Firefox Support Forum

I have a list of clickable bookmarks that normally displays in the left side panel. It's currently missing. If I click on 'Other bookmarks' it appears to the right but is not pinned and doesn't seem pinnable. How do I get it back to displaying in the left side panel all the time as before? Clicking on 'Bookmarks Toolbar' or 'Bookmarks Menu' doesn't bring it up. I don't see any other options in the side panel nor do I see anything relevant under 'Bookmarks' in the top ribbon menu......? Many thanks and regards Ray

I had to reinstall Firefox and restore my bookmarks from an HTML file. After the restore, I found I could only copy a few of my Bookmarks Toolbar and Other Bookmark links to the corresponding files in the new installation. I was only able to move the Toolbar bookmarks to the proper file because the old Toolbar file appeared on my toolbar, and I could move the bookmarks one by one to the toolbar until all were entered.

I'm faced with a similar problem with the Other Bookmarks (OB) file. I only have five or six bookmarks in the file, and I need to add about a dozen more. I tried copying and pasting them into the new file in the Bookmarks Manager; the bookmarks copied but would not paste into the file. (I know they copied because I successfully pasted them to a LibreOffice document.) I tried opening one of the copied links; it said it was in the OB file, but it wasn't listed. Why can't I just bulk-copy the bookmarks into the file in the Bookmarks Manager? If that isn't possible

Hello,

I like to keep my bookmarks neat & tidy. That's why it's irritating to find duplicate "Other Bookmarks" in my Bookmarks Folder. I now have 3 of these folders. They all have exactly the same info in each of them. There are actually 2 "Other Bookmarks" folders in my main Bookmark Folder in addition to the original one under Bookmarks Menu.

I'd like to have just the original one that's filed under Bookmarks Menu. I'm afraid if I try to delete the extra ones that I'll somehow delete all of them. I've attached images of what I'm seeing.

Thanks! - Andre'a

Screen popped up suggesting to refresh firefox. Did so 2nd time it appeared. Now home page is radically different and bookmarks are no longer visible. There is a pulldown screen for bookmarks but some had been deleted ages ago and others used daily are no longer there. Did the "about:profile" process and opened a fold and it has a folder marked "bookmarks"

How do I recover all the bookmarks and have them displayed as previously (vertical listing on left side). Never had anything like this happen previously.

Got a new PC and all my sincronized data is gone.

Don't have the profile in the account, nor do i have the files that were on the computer.

Is there any way to recover this info?

I have downloaded Firefox 117. I am currently on Firefox 102.15. So I want to transfer my bookmarks to the new version, as well as some recent history. I am unable to find these files to import when using Firefox 117. Also I says that version 102.15 is the most up to date version of Firefox. So this is confusing.

For the second time in about four months, my Firefox browser crashed. A window appeared, didn't understand it, and it refreshed to its original state. I had to uninstall and reinstall. Took a while but I got the browser back to how I had it, but I lost my bookmarks. There was a file that was created on my desktop, "Old Firefox Data." Are my bookmarks somewhere in there? And if so, how would I bring them to the new browser?

Thanks.

As shown in the image the tags field is missing from my bookmarks editor. Any idea how this could happen? Any options or about:config options I should check?

I've attached troubleshooting information. I'm on Arch Linux and I have two other Arch machines on the same Firefox version (Arch Linux Package) that do not exhibit this behavior.

My favorites/bookmarks has too many duplicate saved web sites on it, How do I remove the duplicates? This was not of my doing most have been repeated on my favorites bar/list 3 or more times. I am not sure how to delete the duplicates and not the originals. Can anyone Help me with this?

I've seen the posts about going to about:config and changing "browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground" to TRUE. But I still have the issue, how can i fix it?

What happens: I have my bookmarks column on the left. I middle mouse button a folder, then my current tab switches to those new opened ones

What I want: When i open up a folder, i want to keep my current tab viewed and have those others opened but i go to them when i want.

Note: I can middle mouse button + shift on a folder and it doesn't switch.. But i want to just middle mouse button and have it not switch

Did i mess up a different setting? Pic is current settings when it comes to browser.tabs.load

Thanks for your time.

View bookmarks with one click (i.e. from a top level interface control)

I would like to be able to view my bookmarks (not the toolbar) with one click and then open a bookmark with the second click. Is this possible?

The interface has top level controls for a promotional "feature" called "Pocket"; the extensions menu of all things; "toggle reader view" (which inexplicably opens some kind of FAQ page and which has forced me to retype this question by opening something else in the window instead of merely changing the display of the current window), and "list all tabs"—basically a bunch of features that I imagine very very very few people ever use. But no button for bookmarks? What am I missing?

Hi

I use Firefox at work on 2 different computers. Firefox sync is unfortunately disabled and not an option.

Is there any way I can sync my bookmarks / profile between the 2 machines?

I do have access to Dropbox. Is it possible to use that to somehow sync the bookmarks between the 2 machines? Doesn't have to be in real time.

Right now I am manually exporting bookmarks and re-importing every time I switch computers.
