Hi Experts

I have been trying to find out if Xmarks (4.2.1) will update my online bookmarks but I realized whenever I load the local Firefox (V21.0) bookmarks , I am not able to see that is reflected to my Xmarks online account

Thanks

I have downloaded and synced both firefox and aurora to my galaxy s3. but the synced bookmarks cannot be found or accessed. what do I do and how do I have an icon on the start up screen or a toolbar to access yhe bookmarks?

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?

When I use to open the Bookmark Menu, in the past, there was a number displayed that showed the number of bookmarks. This stopped happening a week or two ago. How can I easily, automatically get this information? Thanks.

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?

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.

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?

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
