Deleting separator lines (here I go again)

I asked this a couple of years ago - ! But the problem apparently is BAAAAACCCKKKK.....

In my list of bookmarks I have inserted SEPARATOR lines. I cannot find how to delete a separator line. There doesn't seem to be any up to date information online about how to handle this - can someone help?

In the previous fix I would click the three-line icon at top right and to into MANAGING BOOKMARKS, where there was a way to see the list, and I could click on and delete any separator lines I wanted to remove.

Apparently in the newest version of FF this no longer works. Now when I go to Manage Bookmarks, there is a list of my bookmarks, but I don't see any of the separator lines.

I'd be truly grateful for help - thank you in advance.

Easiest to locate and remove bookmark separators is in the right panel in the Bookmarks Manager (Library; Ctrl+Shift+O) and in the sidebar (Ctrl+B). On the bookmarks toolbar you have to have a very steady hand to be able to right-click a separator and remove it (make sure neither of the two bookmarks it separates is highlighted). Some separators you see in a drop down menu that are added by Firefox can't be removed.

I think I may have a brand new update of FF....? Your instructions seem to be for what I used in a previous version .... but THANK YOU !! I TRULY appreciate the help!!

It did get me to the Library - where on the right was a list of bookmarks (but no separator lines). Thank you for getting me there !! I finally realized to click on a folder on the left side and indeed, there was the list of bookmarks in that folder complete with separators . I may be wrong but it seems like an extra step was added somewhere in getting to where I needed.
