Searching for lost bookmark folder?
|
|
|
| I've not had this happen before.
In bookmarks, one of my folders has vanished but if I do a search in the
bookmarks search option the individual bookmark will come up but I cannot
figure out where that folder resides. It seems the folder has fallen into
another folder. Is there a way of finding it without going through every
folder.
Thanks
D.

If you are using Firefox, try using the "Locate in Bookmark Folders"
extension.

Another way is to open your bookmarks file as a web page. Use File /
Open File and navigate to something like C:\Documents and Settings\[user
name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random string].default
* and open bookmarks.html. Then search within the "page" for your
missing folder. I keep a bookmark to my bookmarks file for occasions
such as this.
* path assumes Windows, which of course may not be the case.
