clicked "Bookmark menu" and then clicked "New folder". It created a new folder for me to rename, so I named it "Minecraft stuff", but then when i clicked elsewhere, the folder disappeared. And then I noticed that "Unsorted bookmarks had been renamed into "Minecraft stuff" :/ I cannot find anywhere how to undo this. When i go into the bookmark library, it is still called minecraft stuff, but down below in the little box it says "Name: Unsorted bookmarks". Really weird...

  1. Click the Firefox button, go to Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks.

  2. Go to the Unsorted folder, click the bookmark to highlight it, then click Organize (top left), then Move.

If you just want to rename the folder, hit CTRL+I to open the sidebar, right click the folder, go to Properties and then rename it in the dialog box which appears.
