Hello, I have my most used bookmarks in the "Bookmark Menu" folder. The other bookmarks are in folders located in the " Other Bookmarks" folder and I have 6 links in the "Bookmarks Toolbar".

When I need to backup I use Export Bookmarks to HTML and save on PC.

Problem is that when I use Import Bookmarks from HTML, all folders are empty including Bookmarks Toolbar. All the missing links are now added to the bottom in Bookmark Menu. I now have to cut and paste the links back into the empty folders.

Why are the links not going back to the same place when importing back.

recent iOS update to Catalina 10.15.7 resulted in deleting Firefox entirely. Just reloaded Firefox browser (which I prefer to Safari) but none of my bookmarks survived. Can I restore them from some record of them within Firefox? or do I just have to recreate them all?

Firefox version: 95.0.1 x64 on Linux Mint 19.1, running in safe-mode

As title says, the 'Mobile Bookmarks' folder synced from a Firefox Android aren't saved when exporting the bookmarks to an HTML file. They ARE saved during 'Backup to a JSON' but HTML with 20,000 bookmarks is much easier to edit than a JSON (unless anyone has a handy and quick JSON editor recommendation?).

So bug, or notbug?

I lost a whole Ext4 partition, however it appears that there is chances to recover raw data from my disk. There is a very important profile within the lost partition that contains very important bookmarks. Now if I want to use file carving techniques for recovering the lost data, which formats or text patterns may help to identify the data? Can I specify lz4 and sqlite formats? what are the other formats? Which text pattern can I use to recover the bookmark files using grep tool over raw disk data?

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Attempting to add a tag is not working, once I close the bookmark editor the tag just added is gone.

The feature where when you began to type the tag in the box and it gave you a drop down list has stopped working.

Attempting to add a tag while in the library to existing bookmarks: the tag vanishes.

Attempting to create a new tag: once you exit, the tag is gone.

In Firefox Mozilla, for years I could view my bookmarks by going to: menu bar>bookmarks>[a drop-down window of my bookmarks would display]. That drop down even showed new folders or categories I had created in my bookmarks menu. That drop-down no-longer shows. (How) can I make it show again?

They, by default, go to Other Bookmarks. I want them to go to the Bookmarks Menu - without having to go through the process of editing the bookmark location via the dialogue box.

Thanks for the help!

I am personally studying the subject of "Neuroplasticity" for my own further education? I had a quite serious accident in 2012, which unfortunately left me with "slight" brain damage? I use the word slight to describe it, as that was the word "experts" used? How tragically mistaken they were in using that word? hahaha !!!! Anyway, some specific parts of my brain made me a physical cripple? By strength of will & great physical effort I was able to turn the clock back in my mind to an earlier era in my life? About 20 or 30 years? Although I was 65+ when I left hospital, visits to a friend in The Philippines, & great deal of help patience & effort from her enabled me to get my mind & body back to the level of fitness that I thought I had immediately before the accident? Which I perceived or imagined was approximately age 45 to 50? Anyway, more on this subject for anybody who has sufficient interest to write & enquire? All that I need to know now is how to create a bookmark or file containing only "NEUROPLASTCITY" items or website links?

hey you guys,

I've been having plenty of weird stuff happen lately with a lot of different software programs. MS office, my website, my FTP client and now this whole thing with FF. right now, if I del/add/edit a bookmark in the BM bar on top of the browser window, the change is not reflected THERE or in the "show bookmarks" window where you can see all of you BM's. Is there a reason for this? or is this just a consequence of MS not paying attention to their windows updates? thanks!

I'd like for my Top Sites page to just display my Saved Sites or Favorites. But Firefox keeps adding Recently Visited Sites to that window. I read that I can stop that by deleting some History, but I don't want to delete any History. How do I keep all my History intact and also stop Recently Visited Sites from showing up automatically in my Top Sites window?

At the end of my list of bookmarks is "Other Bookmarks" which has a subdirectories again and again "Other Booksmarks" It is EXTREMELY ANNOYING and I can't get rid of it. Please help me. Larry

Usually I'm using the Firefox 'sync' feature from my WIn10 desktop. Now I want to 'download' the stored bookmarks to a Linux desktop. Can I use the sync feature for that? (It appears that the bookmarks are not being 'downloaded / sync'ed). Any advise much appreciated.

my bookmarks list chopped off half of them, then says use control shift b to see all bookmarks. When I do that another box opens on left side of page and it's empty and no matter what I hit on there nothing shows up. I want either all my bookmarks back or at least be able to condense what I do have so at least can see and use the most important ones. I already deleted the json file, nothing happened.

I'm using Firefox version 73.0.1 (64-bit) (which is currently the latest) on a Mac. Whenever I try to access Google Drive Starred or Recent via bookmarks, I get that error message. This used to work until a few days ago, so I assume some update broke it. I tried to refresh Firefox and delete the cookies, but that didn't work. Private windows don't work either. Other browsers like Safari work great.
