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.

when the android phone is turned off, and then back on again, any desk top icon or bookmark of an web page with a manifest will not work when in airplane mode. You must at least make an attempt to turn on wifi, even an unsuccessful attempt to find a wifi connection will do. Then when you use the book mark or the desktop icon, it will work.

Today when I started firefox all but 5 of my bookmarks have disappeared from my toolbar. I checked the folder and they all show up there as per usual. I've tried restarting. I can add new bookmarks. If I rearrange bookmarks in my folder they still don't show on the toolbar. What's the deal?

Bought new laptop & want to transfer favorite places over to new laptop.Firefox --->Firefox but if I did register in the past I do not have any record of user name or PW. A computer man who has since moved to MO, I think installed Firefox for me. I know the Internet and e-mail and a little excel, access and Quicken but after that IM not too computer literate for an old guy. Is there any way to find my user name and pass word on my existing Firefox? Or would Firefox have a record of it. I think it might have been 2005 or 06 when Firefox was installed. My e-mail is Sxxxxxxxxxx@aol.com or bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@aol.com. I could have used either one if I registered but when I was filling out the previous form, sxxxxxxxxxx@aol..com appeared in a little box when I was part way thru typing my e-mail address. If there was way to transfer favorite places in AOL to Firefox, I would then be able to get rid of AOL. Only reason I kept it was because all the US Sailors in our USS Grand Canyon Sailors Organization had my AOL e-mail and I was the treasurer for ten years. Older gents don't like much change so I left it the way it was. Guess IM getting the same way. One browser-Firefox is all I need from here on out.

I used the Bookmark All Tabs feature to save a group of bookmarks into bookmark "folders". I did that by right-clicking on one of the tabs, choosing "Bookmark All Tabs". For "Folder Name" I entered "Watches". The default entry in the "Folder" field was "Bookmarks Menu", which I did not change. When I look at my list of bookmarks there is a separate "folder" named "Watches" that contains all the bookmarks I saved. So far so good. The problem came when I used "Export Bookmarks to HTML..." When I opened the "bookmarks" folder I noticed that the name "Watches" appeared on the page, but none of the actual "Watches" bookmarks were there. I thought that maybe they were contained somewhere within the bookmarks file, but I just could not see them. However, after I imported the bookmarks into IE none of the "Watches" bookmarks were there.

Why are the "Watches" bookmarks not included within the exported "bookmarks" file? I've searched Google but haven't seen where anyone else has mentioned this problem.

Incidentally, I have other bookmarks I've saved the same way (i.e., "Bookmark All Tabs"), and none of them are being exported either. Also, doing the export with all add-ons disabled made no difference.

Thanks.

After my laptop crashed, I am attempting to retrieve my bookmarks off my old hard drive (which is now an external). Nowhere in any of the package contents or folder locations are there any of the file types mentioned in other articles (.json, .sqlite), and the only profile information I can access leads me to a blank backup which was just created as I opened firefox for the first time. There are no visible backups of my bookmarks ever being automatically saved, as suggested. So, after wasting a large portion of my time trying to do what should be the simplest of procedures, where are the old bookmarks supposedly stored?

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?

You know what I mean. Right click the effing thing and type in the name.

It's bad enough you rearranged the order into an alphabetical garbled up mess when I imported from IE8 today but now trying to clean them up and sort into folders is made way more painful than necessary because Firefox doesn't follow the intuitive naming convention of allowing me to right click the bookmark to rename it. Come ON. I shouldn't have to search the database, find ONE thread with a long drawn out conversation on what MIGHT be a solution.

I know there's a reason people choose to use Firefox but, let me guess, this isn't one of them. Just make it work folks.

All the bookmarks on Firefox have disappeared and no new ones can be added. I tried the backup procedure to restore lost bookmarks but I am told that the backup files (all ten of them, by date) cannot be read. History files also are not shown.

I have lots of bookmarks folders in my bookmarks menu, however recently they haven't been opening. If i hover over them it just shows a small square, and nothing happens if I click on them. However, I know that the bookmarsk are still there, because if I right click and choose open all in tabs, then the bookmarks in that folder will open. As well as this, I am also unable to create any new bookmarks - they show up if I open the Library, but not in my menu. Any help will be appreciated!

How do I eliminate the down-pointing arrowhead to the right of folders in the bookmarks toolbar? I find it redundant, and wish to have more items in that bookmarks toolbar at all times, as Chromium allowed me before I migrated to Firefox.
