I can find the bookmarks in a folder - however, the PROBLEM is the newest V. of Firefox does not work properly on my iMac.

This appears to be a manual install, rather than using the updater. Over to Firefox :: General.

Reporter, do you still have the problem ? Updating works fine on my 10.5 installation.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.8 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.10 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
