Firefox Community Forum

Backed up Thunderbird, with no issues, to external hard drive. Attempted same with Firefox but copy did not take place. Upon next boot for Firefox the system flagged "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible" I have appended OLD to the original profile and created a new folder. Firefox now loads and operates. Could you please advise the best way to retrieve my OLD profile.

Many thanks

Is there a way for me to get firefox to save bookmarks to the top of a folder? I'm currently trying to switch over from Opera GX but I've really gotten used to new bookmarks saving to the top of a folder, and with some particularly large folders it's much nicer to have it at the top instead of having to scroll all the way down. I did come across some sorting extensions, but didn't automatically put it at the top. or sorted all my bookmarks by date added. which is also not what i want, because i also manually move things around.

Hi, I have multiple devices using firefox , all these apps have around 500 tabs open in background, they are listed in firefox's tabs from other devices on my pc but I want to save or backup them to the disk on my pc what is the workaround for it ?

Hi! I need some troubleshooting help. Idk what happened, but I think it was a syncing issue in between the two browsers. I just plan on using just Firefox to hopefully prevent this bug in the future.

I originally have bookmark folders on my toolbar, but when I checked, the old folders were gone. Though everything in them was still in my toolbar, so it's a reaaally long "Show more bookmarks" drop down list. But when I check "Manage Bookmarks", the folders are still there. I tried exporting and re-importing the bookmarks but it didn't work. Here are some screenshots attached. Help?

Edit: After checking, it turns out my "manage bookmars" and toolbar are the same. My folders and bookmarks are there, but for some reason the contents are outside the folders. Is there a fix for this and how to prevent it?

I had to re-install Windows and so I downloaded Firefox again and logged in to my account. I had sync turned on with bookmarks enabled but it wasn't syncing my bookmarks to my computer. I double checked that these sync settings were enabled on the Firefox app on my phone and I tried syncing multiple times. It transferred my passwords and other data but not my bookmarks. So I logged out of Firefox on my computer and phone, then logged back in and synced them together only to find that Firefox deleted all my bookmarks from my account completely (now they don't show up on my phone either). I looked at the forums and saw that they make separate profiles that I could access with about:profiles so I opened that and only saw 2 profiles, neither of which have my bookmarks. Is there a way to recover these since Firefox deleted them out of no where?

My windows10 laptop was destroyed, but I was able to retrieve the hard drive with all data in tack. I am currently using a new laptop loaded with Windows 11. I've been trying to find the bookmarks on my old hard drive to copy on a usb to reload on my new laptop with no success. HELP

When I open the Manage Bookmarks --> Import Bookmarks --> Browse I have no listed backups, even though I can see them in File Manager \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\c4i4a2zg.default\bookmarkbackups folder. I have copied the JSON file from my laptop which has not lost them but cannot select a folder/file location to import them, same for doing it via a HTML file.

I am stuck, thinking I may have to uninstall and then reinstall Firefox and then sync again.
