Multiple problems 1) bookmarks disappearing

  About 8 to 10 months ago a group of bookmarks disappeared from a bookmark file. I reloaded an exported HTML and no problems. 
 About a month ago Several groups of bookmarks disappeared over several days. A folder with say 20 bookmarks in would now have only 5. then none a day or two later. this happened across ALL but one of the default bookmark files and ones I created. I also noticed Firefox was not creating backup bookmark files so I removed Firefox, reloaded Firefox so everything was up to date and in the new I reloaded the older bookmarks HTML in the new installation.  
 Now it is happening again as of the 16th of May 2024 only this time Again no backup bookmark file are being created and Firefox is not creating manual backup file or HTLM Exports.
2)  I have gone though the Troubleshooting instructions and I am at a loss on what the issue is. I have used Firefox since the early 2000s and have never had this issue before but in the past year it has happen 3 times. 3) UNRELATED ISSUE - MAYBE- I found on the setting page at the top IS THIS NOTE -- Information Your browser is being managed by your organization.-- This is a personal computer. There is not an Organization. How do a get rid of this and does this mean someone else has access to my computer.

And when I open the Documentation there is a whole list of thing it is telling me I have no control over

When I enable vertical tabs and set the sidebar to expand on hover, the toolbar icons behave inconsistently. In the collapsed state, the icons are arranged vertically, which is correct. However, as soon as the sidebar expands, they switch to a horizontal layout—making it difficult to click the tool I want. Is there any way to prevent this automatic rearrangement and keep the icons in a vertical column even when the sidebar is expanded?

I use an iMac and Macbook Pro. Autofill that used to work is no longer working on both of these when I go to USPS.com and sign up for updates on packages. It use to fill in my name on the top line and on the bottom line, it would fill in my email.

What can I do to get this feature back? It stopped working around the beginning of 2025.

Thank you, Martha.

Hello. My untouched hyperlinks changed their color from darker blue to lighter. Visited hyperlinks remain as they always were, as far as I can tell.

This video has the color scheme I'm used to: https://youtu.be/V7gfuh-dRHM?si=uS3_PlVUdhu-48Kj

My colors changed, seemingly randomly, to the attached screenshot

Another thing worth mentioning is that if I open a new private window, the colors are what I'm used to.

What can I do to revert the change? How could this happen?

I got a new samsung phone & when i signed into firefox from it all the bookmarks on my pc are scrambled or are missing where as before i knew exacly where they was. Can anyone tell my how to get my pc bookmarks to exacly how they was please before i synced the account on the phone to my pc by mistake thank you.

I'm giving vertical tabs a try. An issue I have is that when I have enough tabs that I need to scroll through them, when my cursor leaves the sidebar, the list of tabs scrolls to the top. This is not ideal since all new tabs are at the bottom, and I have to scroll back down to switch from one newish tab to the next. The horizontal tab list didn't have this issue, always remembering the position the list of tabs was in. Is there a way to mimic that behaviour? If not, I'm hoping this will suffice as a feature request.

Hello, I am having and issue where my bookmarks toolbar keeps disappearing. I have the settings to have it "always show", but it is not there. I have to right click on the toolbar and select one of the other options then go back and select always show and then it reappears. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

Hi . I need to use German firefox due to work , always I was able to chenge the language to English or Polish . Now after update is not possible anymore . Can anyone advice what to do (see below picture)

This browser is not supported or you are using mobile. The BBMO is only supported on desktop using the latest Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera and Vivaldi browsers.

If you are using Safari or Firefox, consider writing to Apple Support or Firefox Support and asking them to allow Filesystem API on directories.

Copy and paste this message to reach out:

"Please create a new version of the browser app that supports the ability to use FileSystemAPI on directories, this is essential for working with a BeatBuddy project and SD cards that are saved on my computer using the online editor."

Is there a way for me to get firefox to save bookmarks to the top of a folder? I'm currently trying to switch over from Opera GX but I've really gotten used to new bookmarks saving to the top of a folder, and with some particularly large folders it's much nicer to have it at the top instead of having to scroll all the way down. I did come across some sorting extensions, but didn't automatically put it at the top. or sorted all my bookmarks by date added. which is also not what i want, because i also manually move things around.
