<p>I am forced to use Command "D" to save the bookmark I want, or
use the sidebar, but can't always remember to do this, so must do a
force quit whenever I click "Bookmarks"at the top menu.</p>
<p>I've had this issue for the past 3 TenFourFox updates, and I
hope that if enough users have this issue on the same G5 Power Mac
(Dual Ghz using 4 GB DDR SDRAM),, it will be addressed sooner than
later. FYI, I use "Cocktail" frequently to clear my caches, but
this has never helped-Thanks.</p>

folder, that is rather big (more than 500 entries). Whenever I
hover this folder in the menu, TFF becomes unresponsive for a
while. My guess is that it has to do with TFF having to load lots
of favicons...?</p>

favicons is the reason; the menu is constructed dynamically).
Organizing the bookmarks into folders will help since the browser
has to load fewer icons to display each submenu.</p>
<p>DK, if you press Shift-Command-B, the bookmarks window will open
and you can organize them (since it also has to load them, this may
be subject to the same delay). If it does open and you can view
them, then it's just a matter of too many present. If this doesn't
work, you will have to start over. See "How to reset your profile"
(the second set of instructions, since we're trying to clear the
bookmarks list, which is likely not easily salvageable).</p>

the<br>
favicon database that is causing your problem: go to
about:config,<br>
look for browser.chrome.favicons, set to false, restart TFF. If
that<br>
solves your problem, you can consider whether you want to
reorganize<br>
your bookmarks/folders, or simply do without the icons.<br>
(Unfortunately, the config setting disables ALL favicons all over
the<br>
browser interface, not only in the bookmarks menu.)</p>
