I opened firefox, it was an upgrade to version 33.1 and all the bookmarks and saved passwords have gone. Now if I restart it is going to upgrade to version 33.1.1. This is the first upgrade in a few years that has lost the bookmarks and saved passwords. Windows 8.1.

I dont understand why this browser still doesnt have an option to just be able to move bookmarks up or down in the list, its such a simple function that most other browsers can do, surely it make a lot of people happy if they did include it as well.

Come on Mozilla, why lack behind with such basic functions that most people would find really useful.

I understand theres a way to do it via sync but come on, surely i shouldn't have to resort to all that messing around when in most other browers i can just move a bookmark up or down with my finger instantly?

I have a few spare minutes and I'm writing a book. I was to self-publish it or e-publish it or I don't know. I search for websites dealing with publishing books and place them in a bookmark folder named publishing. Several days later I want to recall those sites I found to see which ones interest me. I do not know any of the url's, I only know I placed them in a folder called publishing. I have hundreds of bookmark folders and thousands of urls. I want to search for and find the folder publisher so I can look at the websites. Your instructions about the upper search windows bring up history of places (many) I've visited. Your bookmark tools: you can get a history, you can view recently bookmarked, used tags, show unsorted (in no particular order), You canorganize, crete new bookmarks and NEW folders, etc. and all kinds of other organizational stuff. You can view in columns by keyword... and a well hidden window pops up called search BOOKMARKS...not FOLDERS. I typed in publish and all I got back were urls with the name publish in their title. And finally you can sort - again bookmarks, not folders. I don't think I even found a place where you can alphabetize folders which would be some kind of start...going down the list to the "P's" until I found publish. And finally, but equally not helpful you can import and backup. NOWHERE can you search for a folder that I could easily find. I have been a programmer since the mid 70's and a web designer too - if I can't find it I need to hang up my keypad because I've lost it. (Is that a better description than "something is wrong, firefox is broken"? But by the way, thank you for having the professional courage and courtesy to at least make this kind of dialogue available - you are one of the few and that is why I like your company and your browser..now if you could just fix this little problem for me (as well as finally get a substitute for that lousy Adobe Flash...do I hear HTML5?) I'd be a very happy camper and do unsolicited ads for you to all my goofy friends. Thank you if you made it this far - you're a brave soul.

Why can't I see all of my recently bookmarked links, or be able to put them away somewhere of my choosing when I bookmark them. What good is the recently bookmarked folder if you can only see 10 of them?

Tried Backup function twice. Still can't open any folders (in Bookmarks Sidebar or Library). Help!

Had to go back another week in Restore files but, it worked.

'show all history' goes to the Library page. In the past if I clicked on a URL it opened in a new tab ,it no longer does this and I have to copy the URL ,open a new tab and paste it in the address bar. Have I got a setting wrong somewhere or is this no longer available?

Hello. I found some of my bookmarks in Appdata/Roaming/Mozilla/Profile/5ccmq06e.default/bookmarkbackups etc just like firefox help tells me. But some of the bookmarks that I can access when I use firefox browser are not contained in "bookmarkbackups". Thus obviously begs the question(s) 1) where else are my bookmarks for firefox stored, & 2), if this is the only place they are stored, then why are some of my saved bookmarks visable/accessable when using the firefox browser not included in this bookmarkbackups folder? Thank you.

I have a bookmark folder within a folder which I believe belongs also in another folder. I want to duplicate it, but I dislike the idea of having to manually post the same bookmark in the now seperated twin folders twice from the moment I split them. Is there any way to sync the two folders so that a bookmark that is posted either one or the other is automatically duplicated in to the other folder that folder is synced with?

In the prior version, there was an add-on that allowed the bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar to be visible only as an icon, say the Google "G" for example. When you moused over the icon the full title was revealed. This allowed more bookmarks on the toolbar and gave users one click navigation ability, making Firefox very convenient. Quantum has the icon plus the title, and the add-on is of course, incompatible. Please tell me how to customize the buttons. Thank you.

My bookmarks toolbar used to show up under address bar before this new update. Now it doesn't even though it shows up checked when I go to customize and choose toolbars at bottom of screen. How do I get it back?

I updated Firefox on my laptop. Then it suggested I refresh. After I did, my bookmarks disappeared. I've been trying to get them back & the restore file was empty. I uninstalled & reinstalled. After I signed back in it removed all the bookmarks from my phone. I am freaking out!

In updating from FF55 to 57, I've seemed to have lost my ReadItLater bookmarks. Pocket asks for a login, which I've never had since ReadItLater stored everything offline, altough I've got a username and password saved in my password manager for "chrome://readitlater" and in my Appdata/Roaming profile I've got a readItLater.sqlite, which I assume is my two-thousand-some bookmarks, but I see no way in which I can import this to the new Pocket system, nor do I see a way to migrate.

Send help, I'm lost and afraid.

Mozilla claims that it is open. But if i try to sync my bookmarks, it is as closed as Google. It would be a chance to get Users back that left Firefox because of problems with version 57, if sync would provide an App for Chrome and IE so that i could use another browser if i had problems with Firefox. At the current, i have to change to Chrome completely when i have Sites that do not work with Firefox 57 any more. And there are many sites that do not work or are very slow with Firefox 57.

So my Question is: Will Firefox be open?
