Firefox Support Forum

This has happened before. I have not imported any bookmarks into Firefox from other browsers -- it is my default browser and imports all go the other direction (i.e. 'exports'). But I have this folder under the Bookmarks Toolbar called 'Imported from Firefox.' In the first place, I don't really understand why it exists. In the second, I've discovered that suddenly, new bookmarks I create go there instead of to he folders in the main bookmark list, which is incredibly confusing and irritating. I want the thing gone, or AT LEAST for new bookmarks to be posted to the proper locations! There is an incredible amount of duplication between that folder set and the main folder set, and a bunch of really old stuff is being retained. Manually going through that mess would be hours of work. Why is it there, if I don't import bookmarks to Firefox, and how do I get rid of it and point new bookmarks at the proper folder?

I have uninstalled firefox about 4 times and tried everything I was told. I like firefox but not the hundred bookmarks.Will lose a good browser but bookmarks do have to go. this is my last try

Hi all,

I basically have the same question as this one, but I don't understand the chosen solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1257189

When I installed FF on this laptop, I imported successfully my bookmarks, but for some reason for one particular (large) folder, its bookmarks "Description" field was not imported.

I have both the HTML and the json backup bookmarks files. With the HTML file I can copy and paste individual bookmarks and descriptions, but I have probably over 1,000 bookmarks in this folder.

Thank you.

I was having an issue with a website -- went through Firefox process to determine issue. Firefox suggested a refresh. I said yes. Firefox has now deleted all my bookmarks

How to setup and remove favorites on home page. I am going from a Mac to a PC. The online support is of no help since it guilds me to areas of my Foxfire home page that does not show the tasks as discribed.

I recently purchased a new DELL laptop. My bookmarks from the older DELL laptop did not transfer. Instead under OTHER bookmarks I am getting a hodge-podge of GOOGLE CHROME favorites. I still have the older laptop and the bookmarks I am missing are still there, intact. The older laptop cannot support Windows-11. What did I do wrong, and how do I get the the bookmarks over to the new laptop? THANKS MUCH! Best, Pat Reilly

Hi, I had not used bookmarks for some time and when I did...most of my bookmarks are missing and what is there is a mess. What happened and how do I or you fix this?

Through the years (been using FF since its first months) on various computers, various OS and FF versions, I've kept a bunch of bookmarks in my toolbar for frequently used links that I can QUICKLY "right-click, copy link, paste" (3 steps) into social media posts.

Tonight I opened up my bookmark contextual menu, hit copy, pasted it into my Twitter, and it pasted the title instead of the link!!

How useless is that! A title is easy to type out, a long complex url isn't, having a "copy" (title) instead of the "copy link" is entirely useless!

Now to accomplish same, I have go choose "edit" instead of "copy link" and then "click drag" the url then "copy" then "paste" then close the window. 5+ steps instead of 3. Who on Earth thought changing that function was a good idea?! More steps is NEVER a good direction.

Clarification coming from possible answers: Firefox's "Paste" function is working fine, since the url correctly pastes to Mac PAGES and Facebook. It's the paste to Twitter that does "Title" instead of "url". So obviously a Firefox-Twitter problem.

Variation of problem: I tried "Copy" from Firefox Bookmark Subemnu, then went over to Twitter on Chrome, and the "Paste" to Twitter on Chrome also results in a paste of Title instead of url. I tried "Copy" from Chrome Bookmark Submenu, then paste into Twitter on Chrome, and the "Paste" correctly pastes the url. This points to a mis-programming of the Firefox "Copy" function in the bookmark submenu.

My list of sorted bookmarks is extensive with many folders and subcategories etc.

I'm able to open all the tabs in the 'Library' but don't really see a way to print to PDF this list. Is it possible to get a list of bookmarks and all the files in each folder?

PS. Using Windows 10

Firefox 112.0 changed the look of the Icon for bookmarks, in the previous version it just looked like a traditional folder, now it's a goofy looking three box like affair. Is there anyway to change it back to the previous versions look as the new one is very difficult to see.

Thank you

My bookmarks in Firefox are there, but when I type in the name of the site I have bookmarked, they do not go to that site. Same with the tags for bookmarked sites. The bookmarks are there, but when I type in the address bar, they do not come up.

Hello I use Windows 10 and Firefox for web browsing. My drop down bookmark menu has disappeared and I fear that all my bookmarks are lost. Is the latest upgrade is a redesign? Please can you tell me how to retrieve my bookmarks. Many thanks Helen Humphreys

I'm trying to open all the bookmarks in a specific folder in a new window but the only option available is to open in tabs in the same window. Is there a way to add "open all in new window"

I created an account so I could save my 100’s of bookmarks before my computer went into repair and would get wiped. I signed into my Firefox on another device - no bookmarks!!!!!. Can someone from Firefox help?

hola consulta, tengo varias series "agendadas" en los marcadores de FF, cuando se actualiza un capitulo, yo arrastraba la url a la barra de marcadores y quedaba con este formato aRGENTeaM . ted Lasso (2020) [S03E01] ahora queda con este formato https://argenteam.net/episode/145695/Te ... 3E05-Signs, probe en edge, y lo guarda bien, inicie con los complementps desactivados y lo sigue guardando la url nop el nombre del marcador

It is unimaginably bad that this has been an issue for over 5 years now.

Seeing your entire history and all your bookmarks easily is the BARE MINIMUM you can expect from a browser.

Yet these functions on firefox are STILL barely passable.

Please fix asap. It's no wonder so many people use chrome.

How to open all sub folders simultaneously in Library to see all my content.

On the left side of the 'Library' is the list of folders with sub folders in them. These show up great on the left....BUT...I would like to open all the sub folders on the right to view the contents as one long list.

In the picture attached is folder '3 - English' on the left.

 -The nested folders 'Idioms' 'Punctuation' 'Grammar'...etc., in the right side are not opened.

How can I have these open on the right to show all their content also?
