I have done everything I can find to get my Firefox bookmarks menu working correctly in Windows 11. Every time I shut down and come back they are not working and I have to do a restore. The bookmarks are there but they are dead, inactive. I can do a restore and everything is happy, until I shut down and log back in.

I've done 2 clean new installs including deleting all the folders and files.

I've also done deleted remaining Program & Profile Folders (For a True Clean Install)

I have always been able to click on a box in the upper right to see my bookmarks on the left side of the screen.

This has now disappeared and the only way I can see the bookmarks is to go to "manage bookmarks". I don't see how to bring it back to the way it was.

I didn't knowingly change anything.

Thank you

I've switch to a new computer and exported and imported my book marks, in json file. I can see them in the library, but I don't know how to get them to display on my sidebar. Help? thanks brian

Why have YOU removed my Bookmarks Sidebar??? I have collected many bookmarks, but NOW there is NOTHING in the sidebar!! This is a rubbish way to update users - STOP IT!! I want my book marks on MY sidebar ... stop thinking YOU KNOW BETTER!! GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK MARKS! WHERE *I* WANT THEM!!

Seriously this is SO RUBBISH I will dump Firefox ... after MANY MANY YEARS!!

Everytime I load Firefox the bookmarks sidebar is not shown.

Navigating thus View => Sidebar => Bookmarks I can bring it up. It will stay visible for the whole of my browser session. However, after I've closed this session and started another. the bookmark sidebar is missing again.

How can I make the bookmarks sidr be available all the time?

FF 127.0.2 OS Windows 11 Pro v 24H2 Build(26100.994).

Hello,

I updated my version to 153.0. The Bookmarks left panel was there. I did a CTRL+B, this one disapeared normal But once done I wanted to have my Boorkmarl left pannel back. So I did CTRL+B no Bookmark left pannel was displayed :-(

Regards.

After exporting bookmarks.html from Ffox on old computer, importing it to Ffox on the new one, all good, except that bookmarks toolbar shows on the imported list but doesn't display as toolbar.

I asked this same question yesterday and a little while later, the horizontal bookmarks toolbar "magically" appeared. Now the toolbar is gone again. How can I find it and get it to stay at the top of my page? (I'm an 80-year-old granny/computer-dummy.) Thanks in advance for any help.

All of a sudden I can no longer add bookmarks to my Firefox desktop. At this point I can not even access the "Bookmark current tab." Are there settings that control the Bookmarks section. Thank you

I'm running Firefox 153.1 64-bit on Windows 11 Pro 25H2. I have a LOT of bookmarks. Possibly over 3,000. Somehow over time I've managed to create a LOT of bookmarks in the Other Bookmarks folder unintentionally. I need to move and merge those to the correct Bookmarks Menu and ideally eliminate any dupes. Everywhere I look for a process to accomplish this I seem to get a lot of "can't be done". Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

I recently added the "Display Autoplay" extension. I can't seem to figure out how to get the icon to show in the tool bar. See Attached acreen shot. That's assuming that this extension icon can be added to the tool bar. I look forward to anyone's comments. Thanks

I own three laptops and they are in my Firefox account and synced. I have several bookmarks for site I frequently visit. On two laptops, based on my settings, when I tap a bookmark it opens up in its own tab. This is how I want these to function. For some reason, my third laptop does not behave in this manner. The new bookmark opens up on the tab I am currently in. It gets bumped and the new bookmark opens. This is exactly how I do not want it to perform. What is going on? Also, when I set up settings doesn't it work for all my laptops since I am signed in?

For some unknown reason, I recently changed my "search engine" from StartPage to just the regular Firefox search (which is what I prefer) but I lost the bookmarked website logos that were along the upper (or right side) of my toolbar....I can't figure out how to get them back the way they were! HELP!!

This is my Firefox browser on a home laptop running Windows 11

I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?

Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.

I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).

I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)

Thanks in advance for any help!

In your previous version of Firefox, I could click on "Bookmarks" above the search bar to see all of my bookmarks listed. Is that capability still available? I don't want my bookmarks showing in a toolbar. Thank you.
