Firefox Support Forum

Hello.. I turn on my laptop, start firefox and all my bookmarks are gone... I wasnt log in for very long time during using firefox and what I can do now to get back my VERY IMPORTANT bookmarks?

How do I get my bookmarks in alphabetical order? I have tried doing it in "Manage Bookmarks" and I get them in the correct order there, but when I go back to the Bookmarks list, nothing has changed. ???

I have the latest version of Firefox installed on my iMac and my MacBook Air, and even though I'm signed into my same Firefox account on both, and have synced bookmarks on both, the bookmarks on my toolbar on each device are different.

How do I get the same Toolbar bookmarks on both devices?

My computer 'guru' reinstalled Win10 in order to correct a serious problem. ALL of my programs were gone and I was left with a raw Win10. 6/12/2023 was last date prior to the disaster. I reinstalled Firefox. Using the "firefox.exe -p" I can only find the default profile. I DO HAVE a full backup done using the Win7 Backup and Restore feature. How do I resurrect my most recent profile? I will need to find the files(s) manually from the b/u. When I did a Full Restore the bookmarks didn't appear. Where and what files am I looking for? The attached screen shots from the b/u may be of help. [removed email from public forum]

From: Dell XPS 13 (5 years old) on Windows 11. Up to date with The most recent version of Firefox which I believe is 120. Always stay up to date.

To: Dell XPS 13 (brand new as of this week), Windows 11 with all updates and Firefox most recent 120 again always up to date.

I have tried reading several articles on here and using different methods from multiple answers and threads and have failed to find a method which exports All of my bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer.

NOTE:

Would highly prefer a method that replaces all bookmarks and data on my new computer exactly with everything from my old computer!

I don't care about my bookmarks on my new computer because I don't really have any but I do care very much about my old ones. At one point when I was syncing them, The bookmarks on my new computer which didn't include The vast majority of them disappeared from both computers for a short time until I restored to a specific different date a few times and luckily have my bookmarks on my old laptop still.

I have tried exporting them as a JSON and as an HTML to put them on my new computer. I've read the HTML method puts them all in one place as opposed to replacing all of them. Obviously I would prefer the JSON method. However I have tried both with no success. I've also tried moving them into the documents folder both times as recommended. I've tried to restore to date on the new computer.

Transferring bookmarks individually would be way too time-consuming as I have a ton of different folders.

Someone please help me find a solution to do something which should be basic which is transfer all my bookmarks for my old computer to my new computer. I'm also logged into my Firefox same account on both computers and have tried syncing with no success as well. No matter how many times I do it. I repeated all of these processes many times with small variations.

Please someone help me get my bookmarks! Thank you for your time and help!

Best regards,

Nate

I have lost all bookmarks. Manage Bookmarks does not help, selecting a restore from last 3 or 4 saved does not change anything. I am running Mac. I am frustrated. Please help.

Most of my bookmarks gone, in the sense, that they DON'T lead to the place listed, but to another place. For example, the link says "Health Hub", but logo is for Wells Fargo and the link is for that. Another one states, Austin Telco Federal Credit Union, and the link is to my home webmail.

How do I restore my bookmarks back? I've been adding the correct ones. But I don't see why I need to add them back. How can I get my bookmarks that I've had for years BACK?

Hi,

Whenever I make a bookmark, it automatically puts it in the Bookmark Toolbar, but I want it to default to the Bookmark Menu. I can't find any way to do that and can't find any good information about it. One site said I needed an ad-on, but I shouldn't need that for something so simple that used to work fine on my old computer with Firefox. I can't find any settings for this at all.

Please help me fix this.

Thank you,

Myrah

My bookmarks keep multiplying and duplicating and I can't delete them. I've signed out on all other devices, refreshed FF, stopped sync, Other than a new user account, I'm not sure what else to do

I can't figure out how do I sync my Google Bookmarks to my Firefox Browser account. I have been trying since installation of Firefox. What am I doing wrong. Firefox doesn't synch I guess. l need your help.

my bookmarks are no longer there have bookmarked more than 250 bookmarks I want them back as well as fix folder in one drive bookmarks keep them there safely even deleted bookmarks I want back

My Bookmark list disappears regularly and I have to seek ways ro re-install in the left hand margin. Also finding various web sites (Banks etc) no longer work well with Firefox. So with much regret it is goodbye Firefox as soon as I can reocnfigure

Sir, I'm not sure, but I think my bookmarks vanished in combinaton with an upgrade. All of them are gone, and I very much would like to have them back! Sincerely Yours, Dan

When I try to bookmark a page, I expect to see "Bookmark current tab" and when I click that, to be offered 1) to put it in the same place that the last bookmarked page was put 2) or, alternatively, to be given a choice of locations.

This is what happens on one of my two laptops.

On the other laptop, I am not offered a choice of locations. I am simply forced to bookmark the new page in the location where the previous bookmark that I made is, and I then have to go to "Edit This Bookmark" and move the new bookmark from the location where it currently sits, to the location that I want. This is clunky and inconvenient.

How can I configure this second laptop to behave like the other laptop?

Followed all the "how to" but it does not work . The section of old backup file "BOOK MARK Toolbar" and "other Bookmarks does not load with "import: or "select file says invalid file.
