Φόρουμ υποστήριξης - Firefox

Before I took my computer to a repair facility and had to reinstall Firefox, my recent activity bar had all the websites I use and wanted quick access to along one lovely line. Now I have a bunch of "suggested" crap Firefox must be getting paid for along my recent activity bar. I've never visited these pages and selecting the menu trying to dismiss them doesn't work. How do I eliminate the sponsored sites and get what I want along the recent activity bar?

In the past, when I wanted to save a bookmark I could choose a specific folder to save it to. So for example, if I found a newsource that I wanted to bookmark to my News folder I would click on Bookmarks, Bookmark Current Tab and a dialogue box popped up that allowed me to choose the folder to save the bookmark to. This dialogue box no longer opens when I click on Bookmark Current Tab. Instead, all bookmarks are automatically saved to my Other Bookmarks folder and I have to drag them to the folder I want. I'm not exactly sure if this change happened with a Firefox update, or if I did something to change the process. Is there a way that I can fix this and have the choose a folder dialogue box pop up when I save a folder? Thanks for your help, Jeff

I KEEP HITTING ALTERNATIVELY :"dismiss" and "delete from history" but some i have to do it 40 0r 50 times before it stops popping back up

GARBAGE SOFTWARE

FF 100.0.2 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

I have deleted my bookmarks with the Bookmark manager, but where are they now? I cannot find them in /trash and all of the *bookmark* files on my laptop are miniscule (like 127 bytes.) The json files are no better, when I imported previous bookmark files they were empty.

I managed to restore the single-spacing for bookmarks, kept a prior version of FF, and fought off nags to update every time I opened FF . . . until now when I was tricked into "allowing this app to make updates to your PC". It wasn't the usual nag button and I thought it was some kind of simple bug fix, but no, I was "upgraded" to v. 100.0.2 and my bookmark spacing fix was overwritten. Furious isn't strong enough to describe my reaction. All this time, and all the other complaints, yet I find no way to decrease the excessive spacing between bookmarks. I understand that this design may be better for those who use a finger on their screens, but what about us mouse-pointer users? Why are we so disrespected? What can I do to decrease the space between bookmarks?

'On my firefox browser, the bookmark toolbar disappeared and wans moved from the left margin. How do I get it back to the left margin and auto open on every tab?'

In my Bookmarks Toolbar I have created a Folder, 'News' and placed it at extreme left, next to the 'Show Your Bookmarks'. By clicking on the 'News' Folder I can see and select any of my favorite Web news sites. Very handy. Today, however, when I clicked on the News folder my 73-year-old hand accidentally dragged the News folder on top of the 'Show Your Bookmarks' icon and the News folder disappeared !! I can't figure out where it went !! Help !!

I export all my passwords to usb, went to other computer and ........................... needed a 2e browser (edge) to import them?? How to import passwords from usb-stick to firefox? Is this even possible? i cannot find anything to import them.!

Hi,

I had a format on my computer and then I tried to log into Firefox but forgot my password, so I changed it. Now I cannot recover any of my bookmarks. Is there any way to have them back?

Thank you!

I'm a long time Firefox user and for years I used the Notes section in Mozilla Firefox Bookmarks until it was removed in Rel 6.2. Next I used the ESR path to save all my Notes in Firefox Bookmarks. I used the notes to store the "what was your favorite dog?" security question, and notes on how to find hidden document at that web site.

This forum then suggestion I install an Extension "Bookmark Notes" It took a lot of time to manually copy my answers over to "Bookmark Notes", web site by web site, to all of my PCs.

Now I find that all of my information is missing from this extension and "Bookmark Notes" has gone unsupported since 2021.

• How can I repair "Bookmark Notes" Extension?
• Where are the notes stored for this extension?
• Can I reload all the copied information from a back up of my windows drive?
• Is there a replacement for the "Bookmark Notes" extension?

Version: 78.15.0esr (64-bit)

The bookmark dropdown submenus won't open any more. I can click Bookmarks>next random menu>next menu and it won't show the bookmarks. To be clear, I am going to a folder bookmark and then a sub-folder bookmark which won't show what is inside this sub-folder.

Any idea why this is happening?

TIA

Hi - I followed other threads to try to resolve the problem of not being able to delete old bookmarks.

I used about:support and ran verify integrity to discover places.sqlite was corrupt. So I closed down Firefox and deleted it based on advice. Reran it and it states:

All my bookmarks are gone, but the folders are still there. I tried to use the restore from several dates and it still shows only folders, no bookmarks. I checked my phone - I had made sure to turn off sync for bookmarks, etc, but didn't sign out of sync. Bookmarks were still there. So I turned on sync to try to get them back on my browser. Even though sync had been on, it hadn't synced every bookmark from the browser though. (?!) So it seems very weird that I wouldn't be able to delete some bookmarks that weren't even synced in the first place. So I didn't get back all my bookmarks. I turned off sync on my phone and tried again from the browser, this time signing out completely from sync. It gave me only the folders. I should also mention, I restarted my computer and then Firefox several times during this process. I'm scared to delete any more system files as it seems that it will further remove necessary information. I'm not a coder, but it seems my bookmarks are still there? I tried exporting them and importing in Chrome - only the folders showed up there.

Any ideas? Thanks - your help is appreciated!

I had to remove my side bar to do a print screen. With the latest version of Firefox I can't find how to put the side bar back! Not Happy..... It use to be obvious but now it is too hidden. Who is doing the user testing these days? Please fix the issue.

My laptop was out of action for quite some time with a u/s hard drive and no money to replace until now. I reloaded Waterfox, logged in and synced, however, I seem to have lost all my bookmarks. Can anybody advise me, please, as to if there is a way to recover them? My backups only go back to 20/05/2022.

Regards,

Mark

When I right-click on my bookmarks and select Open in a New Tab, it switches automatically to it. I'd like to know how to disable that and avoid changing to newly opened tab. In my Settings I already have the "when you open a link...switch to it immediately" disabled. Thx
