Can we move sidebar to bottom? I am interested in using a Find and Replace addon and have it snap to the bottom and appear where the vanilla Ctrl+F find bar appears. I know there is no GUI option to do this as described in (https://mzl.la/3vUbsmq) which only offers left/right but could there be a way to do this with userchrome css? I would have no idea where to begin in coding such a thing.

Thanks

1. 1 When I open firefox there is a bookmarks toolbar displayed at the top.

1. 2 When I go Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > click Bookmarks Toolbar > the bookmarks don't match what I see in the browser in #1 above.

How do I fix this?

I uploaded a screen shot of the browser toolbar and the application bookmarks toolbar.

Do you see that they are not the same in my attached image?

The browser tool bar has PurpC after FamilyS. Application (in manage book marks) the bookmarks toolbar has LFTWeb after FamilyS. I want the browser to match what is in the application Bookmark Toolbar.

I have turned sync off, that caused the issue in the first place. I had a recent saved bookmark file, that matches what is in the application, it is not updating the toolbar in the browser.

Thanks, Stacey

Hello,

I have recently been having difficulties with my Firefox Bookmark bar at the top of the screen.

The addresses change and I cannot use them. They look different. I just updated them a day ago and they've already gone back to this look and don't work anymore.

Please see screenshot.

Thank you.

Every time I try and delete bookmarks my firefox locks up. I have 3,500 bookmarks I need to delete and can't. If I can't delete them I will just delete firefox and use chrome

I loaded firefox 108.0.1 (64-bit) on my new computer with windows 11 Home. I imported my old bookmarks from my old computer and they seem to to work OK. But when I add new a bookmark to one of my old folders that I imported the bookmark does not show up when I use the icon “Show your Bookmarks”. If I go to “Manage Bookmarks” and go to the file the bookmark it is there.

The bookmarks are constantly changing to where I can no longer use them. I'll bookmark them to a folder one day and the next day their URL and icon has changed and goes to a totally different site. What's happened? Using Foxfire browser

I wish to have 2 toolbars with all my shortcuts on as i use only FAVICONS and have ran out of room, and a lot of sites i only remember to use if i see the FAVICON

is this possible - im ascustomed to about:config etc..

thanks

Hello,

I am working in Mac OS 13.2 and just reinstalled Firefox after my OS has to be wiped and restored due to a OS file being corrupted.

When I sign back into Firefox my bookmarks did not re-sync. I followed the “profile / manage bookmarks / restore” instruction, where reportedly Firefox keeps the last 15 back-ups, but I am only getting seeing back-up from the day I reinstalled the browser, so it’s empty.

How do I access my bookmark back ups from a few days ago?

Worst case, I have a time capsule back up. What is the file path to find a file to import Firefox bookmarks?

Thank you!

Some background first: To start with, I don't do clouds or file sharing, and almost no social media. I used to do bimonthly backups (to any of three external hard drives) until my wife died four years ago. Never thought about it again until very late December. Decided I'd do it on January 1. Hard drive crashed on December 29, on an older laptop running Windows 10. Paid an obscene amount of money for the (successful) data recovery effort, and have it all on an external hard drive. That older laptop had other (physical) problems as well, so I bought a new one running Windows 11 while the data recovery effort was going on. I've been using Firefox exclusively for 20 years, I imagine, and I've got hundreds of bookmarks. (I tend to do a lot of research.)

Current issue: When I installed Firefox on the new laptop, it wanted to import bookmarks, but of course, they weren't available. Got the recovery drive back. Researched... located the folders that Mozilla says contains the bookmarks. Stopped Firefox. ...AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles Renamed the folders therein. Copied the similarly named folders from the recovery drive to this location. (Names and/or extensions were similar, but not exact.) Fired up Firefox. Deep sigh. It didn't work. Stopped Firefox again. Renamed the file extensions. Fired up Firefox again. Back up and running again, your witness, I'm writing this.

So, it's not a matter of simple file substitution. Is there another way to recover bookmarks from a file?

Hello to the support team of Mozilla, I had a computer that cannot be reopened due to a virus and Malware. However, I have a bookmarks setting with Firefox that has not been imported. I did not have an account (or at least that I can remember) with Firefox. I just set up one today. I had written that I had an account under the username jackhsiao, but I was not able to log in.

I would like to know if I can import my bookmarks that were on the browser of my computer that I can no longer access.

Thank you,

Jack Hsiao

I'm seeing multiple complaints, concerns, questions about bookmarks and favorites. I too do not see the Favorites/Bookmarks that use to be at the top of the window for Foxfire. I have looked all over for a setting to put this back on the main page and have found none. Bookmarks/Favorites should be part of the main window and easily accessible. It was a very poor choice to take it away. The "Other Bookmarks" does not come close to what I had in the bookmarks previously and how I had it organized. I will use another browser because this is so frustrating. I will check back from time to time to see when Mozilla/Foxfire is back to the way it was previously.

I am experimenting with changing from Microsoft Edge to Firefox. However, a couple of bookmarks that have favicons in Microsoft Edge do not appear to work in Firefox. Attached is a .gif showing me trying to add https://app.powerbi.com to the bookmark bar. You can see that there is an icon on the tab, along with an icon that appears when trying to drag to the bookmark bar. However, when it gets to the bookmark bar, it goes back to the default icon and does not show the actual favicon. The same thing happens when trying to add https://vscode.dev. However, both of those sites have favicon images in the bookmark bar on Microsoft Edge.

Any ideas on how to get the favicon to appear would be greatly appreciated. I understand that it may seem a pretty trivial thing, but I do a lot of screen recordings for my work, and want all of the icons on the bar to appear.

Hello

Having tried, it does not seem possible for me to install/upload/migrate bookmarks I have stored on Firefox on an old computer, to my new computer.

Can you help please.

hi my email: [email removed from public] i transfered firfox open tabs( i have android phone) from my phone to pc firefox 3 months ago. i collected them a long time and saved them in a folder with name mobile bookmark in my pc and then i cleaned all firefox data on my phone to speed up it . today i referred to see the bookmarks in my pc, the folder - mobile bookmark- was there but was empty. i searched net and read some suggestion as yours : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-firefox-update but i can not see my bookmark . how can i do now? do you have any suggestion?

I mistakenly exited the left side bookmark sidebar. I would like to return it to the default setting, but have not been able to find instructions to do so or find a way to do it through the given menus.

I followed instructions for adding bookmarks from html file. Got to "import from html" page shows No Items. There does not seem to be a way to select the local html file. I am using ubuntu 22.04.

Took screenshot but add images browse button does not bring up file list.

My Mac iOS updated and erased all my firefox bookmarks. I tried to log in and it created a new account instead of logging in to my firefox account. i need help recovering my saved bookmarks

Firefox deleted a bunch of my stuff- customization, bookmarks, settings, add ons and most importantly history and cookies, annihilating my browser game save which I had for over a year.

It did so without my knowledge or permission, and I want to know why that happened, and why can't I recover the most important stuff- my history and save from the game.

I copy and pasted all the files inside "old firefox data" folder and it brought back my bookmarks and add ons, but it did not recover my settings and history.

Putting everything back to how it should be will take me ages, and I won't be able to find some important websites I usually would access by history.

So, can someone tell me, why firefox just did that without my permission or even knowledge? And if there is a way to bring my stuff back, because I'm really not in the mood of setting up the whole browser after I've already done so when I decided to switch to it.

Thank you for any help.
