I click on the star to bookmark the Gators Softball twitter, facebook, and fall schedules and nothing at all happens. Usually a box drops down if you want to edit what to call the bookmark. But nothing at all happens now. What is going on? How can I fix this? Help! It used to work, even just last week I bookmarked something I think.

Yesterday, I accessed an old PC I have, not used for some time. Firefox suggested to reset itself as it hadn't been used for some time. I answered "yes". When I opened firefox again in my current PC I saw that several bookmarks had been synced with the old PC bookamarks, so I lost all the recent bookmarks in my new PC. How can I revover them ?

I have tried everything from uninstalling to re-installing firefox also deleting old Files leftover from uninstalling. tried add ons disabled, updated windows. Nothing has helped. The explorer box will not pop up to choose my bookmarks file to restore. Nothing happens. Also the Backup bookmarks function does not work.
I carefully curate my bookmarks, only to have them multiply uncontrollably periodically with multiples of the same bookmark scattered in a very long list.

I use Windows, Mac, and various flavors of Linux. A Firefox account should keep bookmarks the same across platforms, but occasionally-to-frequently the episode described above occurs, and bookmarks fall like a rainstorm in the sidebar, unorganized and in a quantity that is distressing, since now I have to start deleting again, because once it happens in, say, Windows, it gets carried to every instance elsewhere. It's like the ghosts of every bookmark I ever had comes back to haunt in multiples scattered all over the place. Is there a way to glue this stuff down so it doesn't happen again? I'm at a loss.

I am unable to delete bookmarks. Not with the Delete function on any menu, and not by dragging off the Bookmarks Menu list in Library to the sidebar (which used to work). I have used Cookie5 (now disabled), which bloggers say corrupts places.sqlite. I have tried these things: I deleted the places file and restarted. This wiped bookmarks but not their folders. 2. I went to Time Machine and replaced current places file with older ones. Bookmarks returned but still no delete option. 3. I tried to restore bookmarks from backups. All JSON backups must be corrupted, because none will open. And the Export and Backup functions do not work either. 4. I checked Places Database to Verify Integrity. No solution there, but readout is below. 5. I tried to create a new profile, set up an account and tried to sync. No luck. So I copied an older places.sqlite file into the new Profile: the bookmarks were there, but in the new profile the problem of deleting them remained. I am stumped.

I have had lots of problems with my pc and this morning when I was trying to get it started I was offered a "Refresh your Pc"option which I did, My Mozilla Firefox browser seems to have disappeared since then since then and I was offered to open a Firefox account which I did thinking that would get my bookmarks(or Favourites) back but it hasn't. I think this new account does not recognise me. I don't have any bookmarks or favourites on any other browser. Is it possible to retrieve my oroginal Mozilla Firefox account which has got dozens of Bookmarks on it for me ? Thank you.

The Firefox New Bookmark dialog window stopped saving the last used Folder, as any dialog window is supposed to save its last state, long time ago. Then it lost the URL field, the most important field one needs to edit when saving a bookmark. But now, the final straw, it contains a large screenshot of the page to be bookmarked, which is available, anyway, in the browser window, and can't be hidden from about:config. Can anyone please explain what is going on at Firefox?
How can I get rid of the icons that have appeared in the bookmarks toolbar with the latest Firefox update (69.0)?
The question says it all, I think: the unwanted (and visually irritating) icons have nudged several items off my visible toolbar.

I use Firefox on the following devices:
- work pc Widnows 10 (primary device) - iPhone iOS 13 - work laptop Windows 10 - home macbook
bookmarks and other things are set to sync across all devices. however, most times, when i open a device other than my primary pc bookmarks get sync in a very wrong an annoying way: basically they are multiplied several times and spread all over out of their folders n random order. many are duplicated, but is not just the full set of them duplicated, is more a random thing, some will be tri or quadruplicated, including the folders duplicated folders will not have all the same bookmarks inside but a random selection of them. this happens most times i open my iPhone or laptops and each them will have to restore them from my primary pc.
I have once, weeks ago, tired to create a backup file, and then delete all bookmarks from all devices i have then waited a couple of days so to make sure they would all sync with no bookmarks, then i restored the original backup set of bookmarks it worked OK for few days and then started again as before. it is very annoying and if anyone has a suggestion would be much appreciated
thank you

I have a lot of unsorted bookmarks and folders. Is there a way to view them in Windows File Explorer so I can drag and drop them from one folder to another after searching for certain bookmarks? Doing the organizing one at a time, with 2500 bookmarks is just too frustrating!

Win7 64bit. Firefox completed an upgrade to version 68.2.0 and when I clicked on Show all bookmarks the whole layout looks different and most important the description field is missing. This was a problem once before with a different version of Firefox but the ESR version was supposed to keep this. I know I can open the html file which shows this info but that is not nearly as easy to use or convenient as having that info a click away. Is there anyway to revert to a version or get this field to show again? thanks

Firefox is not letting me add any bookmarks, no matter what method I use. I recently installed the Private Bookmarks add-on (addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/webext-private-bookmarks ), there may or may not be a link there.
EDIT: It doesn't even let me change the URL of an existing bookmark if I right-click on it > Properties > [change Location] > Save.
Steps taken so far: 1) Disabled the add-on. 2) Restarted Firefox. 3) Removed the add-on. 4) Dragging the tab to bookmarks toolbar; clicking the star on the address bar; cmd+D; bookmarks > bookmark this page. None work. 5) Deleted some bookmarks (in case there was some sort of limit).
I massively rely on bookmarks so this problem would completely destroy my browser experience. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

As question above states, I updated FF today to latest version, which included 'Monitor'. I am currently running Win7 (64-bit). All my Favorites (about 100 or so) have completely disappeared, as well as the Toolbar. I have been thru 'Recover lost or missing Bookmarks' and other similar sections, to no avail. I have re-installed my Norton Safe Search, but all my toolbar shortcuts have also disappeared. I thought that maybe a Restore Point to a previous time may re-instate my earlier settings, but dismissed this as it won't affect the programs that are currently on my laptop. That is correct isn't it? I am at a loss as to how to retrieve this vital information. If I re-installed to the previous FF version that I upgraded from...would it re-instate my bookmarks/favorites? Can it be done? U state in your 'educated guesses' that my only plug-in is Shockwave Flash...well I also had Badger (privacy), & that is no longer on the PC. It sounds like the upgrade "zapped" everything..,
Please if anyone can help me with my problem it would be much appreciated (I'll name my next puppy after you)...
