Firefox Support Forum

Hi Where can I find firefox bookmarks on a pc without having exported them first my pc failed and I have a backup of the computers file structure so I cannot open firefox on the old computer. Does anyone know which folder the bookmarks are stored in Thanks

Firefox updated today and all of my previous bookmarks are gone. How can I get these back? The latest backup on my computer is from 2020 so that is not an option. My browser information/bookmarks was working perfectly when I closed out last night. I need that information.

Has anyone noticed that the Bookmark's / Daily Links 'pointer' gets reset to top of the list after selecting a bookmark?

Seeing this issue on a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I.e. (Example only) Say a user has 100 bookmarks on main toolbar [many bookmarks saved under Daily Links or under the ">>" icon] ...and user chooses any stored link/bookmark, say for example, ...approximately link/bookmark #50; that tab opens okay. After doing so, maybe user chooses to open another link in same listing nearby-say #51 bookmark in a new tab browser window (multitasking etc.), ...often now, user gets put to top of said list, to bookmark#1 (especially after ) selecting a saved bookmark by clicking on either the ">>" icon or selecting "Daily Links".

In my experience with Firefox, this action never reverted back to top of either list prior to latest 110.0 update (64bit). I haven't tried issue to see if repeated on Windows 10 or higher yet. Appreciate any insight or bug solution to this scrolling issue using bookmark toolbars.

Starting today, for some reason when I access my bookmarks, I have to start from the very top of all my lists of bookmarks. In the past when I accessed a bookmark, and then a clicked on the bookmark tab to access ANOTHER bookmark, my bookmark list would show where I had left off from the previous bookmark within that list. Now when I access a another bookmark after I had accessed a previous bookmark, my bookmark list starts from the very top of it instead of where I was previously within that bookmark list. Being I have many bookmarks, it is a real pain to have to constantly scroll down from the top of my bookmark list every time to access another bookmark. This peculiar situation just started today. In the past this would NOT happen when I accessed my bookmarks. Can someone please explain and help me? Thank you.

I browse many websites daily. I liked that Firefox would keep my progress when looking thru my bookmarks. After a update my bookmarks when open are back at the start or top of my bookmarks. So I have to scroll down every time to find where I left off. Is there a setting I need to set so the menu stays on the selected bookmarks or does not revert back to the top.

When going thru my bookmarks why does it jump to top of list when I go back to list. Very inconvenient when searching thru my bookmarks. Started with last update 110.

Hi Since the latest update of Firefox, if I am clicking on a bookmark at the bottom of my bookmarks list, when I then access the bookmarks list again the bookmarks list always returns to the top, so I have to scroll down again to the bottom, as my bookmarks list is quite long. It never did this before and would always remain at the same point in the bookmarks list when I opened them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The latest update has caused my bookmarks to always return to the top of the list instead of staying where I left off. I loose my place when checking a series of sites consecutively. I have to scroll down each time I want to use a bookmark. Highly annoying.

after scroling down in bookmarks menu (on toolbar) and selecting bookmark the list is coming back up. it was remembering position before last update and i would like it back. thanks in advance

For the first time this morning I discovered the following issue: I have a big list of sweepstakes bookmarks with a bookmark folder hierarchy, and Firefox does not remember the last view position of the bookmark side panel scroll bar. As a result, I have to scroll down and manually search the position myself. I expect Firefox to display everything as it was at the time it was last closed. Your help will be extremely appreciated. Microsoft Edge has been wanting me to make the switch, but besides the learning curve, I've been using Firefox for a number of years now, and would like to continue doing so. By the way, I believe the latest Mozilla Firefox update may have been the cause.

reference cor-el Feb 26, 2023, 8:20:54 AM . may i please say a huge thankyou to whoever responsed to my plea for help regarding Bookmarks. thankyou so much and so quick. i do get bogged down on these technicalities so to receive such outstanding support is much appreciated. thankyou. wish you well. andrew

Due to unfixable problems I wiped my Imac system drive and transferred a valid bookmarks.json file from my previous Firefox, copied before I had to reformat the disk. My previous Ventura data and backups were not transferable due to massive system data that could not be accessed. So I used my own backup files. The Import wizard does nothing but says it cannot find a file. There are no other options available. I have logged back in to my Firefox account and am using Mozilla VPN. How can I import this bookmarks file ?

I have been running firefox on my macbook air for years. I just recently upgraded my O.S. to Catalina. I did this primarily because my old firefox would no longer update. I did the upgrade to Catalina then downloaded "new" firefox. I have both "versions" of firefox available. the old one with all my bookmarks etc. and the new one with nothing. I hit move bookmarks on the new version but the only options were from chrome or safari. How can I move over the bookmarks to the new one. Thanks

websites showing NONE of them are connected in firefox either in my bookmarks toolbar or the quick list of websites on the top bar, so therefore I can not open any webpages. Please advise.

I have been dealing with an annoying problem after the latest update. I have some folders with multiple addresses on my "Bookmarks Toolbar" to check out some sites and accounts daily (Figure 1). Each folder contains more than one page (Figure 2) of bookmarks and I scroll down to open 10-12 addresses each time (Figure 2/3).

Before the update, there wasn't any problem and when I came back to the folder I could continue from my latest position (on that folder), the positions of the folders reset when I close firefox, but now after some seconds it jumps to the top of the folder and each time I have to scroll down and open some links very fast and while I try to open as much link as l can, it jumps to the top of the folder, It waste my time and energy.

may i please ask for advice and guidance. i have just reloaded Mozilla Firefox onto my Windows 7 laptop. the previous bookmarks are listed under bookmarks on the right hand but are not permanent on the screen. on the previous issue the bookmarks were permanently located on the left hand side and easy to refer to. i am not a techie. could someone please help in plain simple language ( i apologise for this). thankyou in advance. andrew

I have used Firefox for years. Yesterday, somehow "Pocket" login is all I can see on the bookmarks drop down menu and my bookmarks toolbar is blank. I can see the toolbar, but nothing is on it. I disabled the Pocket add-on, selected the toolbar and bookmarks to Always Show. None of the suggestions I found in the community have helped. I do not have a Customize option in the "hamburger" menu as I have seen in recommended.

I have gone into Settings and deselected everything Pocket.

I have to go into the menu, which shows "recent" bookmarks, and then have to search the bookmarks.

How can I get my bookmarks back on the toolbar and get rid of Pocket. Thank you!
