I had to rebuild my Windows 10 laptop from scratch. I downloaded and installed Firefox, and I can browse and download, but my bookmarks aren't available--some other app is using a Firefox file. I've rebooted several times and even shut down and restarted from square one, and I still get the error message. I've tried to look at the troubleshooting data, but none of it is filled in--only the headings appear. I can't even restore from an HTML backup. How do I get the bookmarks back?

This button was one of my favorite things about the Firefox internal PDF viewer. It allowed me to quickly save a bookmark of where I am in a .pdf file. I went back and figured out this seems to have been removed in v106.0 when they added an edit feature.

Is there anywhere else in the application to save the bookmark to your exact location in a .pdf file?

Or is there a way to return this button to the application?

I attached a screenshot of the button.

When I try to bookmark a page, I expect to see "Bookmark current tab" and when I click that, to be offered 1) to put it in the same place that the last bookmarked page was put 2) or, alternatively, to be given a choice of locations.

This is what happens on one of my two laptops.

On the other laptop, I am not offered a choice of locations. I am simply forced to bookmark the new page in the location where the previous bookmark that I made is, and I then have to go to "Edit This Bookmark" and move the new bookmark from the location where it currently sits, to the location that I want. This is clunky and inconvenient.

How can I configure this second laptop to behave like the other laptop?

I recently migrated from Chrome to Firefox on my Mac and successfully imported all data, bookmarks etc. However I cannot figure out how to ADD a new bookmark to an existing folder. Every page I read about bookmarking fails to show how this is done. In Chrome its simple since the drop down menu allows the user to view every folder, but in Firefox I don't see how to do this. Furthermore, when I go to Bookmarks>Manage bookmarks I don't see any of my folders..PLEASE show me an EASY way to do this. Thank you

Hi - Here's my problem. I have a folder in my bookmarks titled Current Bookmarks. It contains both subfolders and bookmarks.

When I go to Manage Bookmarks, select that folder, and use the Views/Sort/Sort by Name.A-Z sort order, the subfolders aren't shown in alpha order. Any new subfolders I create end up at the bottom, listed after the page bookmarks.

Is there any way to get all the subfolders to sort properly?

Thanks for your help!

I have all my bookmarks that I use all the time and once I click on them that web site works just fine. I have two more web sites that are bookmarked and every time i want to log on to them it comes back "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.kingsoopers.com/" on this server. Reference #18.9cfe19b8.1688244058.3e96aa41". Can anyone tell me what is going on and why do I have this problem with just two bookmarked web sites when all the others work fine.\?

ALL of my bookmarks are gone. I am a musician and I store all of my songs in bookmarks. I use a website to create music (beepbox.co/modifications of beepbox), which is why i can only save them in links. So, I obviously use the bookmark feature. This becomes a problem when, for apparently no reason at all, all of my bookmarks disappeared. 4+ years of my music being saved to Firefox is gone. How can I recover them? Please. I've tried resetting Firefox, looking in my mac for files that could lead anywhere- All leading to nothing. The only hope I have is if someone that somehow has access to many bookmarks inside Firefox could find them, and restore them to my profile.

I don't want to lose it all.
