Firefox Support Forum

Hi, Hope you well. My previous laptop was stolen and I'm trying install now all my saved bookmarks. I had no problem to get them back on Chrom after looging to my Account. But I can't get back my old bookmarks on Mozilla. I see only the one which was saved on Chrome. Can you please help restore all my bookmarks before today day? I'll be really gratefull for help. Regards, Renata

When I access bookmarks using the manager/editor I see all bookmarks. However when I try to use bookmarks from the dropdown in the toolbar, I only see some bookmarks. I think it's the newer bookmarks that are missing but not certain.

How can I clear my recent bookmarks? If I try to delete any, it deletes altogether from it's bookmark folder. I understand that it was set up for convenience, but it sacrifices privacy. I don't want my private bookmarks showing up when I go to bookmarks under the 3 line menu. I have seen this question posted over and over, but none of the solutions work for me. Very upsetting. Firefox has been great EXCEPT for this one issue. It's enough to make me consider moving to another browser. I can't understand why Mozilla thinks this would be helpful. At the very least, make it optional or easy to clear.

Have Firefox on my PC; want to export (which I understand how to do) to the desktop of a second PC, and then import them from there.

When I attempt to import from the Desktop HTML file on the second machine, I open the desktop file, the bookmarks do not show up in the toolbar; in Manage Bookmarks I can see that a new toolbar is created for each time I attempt the process.

How to get the bookmarks into the Toolbar of Firefox on the second machine?

Thank you / much appreciated.

I have noticed that, when searching for bookmark tags in the Firefox (current) search bar, I often am unable to see all results for a specific tag. I found a partial solution here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1205508

This has enabled me to show (on my screen) a max of 23 results. This is OK, but I've frequently got more than 23 bookmarks tagged with a specific tag. So I can't see them. I need a way to scroll through the search results.

Another way of asking this might be: How can I do a tag search and see all bookmarks so tagged?

Thanks!

<Once I attached screenshots, this page erased everything I had typed previously... please fix>

I seem to have an infinite nesting of bookmarks. No matter how deep into "Other Bookmarks" I go, there is always a duplicate (not sure if identical or not) layer of bookmark folders.

Therefore, I cannot be sure where my webpage links are destined when I bookmark a new webpage.

How do I sort this out so that I only have "All Bookmarks" --> ("Bookmarks Menu" & "Other Bookmarks")?

In other words, I do NOT want "All Bookmarks" --> ("Bookmarks Menu" & ["Other Bookmarks" --> ("Bookmarks Menu" --> ("Other Bookmarks" --> "Bookmarks Menu... )) 'ad nauseum'

If this is my fault, please guide me on how to correct it. If it is a Firefox "undocumented feature," then please consider removing it in the future.

My bookmarks have duplicated and I didn't do anything except try to sync with my laptop and desktop. I tried the only solution I could find, the "verify integrity - Places Database" and that did nothing. If this can't be fixed, it's time to move on to another browser.

I reset my windows 10 installation thinking that it would be similar to a "backup and restore", but it wasnt. I wiped out nearly everything I had installed.

I hope that can learn how to load bookmarks from saved favorites folder.

Any help?

I purchased a new computer, and they were to transfer all my stuff from my old computer, but they told me that my bookmarks are in a file that they cannot open. I would like to be able to get to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

Firefox used to open the bookmarks to the left showing all the bookmarks, ever since that last update not the go right and aren't even the bookmarks I want, how do I change it back

When I open Firefox on my new computer all the bookmarks are showing at the top. I only want my default bookmark toolbar to show. The only solution I could find was to drag it into the toolbar area.

When you add a page to your bookmarks a window appears that asks for a name and which folder you want to save it on. By default it recommends you a folder but there is a button to "un-hide" your full folders list. Is there a way to make this the default? As in, i dont have to click "un-hide" everytime (...because firefox never picks the folder i want)

I imported my bookmarks, but they're not displaying in the bookmarks toolbar. I've tried hiding it and unhiding and restarting the program/my computer. The imported bookmarks can be seen when I go to "recent bookmarks" in the manage your bookmarks section. It also says that they're listed in the bookmarks menu, but they're not visible outside of the manage bookmarks settings window.

I don't want to get the 'Add Bookmark' popup prompt when I right click -> Bookmark Link, I just want it to bookmark the link.

Unchecking 'Show editor when saving' doesn't disable this popup.

I use 'right click -> Bookmark Link' a lot, so would really appreciate a fix, thanks :)
