1. 1. Most bookmarks icons disappeared.
2. 2. I can't delete all the bookmarks with no icon.
3. 3. I can't export bookmarks by clicking neither Restore... nor Export Bookmarks in HTLM. Nothing happens.

my computer died so I couldnt properly export the bookmarks. How do I import them from a different harddrive (old c) into my new harddrive? Dont know where they are in firefox. Can I cut.paste?

Or can I import my old IE favorites into firefox, again couldnt export the old ones and they are on an old hard drive I can no longer boot from (new motherboard needs win 10, old HD had win 7).

I didn't have a recovery key and my old computer had crashed and I set up a new computer. Now I can't restore my account. In the past you sent an email to reset passwords. This is totally crazy, plus even though a back up was made of my old computer nothing was backed from firefox. I've lost 3 years of bookmarks and all my passwords

Hi,

I've recently moved PCs and I'm trying to import all my previous bookmarks to the new PC. The old PC was wiped completely to re-use the components in the new PC, however it was fully backed-up.

Previous to re-formatting everything, I made a Firefox account for easy bookmark transfer.

When I logged into the Firefox account on the new PC, no bookmarks synced. However, website history did sync.

In 'Settings > Sync > Manage Account', scrolling to the bottom of the page displays the name of my old PC, so Firefox does know that it exists. If all my bookmarks are stored in the cloud and not on my own hardware, why aren't they syncing?

Thanks for any help.

There has been a legitimate issue with the bookmarks since the 92.0 update. This applies only to Windows 7 users. The list is very lazy and will actually freeze up. It takes forever to highlight the bookmark you want and the favicons are delayed in populating. Refreshing Firefox doesn't work. Renaming favicons.sqlite and places.sqlite, and those with the -shm and -wal extensions, if existing, doesn't work either. I don't need help from contributors. The following message is to the developers &/or whoever bastardized Firefox since the 92.0 update...

As I stated, this is a Windows 7 issue. The developers should fix this problem for us Windows 7 users. It was them who caused this issue since the 92.0 update. Everything worked perfect until then. Here’s a bright idea for the developers. How about getting this matter fixed, so that us Windows 7 users can have the same functionality as everyone else. Stop screwing around with a million and one updates every year. You people are doing more harm than good. The people running Chrome are a hell of a lot more intelligent. No issues whatsoever with Windows 7! Try that on for size.

Thanks a ton in advance

Hi. I tried to import my bookmarks from Google to Firefox (on a Mac) as per the instructions but no joy. I followed the process and at the end it says that the process was successful, but when I look in the Manage Bookmarks area (and everywhere else), the bookmarks are not there. Help please.

I use the sidebar to see my bookmarks on the left side of the screen. When using the Search bookmarks box there used to be an X on the right side to clear the search setting. That X is now gone which means I now have to close & reopen Bookmarks to clear the box. I believe this issue started with version 93 but I can't say for sure if it worked in version 92.

I want to sort bookmarks alphabetically by name that are in a folder. I hit sort, they rearrange perfectly. I close the window and they go right back to the way they were.

I have problems in some favicon of bookmarks. (Wrong favicon) How can i reload favicon of a specific bookmark? There is an extension for this job : [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../|CheckMarks] But this extension has no option to reload favicon of bookmarks individually for force firefox to reload favicon of a specific bookmark! Please give me a solution on this. In some years ago there was an extension with name favicon reloader. It was ok. But does not exist anymore.

After reinstalling Firefox (to new 64-bit version), I've lost all of my favicons. I'm seeing that only way to get them back is to individually select each bookmark. Is there a way to get the bookmarks to go and automatically download their favicons so my bookmarks will be repopulated again?

I purchased a new laptop and downloaded Firefox and logged in. The bookmarks loaded but the most of the icons/logos for the sites are not loading, I just have the generic internet globe icon. For the sake of room on the tool bar, most of my bookmarks are the logo only, no text, because the logo is sufficient to know what the bookmarks leads me to. I have rebooted and relaunched the website numerous times but no change. I read one of your articles with someone having the same or similar issue but the response was very confusing and didn't seem to address the real root cause. Please help me get this resolved.

Hello, I signed in to Firefox on a new computer and it appears to have synced to the new computer, overwriting and erasing all my bookmarks. I use Firefox at work because I need to move through several computers. Firefox allows me to bring my bookmarks with me to each station. Now it appears I may have erased all my bookmarks by syncing this new computer, not the other way around as it always has. Please help me recover my bookmarks.

Years ago I set up Firefox with my bookmarks down the left hand side of the screen. I have DOZENS of them. after I closed the vertical window for a screen shot I can't find how to restore them....

HELP!!!

I was editing the bookmarks on PC in hope that the change will reflect on my iPhone with the sync on, but contrary to what I hoped, the sync worked the other way around, any change I made on PC will be reverted in a few minutes, which seems that it has been synced by the bookmarks on my iPhone. How do I get it right? I would like to have the ability to make changes on either device and reflect on the other device.

I got a new computer, installed Firefox. I was able to transfer all my passwords, but none of my bookmarks came with. I deleted and reinstalled a few time to no avail, I was able to get everything over with chrome (is firefox on my other computer), but this one I cannot even add a bookmark by clicking on the star.....
