Firefox no longer allows me to bookmark web sites that I want for place in my bookmark folders. I have encountered several situation when trying to bookmark a web site:

1- When I get to a site that I want to bookmark, I go to "Bookmarks", select and click on "Bookmark Current Tab" and nothing happens. On prior versions of Firefox, another panel would be presented where I would have the option to file the current tab to an existing Firefox folder or create an new folder.

Now I do not have that option available to me. These problems seems to to have started with the upgrade to 134.0.2

2- When I go to "Bookmarks" and select "Manage Bookmarks" I am able to see a listing of of the bookmarks but the list is not complete. I have preciously established and used the bookmark labeled as "Woodworking" which is no longer present, in fact the the last alphabetical listed bookmark is "Ryobi".

I did have and was able to use the bookmark "Woodworking" in the past. Why is everything beyond "Ryobi missing?

3 - Some times when I go to use bookmarks it does show provide me with the panel that would allow me to bookmark the current tab but it will not allow me to create a new folder where I want to place the current tab..

4 -I have tried to go to an older version of Firefox but have been unable to locate where I can obtain it. Would going back to an older version resolve my issues and if so where can I get an older version?

I have been using Firefox for many years and never had issues and have been very happy with it. Anything guidance you can provide to resolve these bookmark issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Victor

Confused. I've never used it, but Is this list meant to convey that I've used it five times, in relation somehow to Reddit and Youtube?

Are those address automatically created upon addon installation? Are they still available for use, or Is that just their way of informing me that if I want to use Relay going forward I'll have to pay?

How to remove all Firefox wallpapers for start page that are included? I want my start page black but all you have are other colors, abstract, etc. These wallpaper choices are stored somewhere inside Firefox 135. I want to remove them all. Also after searching from Firefox start page, the background turns an ugly navy blue. Here would be a great example of where solid black would also look better. So how do you make both of these pages display only black, white or gray? With NO other options or clutter. I do not want to see any other colors or designs one of your interns picked out.

How can I get back to having my Outlook emails back into datal order i.e. latest at the top? I hate that it's alphabetical, it's just not practical as there are often a lot of emails I neither want to delete or put into folders, but I do want to immediately be able to see current, particularly unopened emails, at the top and not having to scroll down through all the others before getting to them - it is ridiculous!

Is the Primary (formerly called "Master") password shared or Firefox synchronised between different devices?

The reason that I ask this is that I am a decrepit and ignorant old bugger in his 8th decade that has been using Firefox for nearly 25 years. Consequently I have a lot of passwords stored in Firefox's password manager that I REALLY do not want to lose.

Unfortunately, on my main desktop machine, becoming more paranoid after a suspected identity theft attack, I decide to change the Master Password (recently re-named to Primary Password) to something longer and harder to guess or break.

Unfortunately I have forgotten what I changed it to ! (I can remember the first 15 characters but then not the ending sequence...)

However, I discovered that on an old laptop (that had not been connected to the internet for a long time - and I've disconnected it from the local Wi-Fi now) that my old password still worked and I could still see many of the old passwords (since it had not been synchronised).

I am worried that if I try and restore my passwords by now connecting to the internet and synchronising, I will then be locked out of this remaining treasury of my passwords if Firefox synchronisation then disastrously changes the old password (that I still remember) to the new password that I have forgotten - hence my question...

PS: I still have a paper record of something called an "Account Recovery Key" consisting of 8 groups of 4 alphanumeric characters (each group only contains capital letters and numerals - although one 4 character group does not contain any numerals at all, but all groups have at least one capital letter). Could I use this to recover the misremembered new password?

PPS: Don't you think it is always a bad idea to include both zeroes and letter Oh for Oscars in this account recovery key as capital letters rather than lower case letters, since they look so similar?

ie z00 or zoo is less prone to confusion that Z00 or ZOO

Hi!

I have not thought about changes to Firefox and after speaking to someone I found out a potential change that I was not aware of.

I have not been able to find a definitive (except AI generated) answer to confirm or deny his claim that Firefox switched over to Chrome/Chromium's web engine.

My understanding is that they have always used their own being a FOSS alternative to major brands.

I use 133.0.3 (64bit) Mozilla Firefox for Arch Linux archlinux - 1.0 (right now but updates are very common)

Am I in reality using Chrome/Chromium just in different clothes, or is this still the same FOSS Firefox that I have been using for years?

As a side note, I did find out that the coding for Extensions/Add-ons have been updated to reflect the way that they are coded from Chrome/Chromium but that is not enough to give me a definitive answer as to the underlying interface.
