My previous version of Firefox was upgraded last night in the new version I can not locate my previous bookmarks and associated log in, are you able to advise how i can transfer them over and where they are located? Kind Regards Steve

Long story short...I lost my hard drive, reinstalled windows....I never used a firefox login on this laptop. I do have a backup of all my data/appfiles --- actually i cloned the failed drive. So I have this directory in my backups:

D:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\810aqnu7.default-release-1636153011215\bookmarkbackups. There are a bunch of JSON versions of bookmarkfiles there stored....how can i get my bookmarks back with these files?

where is the "current bookmark files" stored? which directory?

thanks in advance.

bold textI need to sync my phone to my new computer so I can get my bookmarks and passwords transferred over to my new computer. I am afraid to scan the QR code because it reads as if it will sync this empty canvas to my phone and wipe all of my data out. What steps do I need to take?

Hello,

Is there a way to force bookmark icons to show up in the web browser? I need to know, as it really bothers me to have the grey globe icon showing up. Thanks,

Brian

The dozens of bookmarks I had that I did not put in folders has grown in numbers exponentially. I don't know how. I had nothing to do with it. I went from having about 200 bookmarks (outside of what I had in separate folders) to what seems to be roughly 5000. This is ridiculous. How can I 1, correct this, and 2, stop if from happening again.

Now that my search engine for Firefox start page (Bing) have stopped showing images for older browsers (I just get a blank grey screen with their search bar).

Upgrading FF is not an option.

I want to use my own image (but not sure how to go about this). A Bookmark ?

Thanks

Please help me get my bookmarks back. I've tried all of the suggestions that I understand. There's one that says to go select a file, but it doesn't say where the file is ...

This is my work computer, I need my bookmarks and login information.

Thanks, Allison

Firefox automatically reshows bookmarks toolbar any time I save a bookmark using the "Star" option even though it is set to not display.

I have to manually turn it off even though it is turned off.

Can you PLEASE honor my setting by NOT turn it on in the first place?... in other words, without having to manually turn it off again!

This gets very annoying and it wastes space when displaying web pages.

Thank you!

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?

I use pinned tabs for gmail, calendar, etc. How can they be pinned permanently? When there is a shutdown/restart/signoff my pinned gmail tab requires a new signin which open in a new tab. I have to close the pinned tab and repin the new one for each open tab (gmails, cal, contacts...)

The bookmarks menu sidebar disappears shortly after opening Firefox on its own after update to 108.0.1 and needs to be re-opened manually, why is this and is there a solution?

Somehow my bookmarks have become corrupted. When I follow the instructions in how to restore old bookmarks, only 5 days show up...and that's when the problem began. So now I cannot find any of my valuable bookmarks. Any ideas why I cannot see more "history"?

I am trying to edit my bookmarks, deleting those no longer needed, etc. However, I now have several versions in my bookmark folders, an up to date one, an original one, and an in-between one. They seem to show up randomly. Why is this happening? If I delete or edit a bookmark, can't it stay edited or deleted?
