Is the guid field in JSON of the bookmarks file now encrypted?

When I discover that I have already bookmarked a URL, I want to easily discover in which of my folder(s) I have saved the bookmark. In some cases, the hosting site morphs the bookmarked URL with a redirect, so I am unable to discover the containing folder by browsing to the URL. Sigh. I would also like to discover situations where I have already bookmarked a single URL in several different folders.

I have downloaded the JSON for my bookmarks file and parsed the JSON. I now know that I have 7388 URLs bookmarked which are saved across 111 folders.

I am having trouble discovering the parent/child relationships between the various folders in which the bookmarks are saved. I have several situations where child folders have the same names and can be identified only when the child's parent folder is known.

Undated Firefox documentation at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/d.../BookmarkTreeNode#parentid] suggests that each node in the bookmark tree should have a parentid and an index. I see an index but I do not see a parentid. I do see a GUID field. I have seen comments suggesting that parentid has been replaced by GUID.

But the values I see (GUID=FqNNI0k91ZjW, for example) do not make sense and have no connection to the ID fields (ID=2658, for example).

Can anyone help me make sense of the GUID values I am seeing? Are GUIDs now being hashed for some reason?

Edge Suddenly Taking Over (My Beloved Firefox) - MS Edge? BLECH!

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)

I think that i get some virus in my computer, in the last two days some of my accounts were accessed by an unusual way.

I´d like to know if the problem was my passwords kept on firefox, all the apps that were hacked had the password saved on the firefox manager.

There's a way to know if my passwords on the Firefox were stolen ?

Hello everyone.

When opening an image in a new tab, I get an image with a glitch in the background (attached). I've read forums and websites, thought about it, tried the suggested options with commands to disable certain settings, tried installing Firefox forks – nothing helps. The persistent stripes continue to haunt me. Then I installed a couple of other browsers to compare and verify. The same issue doesn't exist in them. In short, I've racked my brain trying to solve this problem.

I need your help and ideas on how to overcome this.

Thank you. Sincerely, Alex.

I have the following in stock: i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz 32.0 GB RAM 64-bit operating system, x64 processor Windows 10 Pro Edition Version 22H2 OS Build 19045.2673 Graphics Card: ASUS DUAL-RTX5060-O8G

Does anyone know how to get rid of that icon in tabs with the newest version? I have found several mentions of code like below, but they are anywhere from 7 months ago to years ago and don't seem to work with the new update:

/* Disable unmuted icon */ .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }/* Disable unmuted icon */ or .tab-audio-button { display:none !important; }

or something with: .tab-icon-overlay

thanks!

Hello. I've recently upgrade my internet connection (from fiber 200 to fiber 500 now), and I've noticed that firefox is slower than other browser like chrome, brave, edge etc.... The same was happened before so I didn't pay so much attention until the day I made the speedtest. The results was somehow disappointing (made the test multiple times, and days) I've made the test with or without extensions, same problem. I've check also that No Proxy setting is enabled. I've tried the firefox refresh, same results.

Can you please help? Mike
