What is the fix for solving the issue of having to scroll back down through the same bookmarks in a folder, instead of the folder holding its place from where you were working? This is ridiculous.

Like the title states - now have to scroll back down through all the bookmarks in a folder because it no longer holds its place. This is a great time waster.

Thought I would try to save some time by opening bookmarks in new tabs, but it then switches to the new tab immediately and I still have to scroll back through the same folder to open the next bookmark.

Is there a fix for this issue?

Have to keep scrolling bookmarks folders from the top instead of being able to pick up where I left off LIKE IT USED TO BE.

Also, instead of being able to right click and open bookmarks in new tabs to try and speed things up, it immediately switches to the new tab, which means having to scroll from the top of the folder AGAIN anyway. And yes, I'm well aware of the "switch to it immediately" option in the settings menu, and that box is UNCHECKED in my settings.

I'm not the only one complaining about this time waster, yet no replies from support on any of the threads.

The bookmarks scrolling issue since the last update remains, and there has been zero response from support regarding it, no matter who's asked about it.

How about this - when is the next FF update expected? I'm sick and tired of wasting time using a browser that only lets you open one bookmark at a time, and expects you to scroll down through all of them each time you need to access a different one since it no longer holds its place like it did before the last update. And I'm sick and tired of wasting time reporting an issue to "support" only for it to be ignored.

For the first time this morning I discovered the following issue: I have a big list of sweepstakes bookmarks with a bookmark folder hierarchy, and Firefox does not remember the last view position of the bookmark side panel scroll bar. As a result, I have to scroll down and manually search the position myself. I expect Firefox to display everything as it was at the time it was last closed. Your help will be extremely appreciated. Microsoft Edge has been wanting me to make the switch, but besides the learning curve, I've been using Firefox for a number of years now, and would like to continue doing so. By the way, I believe the latest Mozilla Firefox update may have been the cause.

The latest update has caused my bookmarks to always return to the top of the list instead of staying where I left off. I loose my place when checking a series of sites consecutively. I have to scroll down each time I want to use a bookmark. Highly annoying.

Hi Since the latest update of Firefox, if I am clicking on a bookmark at the bottom of my bookmarks list, when I then access the bookmarks list again the bookmarks list always returns to the top, so I have to scroll down again to the bottom, as my bookmarks list is quite long. It never did this before and would always remain at the same point in the bookmarks list when I opened them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I browse many websites daily. I liked that Firefox would keep my progress when looking thru my bookmarks. After a update my bookmarks when open are back at the start or top of my bookmarks. So I have to scroll down every time to find where I left off. Is there a setting I need to set so the menu stays on the selected bookmarks or does not revert back to the top.

V/R

Starting today, for some reason when I access my bookmarks, I have to start from the very top of all my lists of bookmarks. In the past when I accessed a bookmark, and then a clicked on the bookmark tab to access ANOTHER bookmark, my bookmark list would show where I had left off from the previous bookmark within that list. Now when I access a another bookmark after I had accessed a previous bookmark, my bookmark list starts from the very top of it instead of where I was previously within that bookmark list. Being I have many bookmarks, it is a real pain to have to constantly scroll down from the top of my bookmark list every time to access another bookmark. This peculiar situation just started today. In the past this would NOT happen when I accessed my bookmarks. Can someone please explain and help me? Thank you.

Bookmarks & Daily Links reset issues...

Has anyone noticed that the Bookmark's / Daily Links 'pointer' gets reset to top of the list after selecting a bookmark?

Seeing this issue on a PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I.e. (Example only) Say a user has 100 bookmarks on main toolbar [many bookmarks saved under Daily Links or under the ">>" icon] ...and user chooses any stored link/bookmark, say for example, ...approximately link/bookmark #50; that tab opens okay. After doing so, maybe user chooses to open another link in same listing nearby-say #51 bookmark in a new tab browser window (multitasking etc.), ...often now, user gets put to top of said list, to bookmark#1 (especially after ) selecting a saved bookmark by clicking on either the ">>" icon or selecting "Daily Links".

In my experience with Firefox, this action never reverted back to top of either list prior to latest 110.0 update (64bit). I haven't tried issue to see if repeated on Windows 10 or higher yet. Appreciate any insight or bug solution to this scrolling issue using bookmark toolbars.

Why are bookmark folders resetting to the top each time they're used? Instead of the folder holding it's place, it now goes back to the top of the folder. So if I used a bookmark that was midway down a folder, and I want to use the bookmark directly below it next, I have to scroll down the folder back to it, instead of the folder holding its place. Why? And how can I make it stop? Thanks.

Firefox Bookmarks On-Screen List

Firefox 110.0 (64-bit) (recent update from Firefox 109.0.1) Dell XPS desktop computer -NO CHANGE- Windows 8.1 -NO CHANGE- Other hardware and software -NO CHANGE- … (read more)

  • Firefox 110.0 (64-bit) (recent update from Firefox 109.0.1)
  • Dell XPS desktop computer -NO CHANGE-
  • Windows 8.1 -NO CHANGE-
  • Other hardware and software -NO CHANGE-

From the Menu Bar, clicking the "Bookmarks" tab causes Firefox to list my bookmark folders and individual bookmarks along the left side of my screen. -NO CHANGE-

My list of saved bookmarks is large, and extends below the PC screen. I must therefore initially scroll to the bookmark I am interested in. I group bookmarks and frequently want to go to grouped bookmarks, one after the other. -NO CHANGE-

In previous Firefox versions (say 109.0.1), when I first scrolled down and selected a bookmark and went to that website, the NEXT time I clicked on the Bookmarks tab, the list would be at the last bookmark selected. (See Figure 1.) -PREVIOUS BEHAVIOR-

Now, with Firefox 110.0, the list of bookmarks always starts at the top (see Figure 2), meaning I have to manually scroll all the way down to the bookmark(s) I am interested in every time. -CHANGE-

This is inconvenient and annoying.

Is there a setting to control this behavior? If not, I am going to remove Firefox 110.0 and re-install 109.0.1 (if possible). (Please do NOT tell me this is the fault of using Windows 8.1. That excuse would be unacceptable.)

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on a new, blank m.2 drive (my computer didn't have a TPM until I added it) and my intent was to be able to access the Windows 7 OS as needed (old apps). I haven't been able to boot back to Win7 since the upgrade. I need the bookmarks from the old install. I can access the old drive. I did not export the bookmarks recently in the old OS. Is there a way to move the bookmarks to the new OS? Firefox was recently upgraded on Win7.

Dear Firefox Support,

I am writing to report an issue that I encountered while attempting to recover my bookmarks in Firefox. After reinstalling Windows, I installed Firefox on my new system and attempted to retrieve my saved pages. While browsing through the settings, I discovered a backup recovery button in the bookmarks section and assumed it would restore my previous session in Firefox. Unfortunately, this action deleted all my saved bookmarks and set them to the default settings.

I am extremely disappointed and upset about losing all of my bookmarks, and I am hoping that you can assist me in recovering them. Additionally, I have been unable to locate any method of restoring my saved pages, and I would appreciate your advice on this matter as well.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to retrieve my lost bookmarks and recover my saved pages. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Pavlo
