Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

Hello,

My university requires me to logon to use campus services every 24 hours. Upon expiration of the logon credential after the 24 hour period, a logon window will prompt to re-enter credentials. The problem is that it will continue to prompt log in with new pop up windows every few minutes so if I don't log in, for example, over night, I'll wake up to hundreds of log on window pop ups. This creates system wide slowdown due to memory resources being maxed out. I can't enable universal pop up blocks as the systems I require use pop ups and having to open each pop up manually does work in my workflow. Any solutions? Thank you!

Is there a way of changing/removing the independence of browser windows?

Whenever I have multiple windows and close one them I cannot retrieve them, re-opening closed tabs doesn't work, since it only works on their own window.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

I hope I have explained myself, thanks.

Hi!

Previously, all the sites saved in a single container could be accessed via the dropdown arrow to the left of the 'close,' 'minimize,' and 'maximize' buttons. Now, it only shows current tabs, tabs from other devices, close duplicate tabs, and add a tab to one of the containers. But how to open those containers is unclear.

PS I have the latest update 139.0.1

Hello, I received an email from you asking me to change my Firefox password for account security reasons. When I changed it, all the data synced in Firefox with my email was deleted. This upset me greatly because I lost important data and saved websites. Please restore the deleted data. Thank you.

OK, for me, this has always been the 'go to' browser of choice.... until recently...!! I've tried a whole heap of browsers, some open-source derivatives, some based on gecko, you name it, I've tried it.... for Mac and for Windows, although I won't put some of those tripe PC ones on my beloved Mac, and there in lies the problem...!! My Mac Pro is a 17yr old quad which is still quick by today's standard and I run El Capitan as it won't upgrade anymore, running Firefox v78... I don't it to be running the most up to date b'cos I'm not doing anything special to warrant getting t'morrow's browser today.... my problem is.... some of the extension which made this browser run faster have been stopped due to verification issues...!! How did these extensions make to the Add-ons if they were never verified in the first place as they were in use for a while before use was halted...!! Now, I get stupid pop-ups randomly, along with salacious material asking my to join suggestive websites and worse, some of which bounce to 'other' websites when you try to delete them...!! Do you not have ways of verifying these extension before they hit the Add-ons page...?

https://www.wrightbroslandscaping.com/ won't open, gives me "Secure Connection Failed" message. I want it to open anyway.

Error code: SSL_ERROR_INTERNAL_ERROR_ALERT

usually I am given the option to open it anyway, but not on this page.

Hi All,

I have a number of computers that I would like to have configured identically, including Firefox's extensions. Is there a mechanism that I could use to automatically install a list of extensions on my (linux, windows) computers?

TIA, Mike.
