How do I restore the user-friendly, logical, dropdown bookmark menu? I hate (putting it mildly) having to open a sidebar window every time I want a bookmark not on my "immediate access" bookmark bar. If this cannot be done, how do I regress to a version that has it?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using Firefox for years, but my bookmark bar is turning into chaos 😅 Between work, tools, articles, and personal stuff, it’s getting hard to keep track of everything.

I’ve tried folders and naming tricks, but I feel like I’m either clicking too much or forgetting what I saved.

Curious to hear what methods or extensions others here are using to keep bookmarks clean and accessible? Any tips or workflow ideas would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

hi, my bookmark had gone after update. firefox version is 139.0.1 (aarch64 with macos 14.6.1 (23G93). i also cannot make new bookmark. bookmark icon (star) on address bar also not working after update.below attach is screen when i click manage bookmark. your response is appreciated.

I get the "for quick access, place your bookmarks..." where it was my bookmarks just yesterday. The star icon for creating a new one also doesnt work when I click it. Is there a bug going on or something?

Buried in this announcement is the following statement:

"Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily."

Is this a yet to be announce new feature because as far as I can tell the bookmark implementation has not changed in years. However, I would welcome some "enhancements" as the current implementation is quite clunky.

Thoughts, anyone?

I do not want "recently bookmarked" to appear with my Bookmarks. How can I remove it? Right-clicking and changing the "browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked" preference no longer work.

Abandonment of Pocket is pushing me back to use of my Firefox Bookmarks Tree.

After a long period of maintenance on my Firefox Bookmarks Folders within the "Bookmarks Menu" I accidentally moved a folder named "Music" into some other folder. I've checked the folders which contain nested folders which are near to where the "Music" Folder should be but cannot find the "Music" folder.

It seems that Firefox Browser ver. 39.0.1 (aarch64) on my M4 MAX MacBook Pro 16" running macOS Sequoia 15.5 makes it easy to search for and to find a bookmark, but not its location within the folder structure in which the bookmark is located. I need to see that folder location so that I can move the folder "Music" back to the top level within the "Bookmarks Menu."

What facility is provided by Firefox for me to perform this search?

How to remove unlinked labels from bookmark organization ?

Deleting accumulated labels for deleted bookmarks

Good day,

I organize my bookmarks progressively, categorizing them by folders and labels. The labels are stored (libraries - above all the bookmarks) within their respective folder "labels". I deleted some bookmarks a few days ago and noticed that I am unable to delete the labels which have accumulated and been automatically recorded in the "Labels" folder.

How can I delete these numerous labels that are no longer linked to any bookmarks ?

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

hello firefox i never remember to look at my bookmarks would luv/appreciate a tasty UI to organise/navigate bookmark items.

bookmarks on homepage widgets?

please/thank you i think it would be cool.

I'm in a messy situation right now

1. I have two Windows installs with two separate installations of Firefox
2. They are both different versions, one is the latest version and one is an extended support release: "115.23.1esr". I don't think that would really matter, just in case

Let's start. At the time, both installs with my bookmarks were the exact same

On one of my installs of Windows, I organized my bookmarks. I also put existing folders in new folders

And I thought that Firefox would synchronize my bookmarks with my other install. But it didn't happen.... at all! My bookmarks were the exact same as before... and still are!

1. One install is organized but not completely up to date
2. The other isn't organized and I've added a couple new bookmarks to it over time because of this stupid situation

What can I do here? And can I prevent this from happening in the future?

I can't depend on my bookmarks if it's not going to sync at all. It could be a malfunction on my end but I don't know at this point

'Wrote this question from my second install with the 115.23.1esr version'

Hello!

The bookmarks column tree, to the left, has disappeared when I start Firefox. I must press ctrl+B to get it back and do so every time I restarted Windows.

This problem occurred recently. Previously it was visible every time I started Firefox.

Do you know how I can fix it or is it a small bug…

(I use Firefox with Swedish language)

I am using the version 115.20.0esr (64-bit) and have noticed I have links in my bookmarks, that are either from other bookmark folders but I never copied them over, or I have new links that I never clicked to be saved? I have deleted those I found but some more keep popping up?

My bookmarks previously would be displayed on the left of the screen when I start Firefox. For some reason someone thought it would be an improvement to force me to use another click to show my bookmarks. Forcing the user to make more clicks is NEVER a good design choice. There seems to be no setting for getting my bookmarks displayed by default. Now there is just a setting whether or not to show a "sidebar" with a button I must click to show the bookmarks. Bring back my bookmarks please, or add a setting to allow me to get them back.

Thanks.
