Bookmarks fetching titles when dragged and dropped by mouse
Hello people,
Lately, I've been having the problem with bookmars.
When I want to save my favourite pages to specific folders I created for different areas, I always used the method where you click in panel with www address e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/, the whole address is now selected and I drag that addres to specific folder of mine. When placed, the bookmark was saved to that folder, but in addition to that, Mozila browser also fetched bookmark title with title of the page.
So after drag-and-dropping the link https://support.mozilla.org/ I ended up with bookmark in my folder, that looked like this: "Get Support | Mozilla Support"
Now when I do the same procedure, I just copy the link addres itself. So it ends up like this: "https://support.mozilla.org"
You get the idea. )Where did the feature of fetching titles dissapear? Can it be returned back?
I've been using bookmarks this way (drag-and-drop by mouse to specific folder) since I can remember. And this problem occured just week ago. It helps me to speed up my process faster than using the star icon. And now I dont even know what I saved when I look at my folder and try to make sence of it the next day, because everything I can see is link addresses.
I tried it on many computers and many diferent systems Win10 11 etc and I still get the same problem. I tried it with reinstalling Firefox, with deafult settings, in normal or inkognito mode. Nothing works.
Any help? Can this be fixed?
Best regars, J

You can drag the tab or link to the bookmarks toolbar or sidebar instead of the URL in the location bar if that is what you are doing.

Hi, I've made a post about the same problem before finding yours. For now my workaround is the following:
- use CTRL+D to bookmark the page
- Hit CTRL+D again to edit that bookmark
- Copy the contents of the title field
- Click the "Remove Bookmark" button
- Bookmark the page the way you're used to
- Hit CTRL+D to edit the bookmark, paste the previously copied title into the relevant field, then click save.
This is quite a cumbersome workaround for now, but it works at least.

Thanks for advice, but thats pretty time consuming. I suggest you try drag-and-drop the whole TAB to your specific folder, as adviced by cor-el above.
