Firefox Support Forum

My computer crashed 10 days ago- & my Firefox browser disappeared along with several on screen folders

When I started checking for a reason, the only thing I found, was that my C Drive was almost out of memory

When I re-loaded Firfow, 8 years of Research tabs/ bookmarks were gone... Can you help

                                C Crow

Win 7 64 bit. 109.0.1 (64-bit) I have two admin user accounts. On number two when I bookmark a page it automatically puts a folder on the toolbar.

in number one it puts in the bookmark pull down [where you click Bookmarks from the menu bar] and I can create a folder on the toolbar if I want. I want.

I do not want all boomarks to be on the toolbar but want the toolbar shown as i want to be able to add a folder

Can't select for 'New Folder' in 'Chose' when I bookmark. 'New Folder' is not highlighted. The window says 'Quick Bookmarks is disabled. Is that the problem? How do I enable it?

Hi all,

I basically have the same question as this one, but I don't understand the chosen solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257189

When I installed FF on this laptop, I imported successfully my bookmarks, but for some reason for one particular (large) folder, its bookmarks "Description" field was not imported.

I have both the HTML and the json backup bookmarks files. With the HTML file I can copy and paste individual bookmarks and descriptions, but I have probably over 1,000 bookmarks in this folder.

Thank you.

When I go to recent bookmarks list in firefox and select one, firefox is vectored off to paydaydeals.com I have right click the bookmark and looked at the bookmark details and they look fine. I have check add-ons and extensions none are listed as installed. How is firefox being vectored off to this site? See screen shots. I have scanned with Malwarebytes latest version and Eset online scanner no bugs found.

How can I fix this?

thank you ashley

My computer crashed and I lost my Firefox browser settings, history, bookmarks, etc. Had to reinstall the the whole thing. I suppose there may have been a way to get everything back, but I didn't have access to that info at the time. I transferred my bookmarks from my other browsers to Firefox, but they just show up in a folder. Is there any way to transfer all of it so that everything shows on one list, without moving each one line by line?

Has anyone noticed that the Bookmark's / Daily Links 'pointer' gets reset to top of the list after selecting a bookmark?

Seeing this issue on a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I.e. (Example only) Say a user has 100 bookmarks on main toolbar [many bookmarks saved under Daily Links or under the ">>" icon] ...and user chooses any stored link/bookmark, say for example, ...approximately link/bookmark #50; that tab opens okay. After doing so, maybe user chooses to open another link in same listing nearby-say #51 bookmark in a new tab browser window (multitasking etc.), ...often now, user gets put to top of said list, to bookmark#1 (especially after ) selecting a saved bookmark by clicking on either the ">>" icon or selecting "Daily Links".

In my experience with Firefox, this action never reverted back to top of either list prior to latest 110.0 update (64bit). I haven't tried issue to see if repeated on Windows 10 or higher yet. Appreciate any insight or bug solution to this scrolling issue using bookmark toolbars.

Starting today, for some reason when I access my bookmarks, I have to start from the very top of all my lists of bookmarks. In the past when I accessed a bookmark, and then a clicked on the bookmark tab to access ANOTHER bookmark, my bookmark list would show where I had left off from the previous bookmark within that list. Now when I access a another bookmark after I had accessed a previous bookmark, my bookmark list starts from the very top of it instead of where I was previously within that bookmark list. Being I have many bookmarks, it is a real pain to have to constantly scroll down from the top of my bookmark list every time to access another bookmark. This peculiar situation just started today. In the past this would NOT happen when I accessed my bookmarks. Can someone please explain and help me? Thank you.

Hej.

In other bookmarks i have hundreds of bookmarks, it takes me a minute or two to get to the bottom. earlier when i selected a bookmark it would turn up at the same place, when i come back to other bookmarks, but it now starts at the top every time. ?

Hope you can help me.

Starting yesterday, for some reason when I access my bookmarks, I have to start from the very top of all my lists of bookmarks. In the past when I accessed a bookmark, and then a clicked on the bookmark tab to access ANOTHER bookmark, my bookmark list would show where I had left off from the previous bookmark within that list.

Now when I access a another bookmark after I had accessed a previous bookmark, my bookmark list starts from the very top of it instead of where I was previously within that bookmark list. Being I have many bookmarks, (100's) it is a real pain to have to constantly scroll down from the top of my bookmark list every time to access another bookmark. I didn't have to do this previously. When I accessed bookmarks AFTER I accessed a given bookmark, the bookmark list stayed where I was previously located within my bookmark list. This made it easy to access my next bookmark selection! It sure is handy being all the hundreds of bookmarks I have, to have the list not ALWAYS revert back to the top of my bookmark list every time I want to find a bookmark!

This peculiar situation just started yesterday. In the past this would NOT happen when I accessed my bookmarks.

Looking at the bookmark manager and bookmark library I don't see options the change how the bookmark list is presented? 

Can someone please help me and explain how do get back my old bookmark list actuation process? Thank you.

Hi All my icons changed to a globe image yesterday. I don't know why. However, I discovered that if I opened a bookmark, the correct icon reappeared. With 30 bookmarks to work on, this seemed like a lot of time, BUT your can "Open All Bookmarks in Tabs" and if you wait long enough, all your icons will be restored to those which the websites supply.

I have three problems. One is, as my title, I have to do Ctrl D two times to have "Edit Bookmark". The second is, frequently, the link that I open in another tab reaches nothing. Sometimes, reenter it in the tab (and press Enter) works, sometimes not. Sometimes, enter it in another tab works, sometimes not. When it works in another tab, the link appears in the first tab also. The third annoying thing is not necessarily related to you. Sometimes, when I try to open a Youtube link in another tab with the middle mouse button, the tab don't open.

I looked for info on "how to save a window". Googling got me to : https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/941808

a. That article is out of date. And, like so many, IT DOES NOT STATE TO WHAT VERSIONS OF FIREFOX IT APPLIES. That is nuissance, considering how often Firefox changes.

b. That article also states to right click and tab and use "Bookmark All Tabs". There is no such right click option. (ff v107.1)

Useless, out-of-date articles should not be archived when they become obsolete. Or, they should be archived with an indication that they no longer apply.

c. How do I save a window?
