I read the info provided online for deleting more than one bookmark/folder but it doesn't show how for multiple bookmarks. My OS is XP. with updated Firefox version. When I go to Bookmarks>Show All Bookmarks, there is no listing of the ind bookmarks, only the folders.

Whoever used this pc before had lots and lots and I do not want to have to delete them all one-by-one.

Please advise---

Library List only shows Folders, how do I delete bookmarks

Usually one deletes a lot of history items so the techniques were described in the history areas by including some pictures. The techniques work the same for bookmarks.

You can select multiple entries without invoking the bookmark for dragging, copying, moving or deleting, (similar to how you can select multiple browsing history items) with use of the Ctrl/Cmd key (to add to a selection) & Shift key (to extend a selection) by clicking to the left of the favicon (webpage icon) in the list to make selection(s). To extend from the last selection made of dis-contiguous entries use Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+click. Makes moving several bookmarks from different places to a new location easier as well, and of course for your interest in deleting bookmarks.

Whether you are selecting from the Side Panel or from the Library List, you generally want to start with a search specifying one or more strings within Titles, url/location, or tags. The search with strings of characters works the same in the Location Bar (before Enter known as the AwesomeBar feature), and in bookmark, history and tab searches.

Within the Library List you will only see bookmarks by selecting a folder, or by doing a search.
