Firefox Support Forum

Добрый день Бояри, переустановил Linux Mint 19.2 Xfce (Ubutu) на своем ноутбуке. После входа в аккаунт Firefox, закладки не востановились. Нажатие на кнопку Синхронизации не помогает. Что сделать чтобы они там появились? Благодарствую

I want to remove folders from the bookmark menu and keep them in the bookmark toolbar. I need the space in the menu for websites not folders. Thank you

Possible causes are that security software if blocking access to places.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.

Did you try to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer ?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I do not have any security software that would suddenly block access and it was working fine until yesterday morning.

I have closed and restarted Firefox several times and followed your advice. I have also rebooted my computer.

I'm having trouble cleaning out bookmarks in Firefox. I use the iCloud Bookmarks add-on, so that I can sync bookmarks between Firefox on my Windows computer and Safari on my iPhone. I'm sure part of the problem (or the entire problem) is that I have too many bookmarks. I'm trying to clean them out and delete ones I don't need, but they keep coming back. I've tried deleting them in Firefox and in Safari. I'm not using Firefox sync. I've been looking for the answer but can't find it.

I have noticed that many bookmarks that I save will not appear where I saved them. I initially thought they were being deleted, but after searching for them I noticed they were in different locations/folders to where I saved them. The locations I find them in are different, although a batch of bookmarks appear together I think if they were saved at a similar time and to the same folder.

I'm trying to sort my bookmarks. Is it possible to have two library windows open simultaneously--one showing tags and the other open to a particular bookmarks folder? if so, can I either drag from one window to the other or change the bookmark's folder to a new one? Thanks.

Whenever I open a new window, the Bookmark Sidebar is displayed. I've tried going through Menu, Customize Toobar to remove the icon from the menu bar. That part works. But then the next time I open a window, there's the sidebar. When I went back into Menu, Customize Toobar, the icon wasn't there, so I restored the previous session to bring it back in order to try something else. Nothing worked.

Obviously, the problem isn't with the toolbar, but with a Window setting, but where is THAT information stored? It ain't under Options. It's either so obvious or so obtuse, I'm missing it. Thanks in advance.

I customized my firefox browser yesterday, using the blue stars and saving all my passwords; still, this morning again, when I opened firefox browser (for Mac), there are zero bookmarks, no passwords saved...

How does this work? can anyone give me a hint?

Before reinstalling operating system (and wiping the hard drive) on Macbook Pro, I exported bookmarks to html, but the bookmark toolbar links were not in the file. Is there a way to restore these bookmarks from TimeMachine, or some other way?

I made a backup of my current bookmarks as a .json file and then restored an earlier bookmark backup. When I did, all of the bookmarks ended up in the root and all of the folders I made to organize my bookmarks were empty. I didn't really care because I found the bookmark that I was looking for and then restored the new backup that I had made prior to restoring the older one.

Same thing happened, all of my bookmarks ended up in the root and all of my folders were empty again. That's way too much work to have to put them all back in the folders manually and surely it's not designed to work that way.

I did a system restore from several days earlier and that didn't fix it either. I also tried restoring an automatic bookmark, several of them, that didn't work either.

I have the latest version of Firefox installed and it was before I started any of this. I can't find the version number because "About Firefox" only says "Firefox is up to date" under Firefox Browser. Your software below has identified it as version 87.0. Running Windows 8.1.

This is really aggravating, I haven't got time for this crap.

I'm glad there are loads of you who understand the finer point of browsers, in this case Firefox. I'm not one of you though. Please is there a version of Firefox browser that is simple to use and uncomplicated in construction. I seem to spend a lot of precious time finding my way out of dead ends when all I want to do is maintain a simple list of bookmarks.

Please bring back the ability to add notes below each bookmark.

I asked this question in previous years, but now ESR has become incompatible with too many applications. I'm using Firefox 60.9.0 ESR with the bookmark notes feature for web site security prompts but:

• Most banks do not support release 60 ESR
• The Honey pricing app stays blank with ESR
• Camel Camel Camel does not work with ESR

I now have to use Microsoft Edge to for these connections and then go back to Mozilla if I get asked a specific security question. There has to be a way to stay with Firefox, but the market is forcing me back to Microsoft Edge.

Please bring back the Firefox bookmark Notes field.

If there are several applications with their own web interface (web server on different ports) on a host (same IP address), the same favicon is always displayed in the bookmarks for all applications.

Example: On one computer there are several applications with their own web interfaces such as home automation, media server, network management, etc. The applications are addressed via different ports (https://mydomain.com:xxx). The correct associated favicons are always displayed in the corresponding browser tabs.

But when bookmarks are created for these applications, they all get the same favicon.

I can't see any regularity which favicon is chosen. At first I thought it was always the favicon of the application running on port 80. However, I have also managed other favicons depending on the order in which I created the bookmarks. But in the end all bookmarks always have the same favicon, because the favicons also change later after the bookmark originally had the right favicon :-(

Hallo, habe ein Problem meine alten Lesezeichen auf meinem neuen Laptop ein zu binden. Kann auf dem alten PC die Sicherung nicht mehr machen, da dieser gecrasht ist. Komme aber an die Daten von der Festplatte. Habe mehrmals versucht die places.sqlite, Bookmarks und all die andern Daten, nach Anleitung vom Internet in meinen neuen PC ein zu spielen. Leider ohne Erfolg. Gibt es hier ein Problem mit Win 7 32bit(alt) zu Win10 64bit(neu). Über Tips und Anregungen wäre ich Dankbar.

20.04.2021 г. маленький ребенок несколько раз включил и выключил компьютер, после чего супруга отключила компьютер от сети. Вечером же, я как обычно запустил браузер, при этом всплыло маленькое окно, что там было точно-не помню. Когда запустился браузер, я обнаружил, что все вкладки, закладки и история исчезли вообще. Караул!!!! Практически всё связано с работой. Помогите добрые люди, как всё вернуть обратно? Не судите строго, но я откровенно слаб в компьютерных познаниях...

Firefox updated itself two days ago and now 'Bookmark this page' is no longer listed in the Bookmarks drop down menu. I want it replaced. Just as it was. LIKE THIS: Click on Bookmarks, select 'Bookmark this page' or Edit this bookmark' , select 'Done'. Then I am finished with that particular bookmark. I know all about the "bookmark star" procedure - not interested. The question is simply how to put 'Bookmark this page' BACK WHERE IT WAS? In the 'Bookmarks' drop down menu. Nothing else, just this one thing. I have read too many post with out seeing a solution to this exact question that I and others are asking. Thanks for anyone's help

I have been a fan of the awesomebar for quite some time; tab selection using % enables progress after chaotic web surfing and bookmark searching using * circumvents the need of retracing already known websites. (I have removed suggestions and history though, I find that those are mostly in the way.)

One limitation for me as a programmer is that while searching for Python helps me find the correct bookmarks, including C in a search is not helpful, as a c anywhere in a bookmark will give a hit. This even goes for '.com'! The same problem occurs when searching for bookmarks in the bookmark library.

My suggested improvement would be to allow search terms to be interpreted narrowly. This could be done by adding quotes, for example "C" (single quotes could also work).

Is this already possible in some way? And if not, where would be the best place to suggest the improvement? [feedback page reads "Please check back soon"] ( and I'm not sure whether this suits the Bugzilla platform.
