If you delete individual bookmarks in a smart folder then you delete the original that is stored elsewhere.
Smart bookmarks show the result of a query in a list.
If you do not want that smart folder then you have to delete that folder, but not its contents.

If the Smart folder (Recent Bookmarks folder) already has things in it and the entire folder is deleted, will that also remove (delete) the Original also? IE...If you delete an item from the Smart folder, the original will be removed but if you delete the entire smart folder, the original will Not be removed? Sounds contradictory.

Thanks, Steve

Yes, removing that folder will remove the query.

Recently Bookmarked is this query, so removing that query make the list disappear.
Removing an item in the list removes that item.

place:folder=BOOKMARKS_MENU&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=TOOLBAR&sort=12&excludeQueries=1&excludeItemIfParentHasAnnotation=livemark%2FfeedURI&maxResults=10&queryType=1

A query like one of these will show the History as a smart bookmark: place:type=5 or place:type=4

I want to open AOL in Firefox. I did this tonight and went to Action and save and clicked it. I wanted to save the mail. When I needed it again, I could not find it. Where does it go? LOL

The only way I found it was I had answered it and had it in the Sent folder.

I also had and never did get Adobe Flash Player to install. Had to go to AOL to d/load it. Why? I allowed it and it would say finished but would never show up in my programs or Control Add/Remove? Why and THANKS oh YES, why can't I send mail from Firefox? Do I have to use a certain mail program?
