I updated to the latest FF last night and now all the bookmarks on my desktop are called "Firefox". This should not happen, but anyway, what can I do to fix this, please? I have a lot of bookmarks: some in created folders. I can name/rename the folders, but inside, all bookmarks are still called "Firefox"

Any help appreciated. I use the bookmarks a lot.

Is this a problem on your Android home page or is this on a desktop system? If it's a desktop system, what OS are you running?

Does it make any difference if you switch the default browser to a different browser (e.g., Chrome on Android, Internet Explorer on Windows, Safari on Mac, etc.)?

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah sorry, Android Home Screen.

Using Android 4.2.2 on a Samsung Galaxy G2 10.1".

I am not sure how to set the default browser in Android. I have tried the idea of saying Always when asked which browser to use (as for instance when I clicked the loink to get to this reply, but all my bookmarks are still "Firefox"

WOW! Now all of the bookmarks on my Home Screen have disappeared. IU have full mql protection. This ONLY happened after I "updated" FF

Was that after changing your default browser or without making any changes?

I rarely put bookmarks on my phone's home screens because they have so little real estate. If the one or two disappeared after a recent update, I probably didn't notice. I guess we'll see whether other tablet or phone users encounter the same problem you did.

I don't know what that means.

I have no idea when or how it happened, but I did nothing to make it. It was after I had changed the default browser, and I thiink after I had then cleared the setting in the Application Manager.
