That has got to be it. When I installed Firefox I probably imported my IE
Favourites at a time when I had my hidden folder unlocked. Thanks for
explaining how FF works with regards to bookmarks. Now I could remove the
hidden bookmarks, which removes then from the database, but when I want to
view them they won't be there. The method FF uses for storing bookmarks may
be efficient and all that but it ruins a feature that I got use to in IE
where I can see some Favourites then can hide them.
