Hello, First my Q, then a comment. My bookmarks all show the same date. I can't find what I was going to use for work today because I can't find it in the bookmarks. This has happened frequently, more than not. Please help. On another note, I had said the YouTube commercial blocking wasn't working, but it is now on my Mac OS after changing some settings. Now I'd like to do that on my iphone 11 if possible. I can't seem to open settings the same way. Thank you.

I run the current version of Firefox on a Dell Inspiron laptop under Windows 11 Pro. I have around 8,000 bookmarks, and I try to keep them current. Every so often, quite a few (about half) of my tags disappear, and I have to spend two or three days restoring them. Why do the tags disappear, and how can I prevent their loss?

After the latest software upgrade my bookmarks stopped working when clicked upon. All of them now have something similar to a globe on the left of each bookmark. last night I re-loaded some of my bookmarks and the worked as long as I remained on Firefox. Returning this morning, they all have these globes on the left, and no longer work when clicked upon.

Hello, I'm using Firefox on android, version 149.0.2 as of now. Since said update, I've been having issues saving bookmarks.

I'm used to it attempting to save to the last folder I selected. Currently, it's only saving to one specific folder instead of the last selected.

If it's an expected behavior for it to only save to one, is there a way to change the default folder? This one was selected when the update took place.

Fx 148.0 Galaxy A14 5G

Unable to view the subfolders in the bookmarks folder when I add or edit bookmarks:

three vertical dot icon > bookmark page > edit > bookmarks > tap on ">" next to "bookmarks" to view the subfolders

This problem started happening after the latest update.

I set the bookmarks toolbar to show in new tabs only. If I then press Ctrl-Shift-B in any tab I lose the functionality of having the toolbar show exclusively in new tabs. It either shows in all tabs or in none, depending on the number of times I press Ctrl-Shift-B.

Whenever you used to make a new folder and bookmark a page it used to always direct bookmarks to the newly created folder or to a folder you have selected.

Now it always defaults to only one folder no matter if you just created a new one or select a previously created one.

Hi there,

Whenever I bookmark a page on the android app these days, it always saves it to a specific folder. It used to save it to whichever folder I last bookmarked a page to, but it doesn't do that anymore; it's like it's got stuck and by default now, only saves to a folder that I rarely want to save to. That means that every time I bookmark a page, I have to edit the bookmark and save it to the folder I actually want to save it to.

As a result of this, I now have to edit at least 90% of my bookmarked pages so that they end up in my preferred folder.

Is there a fix please? Many thanks.

When you go to bookmark something, it usually automatically saves to the last bookmark folder you saved something to, but withing the last couple of weeks, everything keeps defaulting to the same folder. Now if I have multiple tabs I want to save to the same folder, I have to keep searching for that particular folder multiple times in a row rather than Firefox keeping that as the current default. I haven't changed any settings lately, and I can't find any way to fix this

Showing all bookmarks and folders all at once when saving a bookmark is beyond frustrating to use every time and it’s unnecessary. Please make folders selectable individually like they are on most other browsers with bookmarks rather than having to have all the bookmarks out at once. Maybe make it so pressing it opens and closes the folder, and holding it will put a bookmark in that folder. Or just have it so in bookmark saving mode, tapping/pressing the folder opens the folder, there’s a back arrow to get out of the folder, and a “save here” button or something on the other side of the back button to save the selected bookmark to whatever folder you are in. It’s not like that interferes with moving folders and bookmarks since you have to press the edit button before you can move those first anyway.

I'm getting the following error message:

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I don't know what prompted this concern on my Windows 11-based laptop, but I only noticed this last night doing some research for another issue. I don't have any of my bookmarks showing up in the bookmarks section, nor will it allow me to click the star on any tab to bookmark the page. I have restarted and shut down my laptop several times and this is not solving the concern. Let me know if you need more information or if I need to start this inquiry again elsewhere, but again it sounds like the same concern.

I have included a screenshot of the exact error for accuracy's sake. Like everyone else here, I'm trying to get my bookmark and history access back up and running but not sure how to go about it.

I couldn't get past the first fix suggestion because I am not sure how to restart Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?as=u&utm_source=inproduct&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&redirectlocale=en-US). I have restarted my laptop several times but the issue still persists.

Please advise.

Ironically, I am not having this issue on my older PC that is still operating on Windows 10. I can view history and access or add bookmarks with no concern to my knowledge.

What happens here is my bookmarks still show on the bar, but they show as grey with no color and the URL is blank. I can restore them using Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore, but this is happening at least once a week on both my and my wifes HP Desktops. I am wondering if it may be related to Iolo System Mechanic, which we both use to keep our computers "clean"?
