Firefox Support Forum

Hi support team,

I have met this issue twice. Before I retired my old PC, I did click the "sync now". However, when I login in Firefox in my new PC, I found the bookmarks are very very out of date. Because my old PC was formatted, I lost my latest bookmarks in Firefox.

Could you help with this?

Firefox (10.0002 64-bit) is bookmarking every single page I visit, making the bookmarking function useless to me. I just noticed this problem recently. Someone posted a similar question in 2016:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1077320

He seemed to think the problem was related to an app -- but someone else posted to that question and they did not have any new apps. Nor do I. I haven't knowingly installed any apps to Firefox in the last year.

Can someone please tell me how to stop the bookmarking function from booking pages automatically without my input?

Thanks.

Hi all,

First, I apologize if this is a duplicate topic. In the association I work in, I got a colleague of mine that has the same issue as me. We work as IT technicians in different social establishments and we've been recently informed by few users that when they launch FF, all their customization is gone (bookmarks, passwords...), as if FF launches a new profile. We've noticed that it seems to be occuring with one of the latest FF version or even the latest one. We've tried by taking back the datas from the old profile folder and copying it in the new one. On my end, it worked with a user, but on my colleague's end it seems not cause even by copying the datas, FF has reproduced the same behaviour.

Could you help with that ?

Thanks a lot

The dozens of bookmarks I had that I did not put in folders has grown in numbers exponentially. I don't know how. I had nothing to do with it. I went from having about 200 bookmarks (outside of what I had in separate folders) to what seems to be roughly 5000. This is ridiculous. How can I 1, correct this, and 2, stop if from happening again.

Today, 6/10/22, I did what we sheep are trained to do, click on the latest update. What happened next is excruciatingly painful: EVERY SINGLE--ALL--FAVORITES AND SAVED PAGES--YEARS, YEARS WORTH OF SAVED PAGES AND FAVORITES, ERASED, GONE, WIPED OUT.

WHAT IS GOING ON? WAS THIS INTENTIONALLY PROGRAMMED? YEARS WORTH OF SAVED PAGES, GONE!!!

So I clicked on an excitingly named "restore" type link. Which resulted in only today's subsequent web activity being included.

What are you people doing?

Hello there,

I have a new computer and I signed in using my Firefox account in order to import my bookmarks. They did not all show up so I added bookmarks as I went along. The problem is that my bookmarks name are correct but when I click on them, it takes me to a different website, and not necessarily one I have saved. Under ma bank's bookmark for example, when I click on it, it takes me to a Government page that I visited a few days ago (but did not save as a bookmark). I have already reset the names for all by bookmarks, but this problem keeps occurring. If anyone could help me sort this out, I would be grateful. Thanks and regards K

I downloaded version 101.0.1 and lost most of my bookmark TAGS! These help me find things in my many bookmarks. I've kept version 98.0.1 in my Applications folder (MAC Mojave 10.14.6) and it still has all my TAGS intact. I can't copy / paste or drag and drop them. How can I transfer my bookmarks TAGS?

Why anyone would want import bookmarks and other bookmarks on the toolbar totally eludes me, given both live in the menu area. Can this be fixed in future updates PLEASE.

I have three problems. One is, as my title, I have to do Ctrl D two times to have "Edit Bookmark". The second is, frequently, the link that I open in another tab reaches nothing. Sometimes, reenter it in the tab (and press Enter) works, sometimes not. Sometimes, enter it in another tab works, sometimes not. When it works in another tab, the link appears in the first tab also. The third annoying thing is not necessarily related to you. Sometimes, when I try to open a Youtube link in another tab with the middle mouse button, the tab don't open.

I updated the operative system on my laptop but, when I opened Firefox and signed into my profile, it didn't import my old bookmarks, only the browsing history. Passwords and other data are all there, only the bookmarks are gone.

Is there a way to get them back?

The bookmarks menu sidebar disappears shortly after opening Firefox on its own after update to 108.0.1 and needs to be re-opened manually, why is this and is there a solution?

So why can't Firefox make their bookmark system more simple? I can spend 10 minutes looking for a bookmark that I KNOW I have & end up just googling for the site.
