Hi,

I have a personal bar with folders. When I click on a link in a folder, the folder automatically closes and if I want to open another link in the same folder, I have to reopen the folder. Is there a way to leave the folder open like Edge and Opera do?

Thanks Franky

Lorsque j'essaie d'enregistrer une page dans un onglet, cliquer sur l'icône en forme d'étoile crée bien le lien, mais il s'affiche dans je ne sais quel onglet !!!. Il faut pourvoir le retrouver pour le mettre à la bonne place !!! Je souhaiterais pouvoir enregistrer la page où je le souhaite et créer un nouvel onglet au besoin.

When I try to save a page to a tab, clicking the star icon creates the link, but it opens in some unknown tab! I have to find it to put it in the right place! I would like to be able to save the page wherever I want and create a new tab if needed.

Suddenly, i am finding when i get to the end of my bookmarks and scroll up, the bottom most bookmarks show up. And scrolling down, as i reach the last bookmarks, the topmost bookmarks show up.

When I try to save a bookmark, or edit a bookmark the bookmark window comes up normally but then I try to change the save location it jumps to the left of the screen and does not allow location changes but closes out the window (not changes saved).

All of a sudden, through nothing I have done, ALL my bookmarks are gone. I CAN'T even bookmark anything either. What have you done. Until this is fixed I will not longer use Firefox.

Had trouble getting Bookmarks to look like I had on the old disk. I reinstalled the old disk and went to FireFox and downloaded the Bookmarks in a HTML file on a memory stick. Shut system down. Reinstall the new SSD disk and tried to "install" bookmarks under Manage Bookmarks, but I could not get the Bookmarks to show up on the space below the main Search HTML box. And my most recent websites found are now ABOVE the main Search HTML box. And ABOVE that is: "Get Support | Mozilla Support...... " It just all looks/feels different. I think in the old Firefox days, the line below was called Bookmarks Toolbar ? I can live with this, but I've spent 45 minutes trying to get 'the old way'. Now on that line below the main Search HTML box is also "Other Bookmarks", where I used to keep any site that was not on Bookmark Toolbar. Now this "Other Bookmarks" contains only one Tab called "FireFox Privacy", not any of my old "Other Bookmarks", that I thought I "Imported". I wish that my saved file that I "Export Bookmarks to a HTML.." did, when imported, that I would have been asked "Do you want your Imported Bookmarks to be installed exactly the way you had them when they were Exported?" Also I was on Linux Mint 22.2 on the first disk and also on Linux Mint 22.2 on my new SSD disk.

I used to go to bookmarks right click hit open in new tab and the bookmarks tab would stay so I could open more sites in separate tabs. Now when I hit open in new tab on a bookmark the bookmark tab closes so I have to keep opening it to open additional site?

I hover over bookmark folder, they expand, and the links the folder contains work. (Or) now 80 percent of the time, I hover over the bookmark folder, they don't expand, so I click on the folder to expand it, and 90 percent of the time, the links in the folder do nothing when clicked on. They won't even get highlighted, (selected) I restart firefox, and all works again, for about 10 seconds, and problem occurs again. It goes without saying it gets real frustrating restarting firefox over and over and over again to use another bookmark. I've never experienced this before. This only happens for me on firefox for Linux Mint 22.1. Firefox on windows 11 does not exhibit this problem. Please help, thanks. Cheers...

I cannot move or remove bookmarks on my laptop. The bookmark tool appears locked and does not allow it. Is there another way to move the bookmarks to bookmarks toolbar? My laptop is a MAD RYZEN 5 3500.

I have a pretty through bookmark system. I use folders a lot, and the little window that pops up presents too much confusion if there are a lot of folder already open from previous bookmarking. Is there a method to have bookmark manager open by default upon selecting the bookmark star and allow me to bookmark the current page? Is there a default setting that will open the small bookmark window with all folders closed? If not how do I go about making a suggestion to Mozilla to include this in their next upgrade.

Thanks, Steve

My bookmarks are not being saved anymore. When I try creating a new bookmark, it often simply doesn't work. If I try in troubleshoot mode, it sometimes does, and sometimes doesn't, I have no idea why. Creating new folders, or moving bookmarks, or deleting existing bookmarks is also blocked. In the backup files, I can see the last successful saving of my bookmarks is a month ago, though I'm using Firefox on a daily basis and I can also see that, previously, saves where every couple of days.

I found a recent json file named "bookmarks" in C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\64cqek8b.default-release-1768329501903\weave\failed

The file content : {"ids":[]}

And nothing else.

There's also a squilte file named "bookmarks" in C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\64cqek8b.default-release-1768329501903\weave

The file is dated of today and its size is 1,47 Mo. Which, I believe, shows the data actually exists... but fails to save into json format for some reason.

I hope all needed informations are there, but please ask me if something is missing.

Thank you for reading!

OK recently firefox has been misbehaving in that some bookmarks froze or would not load. I thought it was SKY but other browsers were OK. Managed to refresh Firefox etc which changed the bookmark icons to generic icon of a globe. Then unable to delete / modify / save bookmarks. Followed Mozilla support advice help / more troubleshooting information / profile folder / open folder / check properties / sqlite / change from read only all folder s& subfolders / exit firefox. Icons reappeared but in the address bar is the full URL rather than the original saved bookmark and no blue star to indicate that bookmark. So bookmark works but the URL label instead of the short version is the full version of the URL of Bloggsandco,com TERWF78;ULUFWOUW88UY not Bloggsandco.com and no blue star. I am zero tech savvy before you ask and whilst there may have been a corrupt file in Firefox there have been two fixes with CMD SFC/scannow repairs (W10 64 bit) and now Firefox refresh. Of course lost all extensions and theme on refresh firefox. Any thoughts - have managed now to delete excess bookmarks

Je n'arrive plus à marquer les pages d'un site que j'ai ouvert et que je veux conserver. Je constate cette anomalie depuis quelques jours seulement: qu'est-ce qui ne marche plus?
