Bookmarks Menu

(I have no idea what topic I should have selected. If you read the text here, you can quickly see that I am flailing about.)

Please bear with me as I try to finish restoring Firefox after a spam attack that got around MalwareBytes, SuperAntispyware, and Windows Defender. I am missing a large collection of bookmarks, and until a day or ago, I had not the foggiest idea what it was called, as I had started it quite a long time ago and had not encountered any problems.

I knew that, whatever it was, was still on the computer as I had caught a glimpse or two of it. Two days ago, I found it: I clicked on the three-dot icon in the top right-hand corner of Firefox, selected Bookmarks, scrolled to the bottom of the list, and clicked on Manage Bookmarks, whereupon I found my compilation named Bookmarks Menu.

I had, more or less accidentally found, several days ago that there is supposed to be an icon specifically for that entry. I thought that I had kept a copy of what the icon looks like; sadly, I just saw that I had not so done.

However, I sort of recall what it looks like, with, I believe a star and something else, and it is supposed to be found in More tools, Customize toolbar icon collection. I looked there, with my miscreant note about the icon I need to restore the use of Bookmarks Menu; the icon was not there (and is not now, I just looked.) I don't even remember how I found the text about the icon, which had an image of it, alas.

If anyone can assist me, that would be, obviously, greatly appreciated.

As I wrote yesterday, I could not find my copy of the icon, which may be that I was looking in the wrong place. I thought it was in a Word Perfect note, but it was actually in a .jpg created from a screen shot.
