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?

Hi

I would like to know, whether is there any ContentProvider for Firefox on Android provided in order to access the bookmarks via an Android application? If yes, could you share that ContentProvider please?

Thank you

I followed the instructions about how to put my bookmarks in alpha order but it didnt work so what is the correct way to do it in alpha order a-z

I also noticed this fix in the forum- Chosen solution by philipp

hello, the view menu in the library doesn't change the arrangement of bookmarks themselves (but only allows you to temporarily view them sorted by certain criteria). in order to organize them alphabetically, right-click a bookmarks folder & select "sort by name".

but there is no sort by name in the droip down box when I right click a bookmarks folder, but I eventually found the folder and done it as sort by name showed so I click on it and closed the bookmark, then opened again but did not change?

Microsoft does not suggest using the admin profile/user as one`s main internet browsing venue, so I have made another account with limited access for security purposes. The problem is my admin account has all my Firefox bookmarks! So basically I am trying to import bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox to another? Mozilla Firefox browser on my computer! Most of your import help is form a DIFFERENT browser,Chrome, Explorer,ect ,but not from Firefox to Firefox, if you will. Does this make sense?

Hello,

I need a bookmark setup like I had in IE. A side panel with a scroll arrow if possible.
I am running Windows 7 on a new computer with cable.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

In newer versions of FF the bookmarks toolbar is off by default, as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars?esab=a&as=aaq

I know how to re-enable it manually, which I have to do every single time I start FF. How can I change the default to "on"?

When I go to view all of my Downloads I am taken to my Library, but it is completely empty. I get "Organize", "View", and "Import and Backup" but there is nothing that is listed in the boxes. I tried saving a bookmark, but it does not show up here either.

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 have a copy of my old profile on my old laptop but I can no longer log in as myself. I can only log into safe mode on my computer. I need to copy my bookmarks to my new laptop. I copied the profiles folder within the Mozilla folder in my local profile. I need to know how to restore my bookmarks.

I used to be able to choose from all folders when bookmarking a site. I was able to click on 'Choose' and all folder would drop down. After a firefox update yesterday, only 5 folders show up, along with the 'Choose' option. When I click on 'Choose' it takes me to to 'UnSorted Bookmarks'. Has this happened to anyone else and how do I get out of this?

I don't know whether this arises from the change of version because I very recently did a clean-up of my hard drive with Norton Utilities 16. Still, I tried making a change to the actual bookmarks, and it stuck the next time I opened.

Steps I am doing to show you folks exactly

1. 1 Click on Bookmarks
2. 2 Click on Bookmark this page
3. 3 Bookmark Menu Folder Selected
4. 4 Select Done
5. 5 Click on Bookmarks

And nothing is there.Did not create it

Unless I select a Folder that is already in my Bookmark Menu

Actually a person in the community tried to answer my question, but he didn't look at my full question, so it was a total waste of time. I have Tidy Favorites & love the little pictures of each of my saved websites, & the easy way it is to save new websites. But, I hate that Tidy Favorites isn't updated anymore, so that I can't change my ID & password! Can someone at Mozilla Firefox please tell me if there is a similar program to Tidy Favorites that I could change to, for saving my favorite websites, where I can change my ID & password if I need to? I've already looked at your huge, long list of bookmarks that are available. It's way too long of a list, without good descriptions to figure out. I need an answer please to this question. I don't even know if Tidy Favorites is a bookmark program or what it is. but I want something very similar to it. Thanks.

I'm tired of not being able to change my old ID and password on TidyFavorites, because you do not update that program anymore. Do you have a great bookmark program like TidyFavorites, with the cute pictures of each website, that I can switch to? I've already looked through your list and it's way too long to figure out. Can you give me your top 1-3 choices please? And, can you tell me how to switch from TidyFavorites to the new bookmark program without losing my 50 websites? Thanks.

Today i messed up my profile for mozilla on my laptop, i recovered 3 json files (but when importing nit says unable to process the backup file) and the bookmark.html and the places.sqlite but it wont import or restore a thing with any of them, i think i may have lost all of my bookmarks/unsorted bookmarks.

However i do remember that my phone was synced to my laptop before this happened. does that mean that all of my bookmarks are saved somewhere? please help.

I want to be able to access my Bookmarks from the start menu as I was able to access my favorites when I used IE. Is there any way to do this? It doesn't work to use the XMarks and synchronize the two - as I have been using Chrome for a long time - and my Bookmarks are complete within it.

I have already tried coping and pasting. I am so frustrated with this - I am ready to change back and I would hate to do this considering how much I like y'alls browser!

Thanks for your help. Terry Lynne :)

I cant open the "show all history" or "show all bookmarks" in firefox 12.0. I click on the button and nothing hapenes, I have checked all of my settings, done lots of searches and research to fix this problem and I cant find anything.
