I want it to troubleshoot my computer freezing with every web browser, so i decided to install firefox in another drive with more space in my computer, so before uninstalling firefox i decided to make an account to save all my bookmarks in which i did and everything seems ok. When I uninstall firefox and install it through the other hard drive I decided to log to my firefox account so I can download all my previous saved bookmarks, but when I hit the 3 horizontal parallel lines icon in the top right corner I see the sign in button but it only take me to create an account and not sign in. After a few tries to find help in the website and trying to chat with someone in which it seems that option is not available i decided to make an account with the same email and password and it let me. So for my understanding so far, somehow I lost all of that data, or didn't I?

So, since the last time I had this issue with the MASSIVE spacing in the bookmarks and drop down, and the lack of actual tabs showing in a definitive way, I went back to #89 (using W10) and stopped with the automatic updates.

Then imagine my surprise when right in the middle of typing an email all my tabs closed, so I go back and open a window and it says that I have updated to #99..!?

And, again, I have the issue of the MASSIVE SPACING in my bookmarks and drop down menus, yes of course I went back and change the config, etc, etc and still NOT FIXED!

What is going on with this, why is it that hard for the people developing this, to understand that we DO NOT NEED the MASSIVE SPACING in the drop down menus, and why in gods name has this not been actually FIXED, instead of trying these "work arounds"..

Simple solution, if it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!

I just don't have the time to constantly come here and spend hours trying to get these CONSTANT NOT NEEDED UPGRADES fixed..!

Is there an actual true fix for this constant issue..?

I have installed Firefox for windows 10 on a new laptop. I was able to sign in for synchronizing and got all my bookmarks synced on this machine. I'm able to view the bookmarks in sidebar, but the toolbar is empty. Even when i select "Always view Bookmarks toolbar", and I drag and drop "bookmarks toolbar items" to the appropriate toolbar. I've uninstalled firefox, deleted the appropriate mozilla folder in C:\ProgramData and C:\Program Files and ran cleandisk but for some reason i still am getting an empty toolbar.

I've tried several refresh installs and sometimes after I close firefox once, and reopen, the toolbar is filled with my bookmarks, but if I close it and open it again, the bookmarks are gone and don't reappear. Can anyone help?

Due to a rebuild, I just reinstalled Firefox and sync'd up to regain my bookmarks. In doing so, I ensured that the Bookmarks Toolbar is always present. But as you can see from the attached image, while the bar is there, there are no icons. When I move my cursor over the bar, nothing appears, nor can I click on anything. When I click on my Bookmarks icon and toggle to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder, I see all of my prior settings there.

I have subsequently uninstalled and reinstalled. Same result.

Any ideas?

Hello I refreshed firefox yesterday (never again!). I lost my whole profile bookmarks, passwords and everything.

I tried about:profiles press return action but it was not successful.

So I spent a couple of hours setting up my profile again, passwords etc. and now have a new one, or thought I did. When I opened up my laptop this morning, to my horror, there was another new blank profile with an msn search engine. I nearly cried. I went to start again and the first thing I did was change my search to google. When I did this the newly created profile reappeared.

So my question is, how do I save my new profile and how can I be certain when I close my laptop that it will open again to that profile? Also, how do I back that profile up so if it does disappear I can easily get it back?

I am no longer secure about my profile being there. I am afraid to shut down my laptop!

Hello,

I'm trying to sort bookmark folders by date. I followed some threads on-line, but its not saving. Am I missing something?

I'm going to Manage Bookmarks (see screenshot) i'm able to select a folder and click Views and it defaulted to 'unsorted' I select Sort by Added and the latest bookmarks in this area sort by latest on the TOP first. Perfect!

I exit out check bookmarks and they are still sorted in the reverse... meaning latest bookmark is still at the bottom and my very first bookmark in this folder is at the top.

Maybe its not designed this way? if so I don't see the reason to go under Managed Bookmarks and sort by anything if its not going to save that way.

Moral of the story trying to sort by date added in any folder not name (which is only thing I see when right clicking on any folder). I want latest saved bookmarks sorted from TOP down not latest's starting at the bottom.

Thanks

As if this morning, all my bookmarks have disappeared. I did a Firefox search for the problem and got a page titled "My bookmarks have disappeared". I followed the directions:

1. Click on the menu button to open the menu panel. Click Bookmarks and then click the Manage Bookmarks bar at the bottom. 2. In the Library window, click the Import and Backup button and then select Restore. 3. Select the backup you want to restore from the list of dated automatic backups.

   You can also select Choose File...to restore bookmarks from the manual backup, if you created one.

4. After confirming your choice, the bookmarks from the backup you selected will be restored.

The backup was not restored. I need help.
