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.

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,

Jim Franchetto

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.

I've been a Firefox user since before the beginning. I used the original Netscape 1.0.

Tonight I did one thing: add my Android Tablet browser to sync.

IT IMMEDIATELY ERASED ALL MY GODDAMN BOOKMARKS!

I realize that sync is not a form of backup but the one thing it should NEVER do is ERASE anything.

I've had it with this piece of crap browser. It has been steadily going downhill for a long time and I'm fed up with it. This is the last straw. It's not like there aren't alternatives.

Non-destructive alternatives.

My bookmarks sidebar keeps on disappearing. I'll use ctrl-B to bring it back and it will be fine for a while when I close and re-open firefox but, after probably 3 or 4 times running firefox, it will be gone again and I have to use ctrl-B to bring it back. This just keeps happening over and over again every few times that I start firefox. I've tried running without any extensions or addons and the problem is still there.

I had accidentally deleted the entire profile AND emptied the recycle bin! Using a program called Recuva I was able to restore what i emptied from the recycle bin to its EXCELLENT STATE, so there was no partial corruption whatsoever. I was able to find a .json file dated back to 4/3/2013 which would be great considering i did all of this today. I also found my places.sqlite that was dated back as well and an bookmarks.html file that was dated 7/22/2010 .. I dont know which one would hold my "unsorted bookmarks" however, i have tried the .json file that i recovered fully (by the way, all were recovered at an excellent state which again should create no issue) and i get "unable to process the backup file".. the .html loads nothing. and i replaced the new place.sqlite that was created upon reinstallation (and put it in a new folder) with the older excellent state one.. and nothing happened. i have exited mozilla and restarted it. tried all three again. still no avail. please help.

I can't close the bookmark tabs that show up automatically at the tab bar. I don't want them to open or show up. When they show up I can't close them and everything in the tab bar gets frozen. So I'm just stuck. Firefox won't even quit when this happens. How can disable these bookmark tabs from showing up. They are a nuisance.

I also need instruction on eliminating bookmarks that came with Firefox. I deleted them, but they showed up again.
