Firefox is not letting me add any bookmarks, no matter what method I use. I recently installed the Private Bookmarks add-on (addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/webext-private-bookmarks ), there may or may not be a link there.
EDIT: It doesn't even let me change the URL of an existing bookmark if I right-click on it > Properties > [change Location] > Save.
Steps taken so far: 1) Disabled the add-on. 2) Restarted Firefox. 3) Removed the add-on. 4) Dragging the tab to bookmarks toolbar; clicking the star on the address bar; cmd+D; bookmarks > bookmark this page. None work. 5) Deleted some bookmarks (in case there was some sort of limit).
I massively rely on bookmarks so this problem would completely destroy my browser experience. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

To replicate the issue...
1. Add some bookmarks 2. Go to options 3. Ensure Firefox Home (Default) is selected for both homepage and new tabs 4. Ensure Highlghts is checked 5. Uncheck Visited Pages, Most Recent Download and Pages Saved to Pocket leaving Bookmarks checked 6. Open a new tab
Result: Highlights is empty displaying the message "Start browsing, and we’ll show some of the great articles, videos, and other pages you’ve recently visited or bookmarked here."
What I expected... the bookmarks saved in step 1
How can you get bookmarked pages appearing in the Firefox home page?
Why can't Bookmarks be renamed after they're created?
Can this be done in Firefox? I know in Microsoft Edge bookmarks can be renamed.

Dear community,
I'm really frustrated by the yesterday update on firefox version 69.0.3 (64-Bit). It automatically installed a new profile (without any question!).
Today I started firefox and found out, that all my data wasn't migrated to the new profile. So I had to search for a solution and was able to switch to the old profile.
Although for safety reasons I wanted to backup my bookmarks. The export to a json- or a html-file is not possible. No error is shown! Simply no file is saved when I click on the save-button!
Also a downgrade to version 68 didn't bring a solution, because there I was not able to switch to my default-profile. The error message was shown, that the profile could be ruined, if it was already updated to the new version 69 and used there.
Because of the update I was forced to register to Firefox Sync and to uplad all my data there. I did never want to upload my bookmarks, passwords and addons somewhere to the internet.
I'm really frustrated by this update (after so many years of being a satisfied firefox user) and am thinking about an alternative browser.
I hope somebody can help me to not lose all my data.
Thank you Best Wishes Stan
PS: another error happened when I wanted to post this request: I clicked on "Automatically add" the Troubleshooting information. Then an error site was opened and when I wanted to go back all the request was erased...

The backup files don't even exist. The html file is gone from the HD of the computer. Launched firefox the other day and the bookmarks were just gone. Everything was reset-homepage, add ons, etc. I have tried all of the recommended fixes listed in the lost bookmarks questions and none solve my issues.

Whenever a new bookmark is now created, I am unable to specify the folder within which to create it. The only way the new bookmark is visible is under "Recently Bookmarked" of which there are two folders.
Also I am unable to create a new sub-folder. The folder is being created as "stand alone".
Thanks for any help on this.
What the stuff have you done to bookmarks?
The update to bookmarks is totally counterintuitive. It now takes twice the number of clicks to get to frequently used bookmarks. Why?
How can I order all my bookmarks in chronological order?
somehow they were changed. i want the order from newest to oldest. thanks.
how to get 'save this bookmark' back and how to get a longer list of favorites folders when adding a bookmark

I seem to have a related problem now, along with my original problem, that prevents me from using Firefox as my default web browser. For some reason now, all of a sudden, the menu option "save this bookmark" has disappeared from my list to do so!!!! I have attached a screen shot so you can see what I mean. My main problem that I find infuriating, is when I want to save a bookmark to my long list of favorites folders (well over 300, not including the sub-folders!!) is that the number of clicks that are needed to just get the list, but once the list is accessible, all I can see is about a list of the top 5 or 6 folders!!! This takes me WAY too long to scroll through my list to find the right folder, and if I have the same named sub-folder, in multiple main folders, how do I know which one I am in, unless I scroll up and down to verify which one of the main folders I am currently in? I still use IE just because theirs is so much easier to use and doesn't take anywhere near as long to add a bookmark, but since it is so old, I keep getting a notice that it is out of date, even if it will display the webpage properly given the changes to how webpages are now programmed and IE no longer gets any updates. Chrome is even worse, given that they constantly want to keep track of you or have you log in to anything of theirs that you use, so I don't use Google. What I want is a simple button (like what is/was) available in IE that with one click gets me a long list of my folders so that I can see my many many folders to choose from, can scroll through the list as needed to make a selection, WITH all folders and sub-folders visible, select the one I want, and if necessary an option to add a new sub-folder, and then I am done, and it closes (I have added a screen shot of what IEs list looks like and you can see the button on the top left of my favorites menu down the left hand side, to add a new bookmark) I have counted the number of clicks needed to finish adding a bookmark in Fire fox and in IE and the number difference is ridiculous!! WHY CAN'T THIS BE SIMPLER????? But now for some reason I can't even add a new bookmark since it is missing, so I guess Firefox no longer wants me to use their software by allowing the option from being removed! How did this happen?! Everything about Firefox is terrific I find EXCEPT this lack of ability to simple add a bookmark to a favorite folder. This prevents me from making Firefox my go-to browser. I want to switch over, but since you make it too complicated, FORGET IT!!!! If you ever change this to something more suitable, I am all ready to make the switch, but it is seriously lacking.
For right now I need to know how to add a bookmark, and, is there any way to tell Firefox to make the list of folders when adding a bookmark longer?
After Firefox updated a few days ago, all of my bookmarks disappeared. I have tried to get them back, but nothing has worked.
I have tried a number of recommended methods, and nothing has worked. History does not acknowledge anything before the Firefox update.
Reoccurring bookmarks as I open FireFox for the first time in the AM.

I have used FireFox almost since its inception. I am using Build 69.0.1 (64 bit) on a Microsoft 10 computer.
I am finding this problem: close FireFox or accidentally clicked on the Close X in upperright (multiple Windows open.) As I open to re-establish a session for email, etc, FireFox begins to populate my tab bar with previously opened and closed tabs. Some of these tab's history can go back several weeks, if not longer. The tabs can come up for various items: Email tabs, YouTube l;inks, my MSN.com website, etc.
I have cleaned history (everything) twice without this problem going away. Under Options: I have click on to remove cookies when FireFox closes. I have removed and rechecked to make sure the history for everything is gone. Yet the problem still persists.
Hope I have provided sufficient information.

I have twelve sites (or folders) on my bookmark toolbar. This morning the order of the bookmarks was changed. I moved the bookmarks back to my preferred order and after using Firefox for 1 hour, the bookmark order changed again. I used to have many more bookmarks on the toolbar, but after they started moving, I moved all but twelve to "other bookmarks". Anything you can do to stop moving the bookmarks would be appreciated! Thank you. Chris
