When I search for something, the location bar no longer shows the address and the star to add bookmarks unless I click on a little globe. I installed a Firefox update not long ago but this has only just happened. I'd like to be able to just bookmark searches like I used to.

I have a lot of bookmarks and lot means A LOT OF. When I add any bookmark to a specific folder, then the list becomes a mess. I can't find any folder easily where I want to add new bookmark. It's so inconvenient and time-consuming. So, I request you to please address this issue and improve the bookmark section. I'll be very thankful to you.

Thank you, Naveen.

Recently switched from Chrome and in Chrome I would open my "Other Bookmarks" folder and middle click a bunch of bookmarks which would open them up in a new tab without switching to that tab or closing the "Other bookmarks" folder.

Is there a way I can replicate this on Firefox? Because at the moment, middle clicking the bookmarks does nothing. This is not about the bookmarks bar at the top.

I used to use Firefox as my standard browser until this issue occurred some years ago. I can no longer add, edit, or see any bookmarks I previously had. When I start the browser, I'm met with an error message (see below), which then sends me to the site in the image below. The title roughly translates to: "The System for Bookmarks and Browser History is Non-Functional". I've tried following these steps in the past with no change regarding this issue, and I've had to switch back to Chrome. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but the issue persists.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Moving a bookmark on Firefox on mobile device when opening the bookmark edit if you want to move a bookmark for example for Mobile bookmarks to Desktop bookmarks:

In my case I first click edit, click on the location and edit > Folder and I am showed unlike when I browse my bookmarks where folders are closed, all folders in hierarchy are opened which make for an endless scrolling for minutes trying to find the folder I want to move my bookmark to, as a poweruser who has thousands of folders and bookmarks.


There are ofher browsers where this is reversed and easier to move a bookmark because all folders are closed. Is this a feature that can be added to Firefox?

Also the setting saying you can display bookmarks on home screen, actually its a scrolling banner with most recently saved bookmarks. I miss the old classic Firefox where you could set your new tab and home page as your bookmarks list making it super easy and quick to get everything you need right in front of you without needing extra steps to enter your bookmark lists.


If this is not the right forum please direct me where I can forward this feature request

In latest version of firefox for android, 138.0.4 (Build #2016091471), when i touch the bookmarks menu an image flashes up too fast to see. I videoed the screen,slowed down replay and found the image is of a folder with a fox inside and the words "no bookmarks yet" which makes no sense as i have hundreds of bookmarks. Its irritating, how do i stop it?

Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

I use Firefox Sync to see my desktop bookmarks on mobile (android) - the latest android update force-sorts all bookmarks alphabetically or time-wise, with no option to leave them in desktop order.

It is now very hard to find what I want in my painstakingly arranged bazillion bookmarks and folders and subfolders and so on...

Please restore the ability on mobile to leave the sort as it is on desktop. At least for the "desktop bookmarks" folder.

Thanks!
