With the new updates beginning Monday, i lost my bookmarks, the ability to restore the, the ability to get them through sync and the ability to even create one.
In the profiles, I created a new profile based on my current profile and launched it in a new window. All the bookmarks are there and work. I make it the default profile and restart. The browser comes up as before with no bookmarks, cannot restore, cannot add them, etc.. I go to profiles, yes, it is using the alternate. I set the original back to default and restart. Same thing no bookmarks, the alternate if started in a new browser does have the bookmarks... see the circle of despair I am in.
I tried this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recover-user-data-missing-after-firefox-update#firefox:win7:fx71 It did not work (see above). Also, I am getting this error banner on my screen after every restart:

Hi, i am a Firefox lover. I have been using Firefox for about 3 years. But have one things that i really hate in Firefox, that is bookmark bar in Firefox not disappear automatic when you are not in Newtab. My screen is quiet small (13 inch) so it's quiet anoy when the bookmark bar take a small space of the interface. I just wonder that why Firefox don't make it like Chrome?
I tried a way, which is using custom userChrome.css but it's animation is not smooth.
I really love Firefox and i hope that you will make it become more convenient for users.
Thank you.

I created a bookmark to the guardian front page and added a page shortcut from my launcher. When I tap on it, the site opens in a different Firefox, with no address bar, menus or auto rotation. Using the app switcher I can see that browser as a different app from the regular browser and switch back and forth. If I open the info tab, both browsers are Firefox. If it's related to custom tabs, I have those switched off already. I absolutely don't care for this crippled Firefox and would like to disable it completely. Suggestions? Thanks

A technician moved data from my dead computer to my new one (both Windows 10), My Firefox Bookmarks are in a folder called "Favorites" on the desktop. I tried to copy this into Firefox Bookmarks, but it doesn't open up into subfolders, etc., like it was in the old computer & in the desktop "Favorites" folder. There is also an "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop & it contains a list of "bookmarks***.jsonlz4" backups, but they are all at least a year old. Obviously, I am computer illiterate & completely lost.
Can't add bookmarks to bookmark toolbar

I have uninstalled FF ver. 62 - it was working, but I can't deal with Quantum's memory use. Tried installing ver. 35, 46, and 49 64-bit (uninstalled each one before installing the next), but none will allow me to add a bookmark to the toolbar. When I try to drag a site to the bookmark toolbar, a tiny triangle appears at the left edge of the toolbar and nothing happens. Also, when I choose "add bookmark" from the menu bar it displays the add bookmark dialog, I click Done but the bookmark doesn't show up under bookmarks, and the "Recently Bookmarked" item is grayed out.
I want an option to adjust the length of bookmarks in the toolbar to fit more in.

I decided to make Firefox my default browser, but contrary to I.E., I am unable to find an option to reduce the size or choose "just icons" for the webpages in the Bookmarks toolbar. For Instance, In I.E., NCAA websites can be just E NCAA, as oppossed to E NCAA College Footbal. Or Selco vs Selco Community Cr... If I.E. was able to provide an option to choose the length of websites in the toolbar, I would like to have that option with Firefox.

I am running Firefox 70.0.1 (64 bit) on Win10. I assume most of my problem started after being updated to this Firefox version.
I have hundreds, if not thousands of bookmarks and have been running Firefox since its inception. I constantly import my bookmarks when I go from one machine to a new one over the years.
Because of the volume of bookmarks I have, I keep my most regularly used bookmarks at the top so when this happened, I noticed immediately since I could not find my most active ones.
I went to Firefox "Show all bookmarks" and did a restore from a few days prior and it seemed to be OK.
I shut down last night and when I restarted this morning. They were again shuffled, seemingly somewhat randomly.
Some time ago I noticed that my very long list had duplicated itself as if taking the whole list and appending it to the bottom of the list in the same order but since everything was there and in order I figured I would fix that some time in the future and never got around to it. Now I'm noticing that my bookmark folders have duplicated lists of their folders and sub-folders duplicated within the folder.
Is there a limit that I reached which is causing corruption and duplication or is it something else.
I am very hesitant to take some steps for fear of losing the whole bookmarks database but I have to do something.
Any safe ideas? Anyone having any similar issues?

For some reason the little star icon at the far right of the URL address/search bar that indicates if the site is in your bookmarks is not showing up. Is there a way to get it back other then doing a refresh or reinstalling Firefox? I do see the star when I right click on the window to bring up the context-menu.

I have a large amount of bookmarks that I keep in Firefox, and they are divided into folders, so that I know where they are, and what they are for.... Unfortunately, some of those folders are now empty, with no bookmarks in them anymore, and I cannot figure why this has happened. I have certain folders that have several internal folders in them, and they were all full of bookmarks that I needed, but now almost 3/4 of those folders are empty. Has Firefox randomly deleting bookmarks now for some idiotic reason, and if so, how do I get them all back where they belong?? I swear, I am 2 steps away from giving up on Firefox completely now, because very time I blink, something else is not working right, and now I am not even allowed to keep bookmarks. What group of monkeys has taken over the Firefox browser project, and why can't they keep what used to be one of the best browsers out, working correctly?? Can Mozilla PLEASE get their browser back up to snuff, and stop making it fall apart?? I don't want to switch to chrome, or any other browser, but Mozilla's incompetence with Firefox, is going to end up forcing me to!!

There are many sites I visit regularly and would like a 2 line bookmark toolbar, (entirely separate from regular bookmarks that are stored in a different area and in their own folders). The bookmark toolbar is very convenient, but would be far better if it could be increased to 2 or even 3 rows, to avoid the hassle of clicking through folders to find my most commonly visited sites. Using Firefox 70.0.1 on Windows 7 desktop computer, 64 bit. Thanks to anyone who can solve this!
Latest couple of versions of 69 & 70, I can not organize or delete bookmarks. Something has changed just recently. I have tried all of the suggestions.
drag & drop is broke, can't delete bookmarks, currently @ 70.0.1 64 bit W7 pro
