When Firefox updated itself in mid-July, all of my Bookmarks were deleted.
I have tried everything in the articles linked off of Mozilla Support, both by myself and after recommendations from other people, and nothing has worked.

A "bookmark's location" ought to show its location on my browser, rather than the PAGE'S ONLINE ADDRESS. If someone has a webpage bookmarked, then why would he/she need its URL? But that person might be going howdy-rowdy trying to find a bookmark in his/her own browser's folders (don't ask me how I know).

The latest update erased all my bookmarks . I went down a rabbit hole of articles that seem to go in a loop, and cannot find a single way to contact Mozilla. Does anyone even work there? Anyone have any luck restoring. The most common one I saw was to restore but mine doesn't have any dates to restore from. Thank in advance.

When I shifted over to firefox, I set the home screen to display bookmarks, and my bookmarks weren't showing (only one, not sure why this was the chosen one).
I deleted them all, and then added them sequentially, and they all appeared and all seemed to work.
Now they've all dropped off again.
I don't have 'restore previous setting' selected (as a prior answer suggests would work, described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253979). I sync my settings on my phone/surface pro/iMac.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

Firefox 69.0, Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I was having problems with Firefox taking a long time (30 seconds?) to fetch an open tab when restarting and I was unable to add or delete bookmarks. I learned about and turned off sync (set identity.fxaccounts.enabled to false) and that seemed to solve the problem. No more startup delay and was able to add and delete bookmarks. But now I've discovered that at some point in the session the ability to add and remove bookmarks disappears. If I close Firefox and restart, I get a message that Firefox is still running. I close the running session, restart, and the ability to add and delete bookmarks reappears, but eventually breaks again.

Hello!
I was wondering if it is possible to recover old bookmarks in the case when I do not have the access to my old device anymore. My HDD was replaced and I have lost app data. I was using sync on the old device. I have attached the list of my devices below. Basically my question is: is it possible to retrieve the data from a device that was synced 17 days ago, if I no longer have access to that device?
Thank you!
In Firefox Quantum version 69, each bookmark has :name, location, tags, and keyword; but no "description" section like previous editions. How can I access?

I much used the description section to: (1) write notes about particular articles of interest and links to related articles; (2) password hints for certain sites. And, whenever I imported my Firefox bookmarks to a different device, appreciated having my rather extensive and comprehensive descriptions collection at my finger tips. This was a special type of reference tool for me. When I changed the Firefox edition to the Quantum I was shocked and disappointed to discover that, after all these pass years of use thereof, the indispensable "description" section was not visible. Please, tell me if it is possible to remedy this problem? If it is a feature of Quantum to phase out the "description, then I will necessarily revert to using a different edition of Firefox that has the "description" section for each bookmark.

I'm playing around with something in Google maps and need to be able to export all my bookmarks with name (ie description) and location (ie URL) into a csv or txt file into two columns that can be edited in a text editor and then imported into google maps. All the export / backup routines leave me with files that are far too complex for me to manually edit into this format. Anyone any ideas how i can do this please? Thanks.
when attempting to bookmark using my tags list, typing the initial letter in the box results in a bookmark in the first tag displayed and not my desired one.

Recently encountered a problem bookmarking web-sites using my tags list. When I type the initial letter, eg: o, the first tag, alphabetically, beginning with 'o' is indicated. But my bookmark is automatically saved there instead of letting me choose a preferred tag from the drop down list. In order to bookmark in my desired tag the only way is to scroll through the whole list and tick my preferred tag. How can I return to the former method? Hope someone has a solution. I have the latest firefox update.

So, I'm testing out Firefox68. I created a profile for it (copied my Firefox54 profile to a new directory & renamed it) about 2 weeks ago) and have been testing it intermittently since then. But Firefox54 is still my default, so the bookmarks have changed.
I backed up the Firefox54 bookmarks and tried to restore them to Firefox68 but get the message that it can't open the file.
Exporting to HTML and importing is not a good solution because I have a LOT of bookmarks and import, obviously, adds to the existing bookmarks. Not sure what to do
I think I found where Firefox hides my bookmarks. I made several changes this morning and I want to make a backup copy.
Are they at at C:\USERS\BOB\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles?

A few months ago I started Firefox in safe mode ( I don't remember why because it was so long ago). After quitting Firefox and starting it up again I lost ALL my bookmarks and other settings (my profile). I researched how to find them again but it would not let me install the old profile. It simply refused to return to the older profile for some kind of security issue. Can anyone explain why this happened and how I can at least get my old bookmarks back?
P.S. The reason I didn't report this earlier is that there was NO WAY I could access this support area even through my account. I now seem to be able to do this so perhaps it was a technical issue with Mozilla that has now been resolved.
Is there any way to customize the icons for folders along the Firefox bookmarks toolbar?
The option for custom folder icons in the folder toolbar would be a great addition to the Folder Properties pulldown

Hi. Can anyone help me with this? I had a Windows 10 laptop that was fried, so I had to have data recovery done. The technician put my files on a new laptop. I then downloaded Firefox onto the new laptop. I tried to login to my account, but it didn’t accept my last known password. The system forced me to create a new account and wiped out all of my information. Now that I can get into the system, I see that a recovery key can be created in case the password is forgotten. I don’t recall creating a recovery key before, but the system never asked me for one. It just made me create a whole new account and lose everything. Anyway, in the recovered data, there is a file called “Old Firefox Data” from 8/11/16 although strangely the file says last modified 4/15/17. I’m not sure what any of this means, but is there a way that I can restore at least some of my old bookmarks and information from this file?
