I am trying to delete bookmarks in Firefox. In the URL window in the 
Havigation toolbar is a star named "edit this bookmark". If this star is 
solid, clicking on it gives a Remove this Bookmark option, that works. 
However if the star is hollow, clicking on it first makes it solid, when 
clicking on it again offers the Remove this Bookmark button - but this 
DOES NOT WORK.

I want to remove bookmarks that show up with a hollow star. How can I do 
this?

Also, some of my bookmarks are URLs for PDFs. How do I remove those 
bookmarks?

Problem solved. The solution wsn't in any of the sources I consulted, but
was fairly easy to find. Under the Bookmarks menu open Organize Bookmarks.
This much was in the instructions I could find, but then one must click on
Bookmarks Menu. That lists all bookmarks, any of which can be selected and
deleted. This was not in any instructions I found.

Have you reported your difficulty to the writers of the instructions?

Not worth my time. I'm reporting it here, for free use by anyone.

Non-grexers cannot see your report.

Nor would most people not on any of one of dozens of forums where I 
don't post this world-shaking discovery. Though, if you wish to post it 
on all those forums, you have my permission to take credit for it, too.

I look up the causes of hardware and software problems on the web, and most
forums are public-access so the answers are shared.  Grex is not.  Half the
time I find my own solutions that I posted to a mail list for linux.
