With Firefox how does one go about deleting bookmarks?
I can't figure it out. I am certainly can't imagine deleting one by one, since that will take forever. Clues? Thanks!

1. Bookmarks >> Organize Bookmarks
Select the bookmark you want to delete
Right click for the context menu
Delete

2. Thanks, but I mean all of them-not one at a time.

3. You may be able to start Firefox in Safe Mode and reset the bookmarks to default
which you leave you only a few to delete by hand

4. This is for XP
First open folder options in Control Panel and check View hidden files/folders.

Then go to C/Documents & Settings/Application data. Look for your own identity, then Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles - keep going down to the last level where there should be Bookmarks.html. That's the one you need to nuke.

5. From organize bookmarks, you can export a copy to a HoldStuff folder before you remove them all,
just in case.
