Firefox Community Forum

I've just spent over an hour trying to learn fully how to organise bookmarks: I'm used to using computers; I'm used to Firefox; I'm not stupid; I though to give it one last try.

I bloody give up!!

Anyone else as frustrated as me???

This ridiculous update just deleted everything on my firefox. All my book marks are gone, passwords into sites and accounts etc. EVERYTHING I had is gone. i have tried going into the "profile" folder and it says its blank. I am not an IT guru so I do not know how to follow all these insane instructions to get back what should have never been deleted. i will be deleting firefox and never using it again because some idiot decided to update my system without my approval and then it deleted everything.

I have a new computer and want to put my bookmarks list as a drop down button on the main menu like I had on my older computer. It is very confusing following your instructions on how to do this. Can you help? Chuck

I am a grandma with limited computer knowledge. I have always used Firefox as my browser. Am on my second Lenovo laptop. Now bookmarks are duplicating. I find bookmarks very useful. HELP!

Version 105 did not install and get my accounts and passwords from the previous version? This is not a good update! And your help does not HELP!

Why did the Ubuntu update delete all of Firefox (I will also ask on Ubuntu forum)?

I used this tablet for many years and got lots of bookmarks on my browser, but recently its antenna stopped working. I did some research and found out you can export the bookmarks from firefox even if you cant connect to the internet to use the sync functionality. I rooted the phone, copied the browser.db file from firefox and exported the bookmarks table with SQLite Browser. I read on some verry old (6-8 Years ago) threads on this forum that they imported the bookmarks.csv they got from the db in excel, then modified it in some sense and then exported it to a html file to import that in firefox. I did everything to where i have the whole table in excel, only need to know what i need to modify in it.

Hey, I with through different ways to try and recover my bookmarks and saved passwords after my pc went through a forced update to the new windows OS. I checked other E-mails to see if I may have used the wrong one to login to Firefox, though I only have one. Even check in about:profiles. I can't find any file in my Mozilla folder to try and restore or import bookmarks. I am at a loss and would appreciate any help in this before I start trudging through trying to get my bookmarks back one by one.

I am trying to copy all bookmarks from one Windows 10 PC to another. Firefox 105 to Firefox 105.

I created Bookmarks.html, confirmed it contained data, but the new PC's import does nothing. No messages. The HDD does grind away for several seconds, then returns to rest, as though it is processing, but no bookmarks appear.

I have tried moving the html file from network fileserver to C: where Firefox is installed, but no change in behavior.

Congratulations! You have made both Firefox and Thunderbird unusable. With the latest Firefox screwed up update I can no longer get my bookmarks to show in a column on the left side of my screen. With Thunderbird I can no longer get my addressed to show when I try to send an email. Will you please unfuck your upgrades. I will now have to use another supplier. Guess I won't be sending any money to support mozilla.

I have tried to import saved bookmark (Firefox json and html save). It restores the file but automatically unsorts the booksmarks from folder and all file the links go to my bookmark toolbar. I want to restore the way I organized them originally.

I am using Firefox portable. I received a prompt that an update was available, so I downloaded it. Now, ALL of my bookmarks disappeared. The version it downloaded is 105.0.3

I'm VERY not happy ! * I had 100's of bookmarks !! If there had been a way to turn off updates, I would have done it a long time ago.

I assume there isn't any way to retrieve them ??

bold text I can not delete history from by browser. the option"clear recently order" is un-abilitated (clear gray color) I tried also with manage history. and it does not work neither

How can I copy all of my Bookmarks from a hard drive which crashed, and is no longer bootable? While I can no longer boot from the drive, I can still access all of my files using another computer, and attaching the un-bootable drive with an external docking device. Is there a file where the bookmarks exist on my old drive; that I can copy and paste to the new Firefox I will be loading? If yes; will I have to do this to a new setup on my old computer first, or can I just do this onto the new computer I'm getting ready to purchase? I was running the latest version of Firefox on Windows 7 Pro. My old computer was running Windows 7 Pro. The new computer I will soon be purchasing will have an i9 processor, and will be running Windows 11. I am currently using a computer at my local library to send this message. So whatever computer information is automatically furnished to you will not pertain to my computer. PLEASE HELP

Hi there, Trouble is never far away from windows 10, as I had (yet again) to reset my whole notebook and Firefox and cannot recover previous bookmarks, nor the side bar. I am absolutely throttled on this as all seems unresponsive. I have found a copy of old firefox but it won´t swallow it. How can I get out of this situation which catches me out everytime. keep it simple

I want to enlarge the font in the menu bar WITHOUT enlarging/zooming all web content - JUST the menu bar. And I want to make the bookmark dropdown list single spaced with no padding. Can't find any solution to these issues.

I'm on two Apple machines, both running Monterey 12.6, a 2014 Intel Mac Mini and a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. Both updated to Firefox 106.0 yesterday. The MacBook Pro seems fine, but the Mac Mini "bookmarks.html" file is not being updated. I noticed this as when I run backups, I have a script that copies the file from my profile into a folder so the backup program can back it up along with other files.

In the profiles location I have a folder named "bookmarkbackups" and a file named "bookmarks.html." Is there a setting that needs to be set/changed so the html file continues to be updated?
