Firefox Support Forum

Hello, I see that when adding a new bookmark, Firefox now remembers the last used location and sets it by default. I would prefer to keep the previous behaviour of defaulting to "Other bookmarks". Is there a way to disable it please?

Thank you

I prefer to save my bookmarks to my Bookmarks Toolbar but FF defaults to Other Bookmarks. It's annoying at best and a waste of time to have to select the location I want every time. This should be an option. I don't want Other Bookmarks in my toolbar, either, thanks very much.

Put firefox on mobile and cant get it way i want it. 1/ when start firefox want to have iprimus as homepage but can't find anywhere to do it. 2/ have firefox bookmarks,internet Explorer bookmarks, I just want to put them in order from the most used to the least or put firefox and explorers bookmarks into one but again can't workout if can do either, need help just cant work it out, sorry have to ask for help

I posted this problem back when v.80.0 was out. It was later fixed, but now it's back.

Loading an external bookmark as the default start page in v.83.0 and using it as the default bookmark (file:///C:/Mine/Testing/BOOKMARK.HTM) creates an error.

The error is that clicking on any url in the bookmark to visit and then clicking the top left arrow to return will always bring you to the top of the bookmark. It used to bring you back to the same location on the bookmark. Now, it brings you back to the top of the bookmark. Thus making it necessary to scroll back down to the location (url) you just visited. Really annoying to have to keep do this in order to return to your original location in the bookmark.

Hope someone can help again.

jscher2000 (jscher2000) helped and filed a bug report back then....... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1636364

Please note that this is the sidebar I am talking about, not the toolbar which uses browsers.toolbar.bookmarks.2h2020. I am asking for the flag if it even exists to have the ability to have the bookmarks sidebar show only when on the homepage and new tab page, akin to how the bookmarks toolbar only shows up when on those specific pages.

Is there a way to sort the bookmarks in the dropdown menu?

I can sort the bookmarks (e.g. by name or date last used) in the "Show All Bookmarks" menu, but this doesn't affect the dropdown menu, which I usually use. Also, if I close the "Show All Bookmarks" menu and reopen it, they are again unsorted.

I just want to quickly navigate to websites I visit often. Having them on top of the Bookmarks dropdown menu would be very useful. Do I need a third party add-on for this?

I closed a session with about 70 tabs, and upon reopening, firefox opened two windows, and the "restore previous session" was grayed out. I looked at "recently closed tabs" and there was only about 5 recent google searches in there, and none of my older tabs.

I closed the windows and tried again, this time "restore" was available but it opened only one tab to a website I hadn't had open in a session for weeks.

So I tried the fix listed here: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1245632

Renamed the folder. And now on opening, all of my history, my bookmarks, my bookmark toolbar, is completely gone, and the only toolbar bookmark I have is "Getting Started" like a brand new version of firefox.

Please help, I have so many important websites in my bookmarks and I'm ruined if I can't restore them.

Hello it's Asil, I want to get bookmark tab like a windows taskbar as style automatic hidden till getting mouse over. Is there any chance to do it?

I upload image about it there is lots of websites added to bookmark wanted to be exact.

Hi there, I would like to keep my bookmarks and all the profile in the new firefox. How can I do that? And I habe the problem that I need to sign every time I open the browser. Is that the normal procedure?

Regards from Germany, Robert

I recently had to hard reset my laptop. I have been unable to restore my bookmarks. I do NOT have the "restore" option in the other bookmarks section of the library. I do NOT have that option in the tools section. I looked at about:profile. I started to launch an other profile but Firefox is not offered as a choice for importing bookmarks.

I use a toolbar. Sorry, I'm old fashioned. When I install a new linux system, the first thing I do is change firefox to show the toolbar. There is a 'Bookmarks' item on the toolbar. When you click it, it gives you a menu of several options, including 'Bookmark This Page Ctrl+D'.

Until recently, clicking on that option opened a popup that allowed you to select a sub-folder to put the bookmark in. That was extremely useful because a flat list gets very long very quickly. You could of course just click on save bookmark in the popup and it gets added to the flat list, or, as I do, you could first select a sub-folder.

Now, clicking 'Bookmark This Page Ctrl+D' results in the bookmark immediately being saved to the flat list and a little alert momentarily pops up declaring 'saved to library'. Apparently 'library' is the same as 'other bookmarks'. How very clear (sarcasm). In addition to not knowing where the bookmark actually is, I now have to manually move it to the desired sub-folder with several other clicks. How convenient (sarcasm).

I want the old behavior back. How do I get it?

By the way, I am very old fashioned. I don't register with websites, even firefox. I used an email blackhole to sign up. I will come back here periodically (once a day) to see if there are any useful answers or questions asking for clarification. I've bookmarked this page, so it should be easy. When I'm done, I'll disappear forever, thank you very much.

I am VERY VERY ATTACHED to my bookmarks in my previous Firefox browser. Somehow Chrome ended up syncing its old set of bookmarks into Firefox which is a huge downgrade and loss of information. Is there a way for me to retrieve the previous set of bookmarks that I had spent so much time adding to?

Hi i am experiencing a weird thing for the last 20 days or so.See as part of my work flow i created some folders for the bookmarks and i am bookmarking the pages depending upon the category or folders i created respectively.Somehow for the past 20 days or so when i ever i hit Ctrl+D to save the bookmark its showing the previous folder name in which i saved the earlier bookmark.Previously it used to show blank and from the drop down i used to select the appropriate folder to save the bookmark to the particular folder. Is it a bug or something i need to fix it ?

Note: Please see the attached image i tried to bookmark this particular page and its already showing the previous bookmarked folder. On the attachment I hide it for the privacy sake with red color.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi all

I am running firefox 82.0.2 and I cannot export my bookmarks to html

When I take the jon file and check it on another browser many bookmarks are missing like a lot

Is there a tool I can use that will export my bookmark -- so the job gets done and I will remove my current version of firefox

Thank you all

I just upgraded to v. 85 (win 10 desktop). None of my bookmarks are showing. I tried using another profile, and restoring from a backup, but neither worked. Is there a way to find my old bookmarks?
