I just tried importing my Chrome bookmarks into AdBlock and ended up with a huge flat list of bookmarks. Apparently AdBlock does not organize bookmarks. Flat list is, of course, unacceptable.
For this reason I would like to delete all imported bookmarks to get back to an empty bookmark list. Doing it one by one is not an option. So, how do I delete them all in one shot?

Re: How do I delete all bookmarks?
The first link says that bookmarks should either be deleted one-by-one or the whole browser should be uninstalled and then reinstalled (thus nuking all user data). This does not work for me. I want to delete all bookmarks at once, but leave all other user data untouched.
The second link contains another link to a Mozilla support article, which seems to imply that it is possible to clear all bookmarks through Settings - Privacy - Clear Private Data. That information appears to be false. Neither "Clear now" option, nor "Clear on exit" option contains a dedicated checkbox for clearing bookmarks. If bookmarks are included into some other category ("Offline site data"? "Site settings"?), please tell me so. But I doubt that. It appears that that support article is either obsolete or flat out wrong with regard to bookmarks.
So, is there a way to achieve that? It is probably safe to conclude that the GUI-level implementation of such functionality is missing. If so, I would like to see detailed instructions for how to do it through modifying external storage directly. Are bookmarks stored in a separate file?
