I tried visiting a bookmarked item to see this, and fell over at the

*-Click on the icon, appearance doesn't change, nothing else happens
What am I missing?
On my location bar (I'm using 2.14.1, just like you), the tooltip
reads "Edit this bookmark" and the icon is a NW/SE angled light
green bar with a hairline black border, the top (NW) end being
convex and the bottom (SE) end concave. When I click it, I get just
what Chris described -- a dialog that allows me to edit the
bookmark.
To the right of this icon is a downward-pointing triangle that
pulls up the recent history of sites I've visited, and then after
that is the "Search" button.
I see nothing in the prefs that would allow the user to modify
this. Have you installed an add-on that does?
I've tried following what you did and no luck...
I was able to replicate what Chris described in reply to you for the
case where the URL in the location bar is not already bookmarked. For
example, when the bookmarked page is redirected and the destination is
not bookmarked. But once I had the current URL bookmarked, the procedure
worked as expected (as I described).
... - so back to basics:
I'm under WIN XP in SMs browser 2.14.1
Under Bookmarks \ Bookmarks Manager \ Bookmarks Menu \ I see the top
level of bookmark groups (couple dozen groups with 2-5 levels under
them)
Selecting one group and then moving to the right screen and selecting
one URL, a window pops up down below with text boxes with the name,
location and tags; plus a more link. The location bar (text box)
shows the URL only, (no green icon at the the right end) and I don't
have any tooltips.
Any suggestions? I've been collecting these bookmarks for years and
would like to gradually get duplicates together where I could find
them and to recognize their grouping for some application need.
I suppose if you could export the bookmarks file to a format such as CSV
or XLS, you could sort the table as you pleased in Excel, Access, etc.,
delete the undesirables, and then reimport. But with several levels of
nested folders, that could get complicated.
