Sorting Bookmarks in Firefox 3
Firesort will not work with Firefox 3 due to the way bookmarks are now stored in an SQLite database file. This is not a problem because bookmark sorting is a built in feature of Firefox 3. To sort your bookmarks in Firefox 3, perform the following steps:
-
Click the Bookmarks menu and click Organize Bookmarks...
-
Double-click All Bookmarks to show/expand all your bookmark folders
-
Right-click on any of your folders and choose Sort By Name
Repeat the steps above for every folder that you would like to sort by name.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_bookmarks_alphabetically for more info about bookmark sorting.
