I am trying to search for a specific bookmark, but am not allowed to because the Firefox browser always crashes, whenever I attempt to search in the Bookmark Manager for it.... I am unfortunately losing my enthusiasm for Firefox as a browser, as they seem to keep getting more and more unreliable. It has been my browser of choice for several years, but with each new version, it gets less and less trustworthy, and I am confused by this. What, now I cannot even search for a bookmark, without it crashing to desktop??

My Bookmark list disappears regularly and I have to seek ways ro re-install in the left hand margin. Also finding various web sites (Banks etc) no longer work well with Firefox. So with much regret it is goodbye Firefox as soon as I can reocnfigure

I have windows 8.1 and just downloaded firefox update. Msg said was last update and to download a file for extended coverage until Sept 2024. Did that and now all my previous settings and ALL BOOKMARKS gone !!! How do I get them back? I know there is json file but how do I access and utilize to get bookmarks back? Thanks.

i install new windows and after installing when i log in to my account on firefox it dint backup my bookmarks and everything . i have so much important bookmark was saved and for over 6+ months effort . can anyone tell me how i can recover it or how can i contact firefox chat agent

I am using Firefox Desktop with windows10. I had a problem with windows and the fix deleted everything except my data files. I have reinstalled Firefox. However, the reinstall has none of my bookmarks. Is there a way to recover the Bookmarks from my previous version ? They took years to develop. Any help will be appreciated.

Firefox (10.0002 64-bit) is bookmarking every single page I visit, making the bookmarking function useless to me. I just noticed this problem recently. Someone posted a similar question in 2016:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1077320

He seemed to think the problem was related to an app -- but someone else posted to that question and they did not have any new apps. Nor do I. I haven't knowingly installed any apps to Firefox in the last year.

Can someone please tell me how to stop the bookmarking function from booking pages automatically without my input?

Thanks.

I reset the laptop and lost the bookmarks. It originally reset to Edge but I downloaded Firefox. I have gone to the square of horizontal lines, clicked on Bookmarks, Manage Bookmarks, Import and Backup, Restore. The only date that shows is today's date. What else can I try?

Using Firefox on desktop, Windows 11. I am a long term Firefox fan/user.

My problem is I cannot find anywhere an easy method to add a shortcut on my Home Screen (which has now been a FF feature for some considerable time).

I am sure there was something available to do this in a prior version some time back. If I search the internet, I only come across articles describing how to do it on Firefox Android.

I know I can manually edit a box on the Home Screen to create what I need.

Sometimes new web sites that I visit appear in the boxes and I can then pin them in place - but the behavior around this is very erratic and unreliable - seems like random chance for an icon to appear on the home screen for a newly visited site. If this was more consistent, I could work with that.

BUT - where is the **intuitive** option??!!

I should be able to right-click on a tab and select "Add to Home Screen".

As simple as that.

Or drag and drop a link, or tab to the home screen - but this just opens the link. I have tried everything obvious that I can think of.

Anyone?

Many thanks :)

I have tried to install fire fox over 5 times, it will not fully import bookmark html file. Can I copy and paste the file to the fire fox folder? The Microsoft edge browser took the bookmark file with no problems, I want to go back to fire fox. I am running a new windows 11 pro intel based i9 system.

I have tried all of the suggestions and cannot find any backup files other then current dates. Now I am without my bookmarks clear back to 5/7/2022???? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KEEP HITTING ALTERNATIVELY :"dismiss" and "delete from history" but some i have to do it 40 0r 50 times before it stops popping back up

There was an update download recently. Did something change that prevents me from seeing this website: https://vk.com/video/@miselet It takes forever to load and blinks on and off the whole time. When it finally loads, I click on a day's videos and all it does is give me an error message. I had no problem with that site in May when I watched the daily videos from the May sumo tournament.
