Firefox supportforum

Hi A few of my bookmarks title in bookmarks toolbar get shortened even though there's even longer ones. I tried this solution that worked to some degree but didn't solve the problem and every time I add or edit a bookmark those bookmarks get shortened again. This issue accrued after the last update.

I want to take Firefox bookmarks from old computer and put them on new one. Old computer has Windows 10. New computer has Windows 11, Firefox 102? I can't sync.

stupidly I downgraded to an earlier version as the latest version appeared not to easily change for one website to another. in the process I lost all my Bookmarks .Now I am on latest version without my bookmarks. How do I recover them ?

Tried the instruction to use import & back up but box appears for exporting files but its blank and I cannot populate the box. I want to back up bookmarks prior to changing to a new computer (desktop tower using MS Windows 10)

Hello:

New computer; logged into Firefox; apparently synced; ... where are my bookmarks? I have purchased and set-up many PC's in my life. Why would this occur now -- for the first time ever for me?

I have installed moiziklle on a new device all my bookmarks have disappeared, can you recover them from my account because they do not appear on all devices and I did not make a backup manually, I tried to restore but it does not help, I do not have an html copy either please help me

I installed an older ESR version on a used laptop I got a few weeks ago. Everything's working fine, except the following issue with Bookmarks:

On my Bookmarks Library page I keep two columns, Name and Added (because on some folders I have many bookmarks and I track them by the date added). When I move any bookmarks to another folder, the "added" date becomes the date and time I moved them(!). Also, when I change the bookmark "name", it also changes the "added" to the date I changed it(!). Basically Added is acting like Last Modified.

Any ideas what's going on? I've never had this issue before.

Previously i was able to pin a website so t hat when i clicked my blank address bar a short list of websites ive pinned would appear and i wouldnt need to type in the website. I have explored multiple settings and ive discovered the Pin button/icon is completely gone. I cant pin new sites and i cant remove the sites that are already there. Where can i find this button, setting, or option?

I just had to recovery my Windows installation and all of my apps were removed during the process. I reinstalled Firefox and then tried to login to my account (Sync) and I couldn't remember my password. I then reset my password and then tried to sync my bookmarks and everything was gone and nothing was restored....is there a archive of my bookmarks available somewhere I can restore them? Please help!

My bookmarks list contains at least five bookmarks toolbars, five recent tags, multiple and five Other Bookmarks folders. The folders in the various Other Bookmarks folders are not all identical, and the contents of folders with the same name may differ somewhat. In different Other Bookmarks folders, there may be additional bookmarks that were never assigned to a folder. These apparently are not always carried forward to the newest version.

I assume that this mess has something to do with automatically-saved bookmark lists. I would like to clean it up expediently without losing data.

Clean-up questions: What is the most expedient way of making sure I have a single list containing all my folders, including those from previous lists? When folders are carried forward, I assume they they contain the same bookmarks. Is this a correct assumption? Or are some of these also deleted? If I delete a folder with a particular name from an earlier list, will that folder be deleted from all the other lists?

Right-clicking on a folder does not provide a Rename option. Is there some other way to do this? (I searched for How do I rename a bookmark folder? 18 pages of 'hits'. After 11 screens of useless information about bookmark problems, I gave up).

Prevention questions: I would like to avoid having the same thing happen in the future. What is it that determines whether a folder or a file is left behind?

Hello,

I couldn't open my Firefox browser on my Windows 10 so I uninstalled the app and downloaded a new Firefox browser. How do I get all my bookmarks from my old Firefox browser to the new one?

Thanks.
