I run the current version of firefox on a Windows 11 Dell Inspiron Laptop. My bookmarks are here, but the tags have disappeared. This has happened once before, and it took several days to restore the tags. Why is this happening? How do I prevent it?

• OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 22H2 (build 19045.6466) • Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) • Thunderbird 140.8.1esr (64-bit)

I guess now a Firefox “update” includes making bookmarks to disappear from the toolbar . . . go figure.

Have mucked around in their “go to about:profiles” routine and have found my bookmark library still exists; however . . .

1. The BOOKMARKS drop-down MANAGE BOOKMARKS shows all is in order, so apparently I don’t need to “import” anything from anywhere; 2. The bookmarks do not appear in the BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR; 3. VIEW drop-down ➜ TOOLBARS ➜ BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR ➜ ALWAYS SHOW is all as it should be; 4. BUT: No bookmarks appear in the TOOLBAR where they’ve resided comfortably for years . . .

SO: how does one magically make them reappear in the TOOLBAR where they belong?

Many thanks. Appreciated.

I am hoping that a permanent fix can be made to the bookmarks toolbar issue where another program may be using a file that allows it to show at the top of my screen. It keeps disappearing and I complete a fix and it disappears later in the week. Thanks Brian

Names of screen parts are not clearly known to everyone. The ribbon along the top with back button, and web address, lacks the symbol to access the pull down menu for bookmarks. A very convenient feature that seems to be lost. Spent a long time trying to find it last year on a different machine. Convoluted process. Now not finding it.

I don't know how to get to my prior question to update it I submitted a support question a short time ago about Firefox manage bookmarks using Waterfox version. I now think I could have been duped by the colour of the window bar. I have also found that firefox manage bookmarks does not show individual bookmarks that are not in folders - in the left pane. This also threw me. However, when I click on Bookmarks menu in left pane, the individual bookmarks are all shown in the RHS pane. I have done a quick check and the list does not contain at least two bookmark folders that are in my Waterfox bookmarks - I did not try to check all. I now think there is no problem. Interested whether anyone else has raised this. MY SUGGESTION - in the past I am confident that manage bookmarks function did not use waterfox color. In the next update try to change the manage bookmarks function window to a color different to Waterfox colors. This may not be possible if waterfox simply inherits the manage bookmarks function code incl colors.

Prior question text pasted here for completeness Yesterday I was using both Firefox and Waterfox. Since then when I try to use manage bookmarks in Firefox - I get the waterfox version of manage bookmarks showing the waterfox bookmarks list. Is there a way to get the firefox manage books back again

Suddenly, i am finding when i get to the end of my bookmarks and scroll up, the bottom most bookmarks show up. And scrolling down, as i reach the last bookmarks, the topmost bookmarks show up.

how do i get rid of this folder (recent bookmarks) and who thought this [edited] was needed?

I had to reset Firefox because of a hack to my FB account. I've recreated all of the icons I use but Gmail won't add since Google doesn't think my desktop is one of my devices. I can receive Gmail if I use Chrome. I've tried reaching Google by leaving messages @ the Freemont office in Seattle but thought maybe Mozilla had an answer. Thanks for listening.

somehow i lost my Youtube in the task/ bookmark tool bar i was trying to add something and it had book mark bar up there i removed it and now i can no longer put you tube in there any more i have tried taking it from bookmark and from desktop and from anywhere i had it saved and tried dragging it up to the mar but i can not what can i do to get it there

Tell me how to stop advertisers from interferring with my rows of bookmarks since many times they take my upper left bookmark location which is the one I use most often. But weird bookmarks are showing up all the time and I continually have to remove them.

I am getting the following error message when using Firefox. The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem. I cannot see my bookmarks or add new ones. I followed the directions in articles about this problem and they did not. help. I decided to uninstall Firefox and l re-installed it from scratch and i still get the same error message.

Whenever you go to close a folder from the bookmark menu in the browser sidebar, having scrolled down due to a long list, the menu will not only close the folder but also make you click whatever was in that mouse position on the menu with the menu closed. This means closing a folder having scrolled down will cause you to potentially click open another folder or bookmark unintentionally. This is not an issue on the old bookmark menu, but using that isn't as convenient as the sidebar is.
