Firefox 18.0

I have some bookmarks pinned to the taskbar. They show the URL of the link, not the name of the bookmark. For example; in my bookmarks dropdown menu I have a bookmark named 'hotmail', but when I pin it to the Firefox icon in the task bar it shows up as https://login.live.com.....

How do I rename it or get it to show the same name as in the dropdown menu?

After installing FF21 (win7 pro) when I tried to "bookmark all tabs" from an open tab context menu, instead of the place for the name of the save being blank, it had the name of an old bookmark that seemed to be random. I restarted FF and restarted in Safe Mode, but that did not fix anything. Then I reset FF and that did not fix anything. In fact now when I click Ctrl+Shift+D or use the tab context menu I get a dialog like I am saving a new bookmark, not bookmarking all tabs. There is a place for the Name Location Folder Tags Keyword The only add-ons I activated after doing the reset are Numext 0.7.3, Theme and Font Changer 7.1, and Roboform 7.8.9.5, all of which I have been using for years with no prior problems. Note: After doing the reset, I tried Bookmark all tabs before I enabled any add-ons, and experienced the same problem. I have a screenshot of what I get when I try to use bookmark all tabs.

Even after I visit several websites, the pinned icon on my Win 7 taskbar for Firefox 21 does not show any visited websites, nor does it show tasks like "Open new tab," or "reopen last session."

I just recently reinstalled, and did see my "bookmark.htm" file in the jumplist under "recent," but no websites have appeared since then. Also, my privacy settings default to "Use custom settings for history," even after I reset them to "remember history."

I updated Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S2, and after opening the new version I discovered my bookmarks were gone. Is there any way I can get them back?

Not sure if this is relevant, but when I look at the Application settings, it shows firefox has about 400MB of data. I have no cleared this data as I feel the bookmark info may be included in that somewhere? But is there any way to access it?

Здравствуйте! Подскажите пожалуйста, что предпринять в такой ситуации: браузер не запускается, а выдает следующее: "Не удалось загрузить ваш профиль «Firefox». Возможно, он отсутствует или недоступен." Возможно ли восстановить работу firefox? И если нет, то каким образом можно перенести все сохраненные закладки? Заранее спасибо за ответ.

Just updated from XP to windows 7. I exported bookmarks from Firefox and have tried to import them. When I push the open bottom in the import dialog box after selecting the html file the box goes away but no bookmarks are imported. Anyone have a solution for this?

Thanks,

Richard

I visited a new site and because I was resetting a password I dismissed the prompt asking whether I wanted to save the password. Now I have reset the password and want to save it the prompt box isn't appearing because I dismissed it the first time instead of checking the 'not this time' box.

My firefox on my android phone crashed which seems to caused all my bookmarks to gone missing!

Is there something i can do to maybe recover them?

This happened on Firefox BETA. (in case this is relevant or important information.)

edit: my browsing history is gone too. strange. it looks like it resetted everything after the crash?

I am getting really mad with FF after I began using Netscape many years ago, today the update to version 20.01 was applied and after that and checking all the add ons and plugins my bookmarks just dissapeared, I am really mad, it is not the first time and ithappens in all my Pc' running FF in XP and Windows 7, now I can get to the.json file but also when I try to restore the file the script on this page may be busy appears again and again and again so I'm not able to restore my bookmarks, really I'm tired of this FF problem. I have also uninstalled completely the software and the %$#^$&^% persists. Is it some kind of sabotage so we migrate to Chrome, just let me know and will forget abot FF and will use again IE. Also this (*(*& ,json file type is a curse to users, we can not work with it neither we can manage the information inside. So what can I do to restore my bookmarks from outside FF.

I have many folders and sub folders. I have accidentally dropped a folder in another totally unrelated folder and cannot find it. I know that it is there because when I search there is material in the folder. How can I find it? !!!!! thanks, Pianonanda

When I save a page to my bookmarks it doesnt show up in my bookmarks tab. They show up if I click show all bookmarks and scroll down to end, but they do not show up on my list of bookmarks in the regular bookmarks tab. How do I get them to start showing up again on the regular bookmarks area instead of only in the show all bookmarks area?

Hi There

I recently needed to restore my computer and I decided I'd backup my bookmarks before doing so to save me the trouble of re-adding them all. I followed one of the guides on this website and had my backup file ready to go, but when I went to import/restore them, it wouldn't take the file that was made.

After following the steps of the guide, Firefox created a "Unix Executable file". First I tried to import this file, then I tried to restore to this file through Firefox. After that didn't work, I just double-clicked the file and it opened up a terminal window (I'm on OS X by the way) and spit out some text then an error.

After that I just right clicked the file and tried to open in Firefox. I ended up with a bunch of text going off the side of the screen and after scrolling for a bit I was able to find some URL's to my bookmarks in the code, so the bookmarks are in there.

What can I do to restore these?

My son was playing with my computer and now my bookmark toolbar is lost. I've checked it under view and followed all the directions, but it won't come back. Bookmarks are still there, just not on a convenient toolbar.

Sometimes when clicking on a Live Bookmark, a transparent outline drops down instead of the normal stories. I've included a link to a picture of the problem. This happens about 50% of the time when clicking on the Live Bookmark. My only work around is to keep clicking the LIve Bookmark until it shows up normal again. I recently downloaded Aurora to see if that would fix the issue, but it did not. Before I was using the beta version of 19.
