Started my computer this morning and tried to use Firefox and it froze. So bad that I had to restart my computer. I re-installed Firefox but it deleted my bookmarks. What do I have to do to get them back? Fortunately I did a backup on my computer before re-installing Firefox. Is there some other way to get them back other than to restore the backup? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I just wish I wasn't such a Luddite when it comes to computers.

I have three problems. One is, as my title, I have to do Ctrl D two times to have "Edit Bookmark". The second is, frequently, the link that I open in another tab reaches nothing. Sometimes, reenter it in the tab (and press Enter) works, sometimes not. Sometimes, enter it in another tab works, sometimes not. When it works in another tab, the link appears in the first tab also. The third annoying thing is not necessarily related to you. Sometimes, when I try to open a Youtube link in another tab with the middle mouse button, the tab don't open.

This ridiculous update just deleted everything on my firefox. All my book marks are gone, passwords into sites and accounts etc. EVERYTHING I had is gone. i have tried going into the "profile" folder and it says its blank. I am not an IT guru so I do not know how to follow all these insane instructions to get back what should have never been deleted. i will be deleting firefox and never using it again because some idiot decided to update my system without my approval and then it deleted everything.

How can I copy all of my Bookmarks from a hard drive which crashed, and is no longer bootable? While I can no longer boot from the drive, I can still access all of my files using another computer, and attaching the un-bootable drive with an external docking device. Is there a file where the bookmarks exist on my old drive; that I can copy and paste to the new Firefox I will be loading? If yes; will I have to do this to a new setup on my old computer first, or can I just do this onto the new computer I'm getting ready to purchase? I was running the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 Pro. My old computer was running Windows 7 Pro. The new computer I will soon be purchasing will have an i9 processor, and will be running Windows 11. I am currently using a computer at my local library to send this message. So whatever computer information is automatically furnished to you will not pertain to my computer. PLEASE HELP

I've been through a rough patch with Firefox the past couple of weeks.

Cutting to the chase: I exported all my bookmarks and imported them in a new profile.

But the icons that used to be there aren't.

Not *end of the world*, but just something I noticed.

(I just about shot myself in the foot) Ok, after using one to open a tab and the icon returned. So is that how they get their icons?
