Hello,

Me and my partner both use Firefox, big fans but the recent update to Android has messed up our book marks.

I use a Samsung Galaxy S22 on Android 14 and my partner is using a Samsung Galaxy S23 on Android 14.

Since updating to Firefox 133.0.3 build #2016060959 when we go into our bookmarks folders are now muddled up with pages and are not alphabetical. Nothing is in order anymore. It used to be structured folders first then pages, similar structure to my desktop bookmarks.

I did a search to see if there was a way to organize them, I've tried a few suggestions but they didn't work, it appears the Android version has some limitations.

Is there a way to reorganize the bookmarks back to how they were? This is only affecting the Android versions.

I'm not sure if I'm in the right area. I can't add a new bookmark to a folder. It just started. I do have trembling hands so it it possible that I may changed a setting accidentally. No matter how many times I've tried to bookmark a tab, I can't add it to a folder. This has really gotten me frustrated.

The question has to do with not being able to create Lists or Collections on my iPhone. I am able to create these on my Mac, but not on my iPhone. I thought maybe if I create a list on the desktop version, I'll at least be able to view it on my phone, but alas, no such luck! I am using the Pocket app on my phone. It would really help to be able to organize things I find on the internet into Lists or Collections on my phone. If someone could please tell me what I need to do to be able to create lists or collections on my iPhone, I would greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!

I have several HP dc7900 desktops all running Firefox ESR 64 Bit. I am trying to take my windows "FAVORITES" list and add it to FireFox "BOOKMARKS" list. I've tried everything but can't seem to get there. I remember several years ago dealing with this issue on one of my other computers however, after a brain aneurysm and 2 major heart attacks, being 70 years old, my memory just doesn't exist anymore. If anyone knows the secrets to this task, you'll be my best friend forever! Thank you so much for your help. Please be detailed and list the steps 1......2......3.....4.......etc. I'm not that computer knowledgeable so the easier the better.

When I'm saving a bookmark, I have a choice with one click between the last seven folders that were used to save bookmarks previously. Where can I increase that number to however many fit my screen (i.e. define another number by myself?)

I would also be happy to remove the "Bookmarks toolbar," "Bookmarks menu" and "Other bookmarks" shortcuts that stick at the top of that same menu, as I never use them and they only take space. Only "Other bookmarks" might come into use very rarely, if I have no idea how to classify a certain bookmark and I decide to temporarily put it there.

I'm on OpenSuse Leap 15.6 with KDE Plasma 5.27.11, Mozilla Firefox 128.5.1esr

In the last approx 3-4 weeks, Firefox bookmarks on Android and PC have *not* remembered alphabetical sort choices on PC. I cannot sort (and remember) bookmark toolbar alphabetical sort order on PC and I cannot sort and remember bookmark alphabetical sort on Android, synced with the PC. My bookmarks on both PC and Android are arranged in some haphazard way that "sorting by name" under Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks / Bookmarks Toolbar / Views / Sort / Sort by Name momentarily changes but does not persist to the next time I view. The next time I view the sort of the bookmarks toolbar, it is always "unsorted". Again this has only been an issue in the past 3-4 weeks.

i had a snuffleupigus mess with my hard drive during an upgrade, and had to install a new drive. i still can access my original drive, just not boot from it. this means with my new install i cannot open firefox to back up my old book marks but can find the book mark file. how can i restore these bookmarks using the actual file? no it's not an html file as far as i can tell. i wound up upgrading from win 10 to win 11 so the versions are slightly different

Have been using Firefox 133.03 on Mint 22 Cinnamon for a couple of weeks now, but I have a number of randomly missing favicons in my bookmark toolbar. I have extensively googled the issue and tried pretty much all the remedies I could find: just click on the place holder icon to refresh, delete the bookmark and place it again, use the Checkmark extension, check the integrity of the favicon DB, delete the favicon and places.sqlite files, clear the cache. Doing these things repeatedly and repeatedly restarting Firefox, I could claw back a number of my icons, but now things have stalled and there a quite a few holdouts that refuse to update. I'm also using Firefox on Windows without these issues. Would appreciate some hints as to how to further troubleshoot this.

I would bookmark a page by clicking on the star and ensuring it turns blue. There's a pop-up that i will check to confirm the bookmark's location. But when I click on the bookmark file with the correct labeled location, the bookmarked page doesn't appear. However, it will appear if I manually drag the bookmarked page and put it under the labeled location file. Either way, when I click on the 3 stacked bars> bookmarks >search bookmarks > type in the website name, the page will appear with a blue star. Instead of relying on manually bookmarking pages, how can i ensure the bookmarked page appears in the correct location when I simply tap the star icon?

In the first image, you can see I bookmarked a reddit page under "MCAT Stuff". In the second image, you can see the page is still bookmarked, but under the "MCAT Stuff" bookmark, the page doesn't appear.
