I have downloaded an older version of Firefox browser. I thought I was able to keep my current Firefox browser and still download the older version.

Now all my folders and bookmarks are gone because my newer browser version was overwritten by the older browser version. How do I use a previous Firefox profile which has all my folders & bookmarks?

thank you for your help, JoAnne Johnson

Why can I not keep my Bookmark Folders in alphabetical order? Yes, I know I can see them alphabetically as an option in "Manage Bookmarks" but I am tired of scrolling up and down trying to find the proper folder to put my Bookmark into when I am saving a new Bookmark. This design or lack there of makes Firefox feel old and clunky.

Why does my tool bar disappear after typing in website in search bar? Book marks appear when I open a new window, however as soon as I type something in the search bar or click on a website the book marks disappear. I have to open a new window for them to reappear again. I didn't change any settings, it happened on it's own. I've added a screen shot for when I open a new window (book marks appear) and a screen shot for when I've typed something in the search bar (book marks disappear). Thank you!

Sometimes a bookmark folder on my toolbar randomly won't open. I can go to Manage Bookmarks and see the bookmarks there, but the folder on the toolbar won't open when I click on it. I haven't changed anything on the folder. Sometimes deleting a bookmark in the folder and restarting Firefox fixes the folder, sometimes it doesn't.

I haven't noticed any errors.

I'm using Firefox 118.0.2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu.

I'm on MacOS Sonoma 14.0. Since the Firefox update to v. 119.0, I have had a really strange issue which is hard to describe, but I'll try.

In the Bookmarks Sidebar, whenever I click a folder, it disappears from view leaving a blank, empty space. The folder is still there, and everything in the folder is visible, but the folder itself is just a blank space. When the blank space is clicked on, the folder reappears and can still be selected, but the folder beneath it becomes invisible. It is almost as though the background and the foreground text and folder outline are the same color. The same thing occurs with History. The bookmarks themselves never become invisible, just the folders.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Thanks.

In the past when I reinstalled Windows and then Firefox, I would sign into my account and all my bookmarks/addons etc. would automatically get reinstalled. Today I had to reinstall Windows and when I logged into my firefox account, nothing happened. Does Mozilla no longer keep these settings for us? I don't have any other devices to sync off of and never have, so where did all those settings come from when I did previous reinstalls?

After synching from my Mac to my iPhone, the bookmarks on my iPhone are bare. There aren't nearly as many as there are on my Mac. But, in looking at Firefox on my iPhone, I honestly don't see where synch is even turned on there.

Ever since the automatic update to Firefox 120 my multi-row bookmarks are not working properly. The slightest movement of a bookmark on the first row will instantly flip it down to the end of the 2nd row, and freeze all the bookmarks. I have to restart Firefox is Safe Mode to move the bookmark back where it belongs. If I drag in a new bookmark the two bookmark rows also freeze. Plus they freeze if a bookmark gets slightly jiggled but stays in place. Again, I'll have to restart in safe mode to put things back in order.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Thanks, BH

I have noticed that, when searching for bookmark tags in the Firefox (current) search bar, I often am unable to see all results for a specific tag. I found a partial solution here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1205508

This has enabled me to show (on my screen) a max of 23 results. This is OK, but I've frequently got more than 23 bookmarks tagged with a specific tag. So I can't see them. I need a way to scroll through the search results.

Another way of asking this might be: How can I do a tag search and see all bookmarks so tagged?

Thanks!
