I am using 10.6.8. I find my Bookmark folders in their latest format, in which one navigates between the saved websites by moving the slider-bar at the bottom of the screen and seeing an image of each in miniature, verging on useless. Being presented with a list of websites and clicking on the one wanted was both faster and more convenient. How can I regain the way it was before?

Any help will be much appreciated!
Martin.

You're describing Top Sites, I think. (I've never used it.) You can disable that in Safari Preferences.

Thank-you: I have disabled TopSites and that's not it and I have emptied an image cache and prevented lots of website images being stored. In my pull-down Bookmarks Bar I see each bookmarked site expressed in letters and numbers in the usual way: www....etc, highlight the one I want and click on it to take me there. However, when I open a Bookmarks Folder, I am confronted with a black screen with a Safari logo in the middle and at the very bottom, two rows of quite small text; in the top row, in bold type, is the short name I assigned to the site when bookmarking it and in the second the http:// address. Below that is a slider bar and by clicking and holding on that and sliding it to left or right the neighbouring bookmarks appear one at a time. My objective is to return to the simple list of the websites in each folder, enabling me to see all at once and click on the one I want.

Grab the bar under the slider and drag it up.
