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?

Deleting bookmarks folder does not actually delete bookmarks

I have split my default Firefox into two separate profiles, one for me, one for my partner. In the default profile, we spent lots of time organizing the bookmarks into two folders, one for each of us. Then I made two copies of the profile folder, named them, and created new profiles by editing the profiles.ini file. This worked fine. We now have a working profile each, and the original default profile as a backup. So each of us opens our new Firefox profile and wants to delete the bookmarks that are not ours. We delete the folder. But all the bookmarks are still there. What has gone wrong here? Surely we don't have to delete them one at a time?

I have only used Firefox on my mobile and only for Internet searches (my fingers are too big for the small screen!). I have a new 10" tablet but can't see how to display the bookmarks toolbar. Can it be done in the app? (I can find my synced bookmarks in the dropdown)

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.

My bookmarks and folders with bookmarks have started to disappear. I think it started when I added my cellphone to sync. I have over 3000 bookmarks, so it will take me many hours to try to recover these from an older backup, because I can't do a direct restore, because I've added more bookmarks since I discovered they started to disappear for me . And I have all my bookmarks lying in the "Bookmark menu" Why is this happening?
I've tried to solve it by importing the older backup which is an html file, but it settles as its own "bookmark menu", and using "cut and paste" all these bookmarks take too long, and Firefox's built-in editor for bookmarks is a joke. Have also looked through a lot of different tips here to find a solution, but find nothing that helps. Is there any "Bookmark manager" program that can be used?

A "bookmark's location" ought to show its location on my browser, rather than the PAGE'S ONLINE ADDRESS. If someone has a webpage bookmarked, then why would he/she need its URL? But that person might be going howdy-rowdy trying to find a bookmark in his/her own browser's folders (don't ask me how I know).

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!!

Add a column to the bookmark library that indicates the folder where the bookmark is located. For example, in the screen shot (bookmark1), for the last bookmark, have a column that will show the location (NOT URL) of which folder(s) that bookmark is in. Based on the second screenshot (bookmark2), the folder is 'Home\Time Wasters\'. 'Home\Time Wasters\' would be in the 'Bookmark Folder' column, that would need to be added. See bookmark3.

This has been an issue for quite sometime, could actually be a year or two possibly longer.
The favicons also work fine on my iPhone ios 13.
Is there any way to get just icons displayed in the bookmarks bar until I hover over it, just like in IE11? (Without deleting text in properties.)

I understand that deleting the text for a bookmark will remove the text from the bookmarks bar and display icons only. However, I like to add extra text to remind me of passwords, etc., for sites, so I don't want to delete this. In IE11, there is the option to only have the text appear when hovering over the icon. Is there any way to do this in Firefox? If not, it would be a worthwhile add-on.

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!

I want to bookmark 10 selected history pages. I selected them, and right-click gives me the context menu as shown on the attached screen shot. But selecting "Bookmark Pages" does not work. Only individual pages selected this way will bookmark. And the option there "Open all in tabs" works fine, and I can then bookmark the 10 open tabs. But that wastes my time and bandwidth, and supposing I want to bookmark hundreds of history pages? Opening them all in tabs would break the machine.
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.
