I'm in a messy situation right now

1. I have two Windows installs with two separate installations of Firefox
2. They are both different versions, one is the latest version and one is an extended support release: "115.23.1esr". I don't think that would really matter, just in case

Let's start. At the time, both installs with my bookmarks were the exact same

On one of my installs of Windows, I organized my bookmarks. I also put existing folders in new folders

And I thought that Firefox would synchronize my bookmarks with my other install. But it didn't happen.... at all! My bookmarks were the exact same as before... and still are!

1. One install is organized but not completely up to date
2. The other isn't organized and I've added a couple new bookmarks to it over time because of this stupid situation

What can I do here? And can I prevent this from happening in the future?

I can't depend on my bookmarks if it's not going to sync at all. It could be a malfunction on my end but I don't know at this point

'Wrote this question from my second install with the 115.23.1esr version'

Hello!

The bookmarks column tree, to the left, has disappeared when I start Firefox. I must press ctrl+B to get it back and do so every time I restarted Windows.

This problem occurred recently. Previously it was visible every time I started Firefox.

Do you know how I can fix it or is it a small bug…

I am using the version 115.20.0esr (64-bit) and have noticed I have links in my bookmarks, that are either from other bookmark folders but I never copied them over, or I have new links that I never clicked to be saved? I have deleted those I found but some more keep popping up?

My bookmarks previously would be displayed on the left of the screen when I start Firefox. For some reason someone thought it would be an improvement to force me to use another click to show my bookmarks. Forcing the user to make more clicks is NEVER a good design choice. There seems to be no setting for getting my bookmarks displayed by default. Now there is just a setting whether or not to show a "sidebar" with a button I must click to show the bookmarks. Bring back my bookmarks please, or add a setting to allow me to get them back.

Thanks.

So I'm new to Firefox, and I added some shortcuts to the main tab, using the "+" button. But then after a few minutes it disappeared, when I wanted to add more. I set 4 rows of shortcuts and I have a lot of space left for them. What do I do to bring this button back? I tried deleting a shortcut but it didn't appear.

I just updated my Firefox app and it rearranged all my bookmarks. I would love to go in and resort them back to how they were before, but the only options I have on mobile are automatic sorting of alphabetical or chronological. I don't know if the manual sorting option was removed, but if it hasn't I'd like to know how to acess it. Thank you!

'Show all bookmarks' is missing and I have tried the Ctrl+Alt+B option without success. I've already looked extensively on Firefox help with no success. What can I do to copy all of the bookmarks to a new computer? Thank you.

Multiple problems 1) bookmarks disappearing

  About 8 to 10 months ago a group of bookmarks disappeared from a bookmark file. I reloaded an exported HTML and no problems. 
 About a month ago Several groups of bookmarks disappeared over several days. A folder with say 20 bookmarks in would now have only 5. then none a day or two later. this happened across ALL but one of the default bookmark files and ones I created. I also noticed Firefox was not creating backup bookmark files so I removed Firefox, reloaded Firefox so everything was up to date and in the new I reloaded the older bookmarks HTML in the new installation.  
 Now it is happening again as of the 16th of May 2024 only this time Again no backup bookmark file are being created and Firefox is not creating manual backup file or HTLM Exports.
2)  I have gone though the Troubleshooting instructions and I am at a loss on what the issue is. I have used Firefox since the early 2000s and have never had this issue before but in the past year it has happen 3 times. 3) UNRELATED ISSUE - MAYBE- I found on the setting page at the top IS THIS NOTE -- Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.-- This is a personal computer. There is not an Organization. How do a get rid of this and does this mean someone else has access to my computer.

Hello. I have used Firefox for a while, and i recently made a mistake and added a whole load of bookmarks. I have removed these bookmarks, and while on the page I'm able to re-bookmark it, and remove it once more. However, they still show up as "suggestions" in the url-bar while typing something close to the websites name. I've cleared my whole search history as well. These do not show up while logged out of my firefox account. They also show up on several different(logged in) devices. What can i do?
