Could you add more sorting options to the bookmarks toolbar.

My preference of listening to music on youtube has been to add the songs as bookmarks and using the bookmarks toolbar.

For long i have been irritated i could not inverse the order of them, so when i tried to tweak with it for a bit i clicked the sort by name and quickly learned there is no other controls than that. This might be kinda niche but still applys to many types of usage and i feel is pretty basic. I would like the possibility of making the the bookmark toolbar to sort invertedly from date added. I strongly think this already should be a thing and was quite shocked to learn it was so archaic.

With respect, a dedicated firefox user desperate for salvation.

Another Windows update, another instance of Firefox bookmarks being inaccessible :-( "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." Now what? What are we supposed to do? Is Firefox doing anything about this problem, since it's become a regular occurrence? Help, please!

Using Firefox ESR 115.30 in Windows 7 Ultimate, I routinely open multiple tabs, then, at the end of the day or session I'll bookmark them all into a new folder and close them all.

Later, I might return to that folder and choose to open say, 5 of the group. Is there a way to select all 5 (without opening any) and once I've finished selecting them, have all 5 open at once? Rather than just one at a time? So far it seems that I have to open them one by one.

All these years, when I bookmark a page, that bookmark used to, then, be at the bottom of bookmarks. I assume that means the bookmarks were sorted by the date they were bookmarked. Lately, that is completely gone. When I bookmark a page, who knows WHERE it sits in that long bookmark list?!? It's THERE if I search on it but it used to be so handy... it was right there at the bottom of the bookmark 'manage' page!! Am I missing a date tag or something??? SO annoying. Thanks.

A while back I deleted some bookmarks on my mobile phone which is the only device currently connected to my account. But I recently tried to bookmark several pages and it says I already have the pages bookmarked but it isn't in any of my mobile app bookmark pages and if I try to edit the supposed bookmark I just get a blank screen. I can bookmark other pages fine, it's just these specific phantom bookmarks don't work. I've deleted browsing data in the app, I've cleared the app cache in my phones settings, I have the latest update for the mobile app. But nothing has worked

Is this a known issue and if so how do I fix it?

We have a need to change the name on some bookmarks that we push out via GPO but despite updating the ADMX it is not working. Does this only work for Firefox for Enterprise or does the normal Firefox abide by these settings?

If I try to add a bookmark to a folder, none of the folders I have created are listed. I am given the option to create a new folder to add it to; that works, but the new folder has exactly one bookmark in it and there does not seem to be a way to add any more.

my windows 10 PC was saving my bookmarks perfectly and storing in bookmarks after pressing the "save" star (star turns black) until dec 4 but its no longer putting them in the bookmarks menu anymore even though star turned black? then also after numerous attempts to no avail a "edit" pop up came up and after pressing that it did not even come up with the drop down "save" option just a big nothing. My email is: [edited email from community support forum]. Can you help with this. (P.S. The article "Cant add change or save bookmarks" did not help either.) TIA.

iOS Firefox needs to maintain bookmarks hierarchy state (i.e. keep bookmark folders collapsed or revealed based upon users’ preference) when organizing bookmarks. Like many other Firefox users, I have a lot of organized bookmarks. And, when iOS Firefox opens my complete bookmark hierarchy, it’s a pain in the butt to locate folders in which I want a new bookmark to be placed. If iOS Firefox could maintain my bookmark hierarchy state (like Firefox desktop), I could organize bookmarks so much more easily & efficiently. Incidentally, I submitted this idea several years ago and never received any feedback or action.

I use Firefox on 3 devices, a Win10 64bit laptop, a Google Pixel5 and a Samsung TabA. I have a lot of bookmarks and a lot of folders, and I have 2 problems: Most of the folders are missing on the Android devices, and it seems that many if not all of the associated bookmarks are there but not in any folder. I clicked on one the bookmarks and it showed as being in the proper folder.

The other problem is that if I bookmark a page in one of the Android devices it is automatically placed in the last folder used and there's no way to place it in any other folder or create a new top level folder. I think I've had these problems for five or six months.

I've tried multiple resyncs on all the devices, and also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox on the Pixel, with no luck. I'm using the latest versions of Firefox.

Any help would be much appreciated.
