I find recovering deleted bookmarks difficult in Firefox. Typically, I am told: "on August 12 you deleted 12,540 bookmarks. Do you want to recover them all and over-write your existing bookmarks?" To which the answer is obviously, no.

What I want is a system much more similar to the Microsoft File Explorer Recycle Bin, which lists deleted files on an individual basis, so if I have deleted a file, I can see its name, the date it was deleted, and where it came from, and I can restore that particular file. Or, since we are talking bookmarks here, recover a particular bookmark.

How can I achieve that? Is it possible?

I keep getting a triangle deal on Firefox that indicates I need to add the "permission request for Firefox extensions" from Mozilla. Is this something I need to install or just information regarding extensions. From reading about this it doesn't appear to be safe because it can access and change nearly everything? Please respond Thanks, Larry at [email address]

Every now and then Firefox asks to to shut down the program and reopen it. But when I do that I lose all the open tabs I had before. I also tried the new container tab system but it doesn't work

I am so tired of the stupid banner popping up every time I put something into full screen, that says "press escape to exit full screen".

Is there a way to disable that?

I am on a windows 10 PC.

For some reason, I was unable to verify my account. I even thought I was wrong with my password, but that was not the case. When I use a different browser, Apple does not just ask me for a password but also a key; however, this option was not available on Firefox. With this, I can't log in to my iCloud on my Firefox Linux app.

Getting this error: There was a problem enabling two-step authentication. Check that your device’s clock is set to update automatically and start over.

Yes Im on the right timezone, updated on auto sync and have tried multiple 2FA apps.

Just updated to FF 141.0.3. The browser had advised me to restart to finish the update. So I did. But in doing so, not all my tabs were recovered.

Most were, but like 3 were not.

No matter how many times I visit Amazon.com, it WILL NOT show up on my Home Screen as an ICON. I have tried 2 Rows and 4 Rows. I visit amazon many times in a week, sometimes many times in a day and it never shows up on the Home Screen after my last Firefox Upgrade to 142.0. Before the upgrade, it was always on my Home Screen. I have deleted many ICONS hoping it would somehow fill in as I visit Amazon - but it's not happening.

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

You listed some processes for importing Bookmarks,folders and files from a laptop with Google Chrome Bookmarks with passwords from CSV files or Bookmarks from HTML files. I didn't have my printer installed on my new Linux Mint Firefox Laptop so I couldn't print out the instruction to follow. Hopefully, I now have my Canon Printer installed on my Linux laptop so that I can print out all the instructions in detail. The information was posted to the right of this comment box. Please post the information again so that I can print it for reference and to follow. Thanks very much.

Usually, when I start typing the address of a website I visit frequently, Firefox will suggest the complete address. Now, for the last week or so, it doesn't. For example, if I start typing guardian.com, the default is to search, and then only when I type the final "m" does it switch to "visit" when I press enter.

In settings, under Search, and Address bar, the box to suggest browsing history is checked, and at about:config, browser.urlbar.autofill is set to true.

I have Firefox version 141.0.3
