Search Bookmarks in Bookmarks no longer works

more options

Hello. Today I updated Firefox to Version 138.0.3 64 bit and I have found that the Search Bookmarks in Bookmarks no longer works where as in Version 138.0.1 it did. I have done a Refresh and it still does not work. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Is this a bug or something new with the current update. Could someone tell me how to solve this a using the Search Bookmarks function was a big help. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don

Hi Don, is this problem in the Sidebar (Ctrl+B) or in the Library (Ctrl+Shift+O or Manage Bookmarks) or in the address bar (using * at the beginning of the line) or some combination of these? (Note: I haven't been notified about the update yet, so I'll probably be testing tomorrow.)

Hello and thank you for your reply. What I did was go into about:profile and selected a profile I used before the one I used for the update and that fixed it. I reinstalled the update and I did not see the problem again so It looks like I am fine now. I forgot to include in my post above that all my bookmarks went missing as well but now I have everything back. I have no idea what happened but glad it is back to normal.
