Hello, I know it is very problematic to have no quick links. it's usually because a new profile was created or the old one got mixed up.

Here are some ways to restore them : Restore automatic backups :

1. Open Library: Click the Menu button (three lines) > Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks (or press Ctrl + Shift + B).
2. Find Backup: In the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" button.
3. Select Restore: Choose "Restore" and pick a date from the list (choose one before the update).
4. Confirm: Click "OK" to restore your bookmarks from that backup.

Check for profiles :

1. Open about:profiles: Type about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter.
2. Look for Other Profiles: See if there's another profile listed (e.g., default-release) that isn't your main one.
3. Launch Other Profile: Click "Launch profile in new browser" for any other profiles; if your bookmarks appear, you've found the right one.
4. Set as Default (If found): Click "Set as Default Profile" for the correct profile and restart Firefox.

Manual restoration :

1. Navigate to Profile Folder: Type about:support in the address bar, find "Profile Folder," and click "Open Folder".
2. Find Backups: Inside your profile folder, open the bookmarkbackups folder.
3. Restore File: Find the most recent .jsonlz4 file (a backup) and select it when prompted in the "Restore" menu (Method 1, Step 3).

Hope it helps!

Hello dessertdish. That wasn't quite what I was trying to explain. I'm sorry I did such a poor job.

I have tried adding a couple pictures. You see the firefox one? It used to be more like my Brave browser one on the right. In Firefox I had half a screen of... links? I liked it that way. Now they are gone. I did try your suggestions, but all it did was change the stuff on my bookmarks bar. It didn't change my home page, sadly.

Thank you so much for trying to help!

Hello,

Im sorry for the late reply, but there is a way to increase how many rows of quick links: Type about:config in the address bar, search for browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.topSitesRows, and change the value to increase the number of rows.

If not, there are extensions that allow for this in the chrome web store.

also, it is most likely that it was caused by an update.

WARNING from the moderator team: Changing Firefox preferences from the about:config page can sometimes break Firefox or cause strange behavior. You should only do this if you know what you're doing. Please read Firefox advanced customization and configuration options to learn more.

Oh, it was indeed an update that broke it, dessertdish. I know it was because one day everything was fine, the next it wasn't. I despise updates that break things without letting me know ahead of time.

No problem on late reply. Any reply is welcome. I may give it a try and look for an extension. Right now, I am just disillusioned with Firefox for doing that to me. I completely uninstalled it so I will need to reinstall.

Thank you so much again! God bless.
