One of the folders in my bookmarks mysteriously has at least hundreds (possibly thousands) of copies of certain urls. Any suggestions on how to fix this folder without losing all of my other (very carefully filed) other urls?
When I try to delete them, the page becomes slow and unresponsive, taking a very long time to merely select a screenful of them and then an even longer time to delete them. there are so many copies it would take me days to clear out them out by selecting only a screenful at a time.
All the other folders and urls seem to function normally.

Try the Bookmarks manager -- just select the Firefox menu and click Bookmarks and you'll see a window with all your bookmarks. From there, you can select the folder you want and either just delete the folder, or select the individual bookmarks you want to remove and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
Tip: hold down Shift and click to select a range of bookmarks in the list.

Thanks for your reply!
Sorry, I should have mentioned that the folder is the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder, and is apparently undeleteable - at least that option is ghosted. Do you know of a way to delete the whole Unsorted Bookmarks folder? Or is the default that it IS deleteable and this is only occurring on my system?
Trying to select a range of bookmarks within the Unsorted Bookmarks Folder immediately causes the page to become unresponsive and tediously slow so that it becomes impossible to select more than a miniscule fraction of the files at one time, and an even longer time (as I mentioned above) to delete them. It seems to me that somehow that one folder has become corrupt, but I don't want to start completely fresh and lose all my hard work in ordering my thousands of other bookmarks.
Any suggestions or clues?
A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
