However, I want to change this to the Bookmarks Toolbar. How can I do that?

Don't know if anyone will answer this question correctly? And when it comes to time, I have very little of it. I work my butt off to be sitting here wasting time on finding simple info. So the real question i have is, Where is the bookmarks folder located on my Desktop PC? I have Windows 7 Pro and I am using Mozilla Firefox 34.0.5 I am fed up with Internet Explorer, however I do like the way Internet Explorer stores my favorites on my Desktop PC. I gave a direct description to what i want to know and i expect a direct answer, not some long drawn out run me here and there answer. Like all support communities, everyone thinks everyone asking a question has time to spend days, weeks, months looking for a simple answer to a simple question. Like day and night is there such a folder for Firefox, like there is for Internet Explorer, saved to a PC. Thank You For Your Time And Info.

I have a load of unsorted bookmarks which I wish to move to the various bookmark folders. In earlier versions of Firefox there was the provision to right click on the bookmark which then generated a screen with the options of editing the bookmark name and the provision to 'move' bookmark to selected folder. How does one go about this in the latest version of Firefox. or am missing the obvious

I need to be sure I do not lose the items and groupings on my Bookmarks TOOLBAR
- NOT my bookmarks
I know how to back up my bookmarks. HOW do I back up my Bookmarks TOOLBAR so I can recover just that - the Toolbar?
I don't see any way or any individual file that contains this organized data so I can use it
to restore or migrate the toolbar
Not the whole Profile. I have FEBE - but that doesn't seem to do what I am looking for.
How do I manually add an RSS feed?
I remember live bookmarks can add them by presenting an icon, but what if all I can get is the feed url?

Hi, is it possible to know how to properly restore a bookmarks session via jsonlz4 file? Firefox lost all of my bookmarks and when trying to restore them using the recovery session with the last jsonlz4 file the process simply does not end, starts but after couple hours is still running, with continuos warnings of scripts busy, or stopped responding. Is there a way to do it properly? Or a tool to convert the compressed jsonlz4 to json, maybe html. Thank you.

When I open a video from a website or Youtube, it will not continue to play unless I keep moving the mouse. I use a wireless mouse. Same problem occurs for downloads. If I don't move the mouse the downloads freezes. This is only happening on Firefox. I do not have this problem with Internet Explorer. I have tried resetting firefox, doing a complete search and clean with Winzip, trying all the tips on your help page, but nothing works. Can you offer a simple solution? I am not a PC wiz so the simpler the better.
Many thanks John Borgas
edit bookmarks
I'm not allowed to edit bookmarks. Safari and IE let us add or delete bookmarks - shouldn't Firefox let us do the same?

Just updated and all of a sudden I have this obnoxious section in my bookmarks toolbar telling me what I recently bookmarked and an unnecessary folder titled "Other Bookmarks" which I can't delete.

Hi,
I have recently added some bookmarks to my toolbar and I was wondering if and how I can add a little picture or icon next to the Name of the bookmark (like the little horse or whatever it is next to the "getting Started" bookmark)
Sorry this is probably really straight forward and my 5 year old son could would be able to work it out but I am however, technologically challenged.
Thank you for you for your valued time. Looking forward to hearing from you

Which folder does Firefox store Bookmarks & history? I need to find it so that I can use Time Machine to restore my deleted browsing history.

This question was asked .. And SOLVED for the person asking it .. but, not in a way that was understandable to me. So, I'm just asking for some details which could be followed as a tutorial.
This was the final comment from rjf380 on 9/19/17:
"So, between these posts, and a visit to Apple's Genius Bar, I found a solution. (1) Access the Firefox profile folder as described above and click to have it open in Finder. (2) Close Firefox application. (3) While having the Firefox profile folder open in Finder, open Time Machine from the menu bar at the top of the Mac screen. (4) The Finder folder will then be displayed for all previous updates. Select the most recent update (or the update that would contain your browsing history), select the profile folder, and then click restore. (5) Exit Time Machine.
My Firefox browsing history is fully restored."
This is good to know .. there is hope, for I have the same problem.. I had to delete Firefox after using it from the beginning .. For some reason the selection of my preferred search engine (Google) always came up with "Yahoo" .. no matter how I configured preferences .. I assumed there was a Yahoo virus in the system.. :-) .. so, I deleted Firefox .. then realized I had 20 years of bookmarks I really didn't want to delete. I've donated to Firefox several times and my wife has a $5/month auto donation that's still active... So, I'm determined to restore it .. with a working Google search engine and prior Bookmarks & History.
From rjf380's pionts for solution:
1) Which Firefox "Profile folder" ? ... places.sqlite or about:profiles ?? (I don't see how to make a word in BOLD text)
Also .. nothing was said about Bookmarks .. or the bookmarks bar ...
Thanks much for more specifics.. Regards, michael

I updated to Firefox 35.0 and after I did so, I noticed that Firefox became slow and laggy, crashing more than usual. I refreshed Firefox and noticed that it had gone back to a much older setting with most of my saved passwords missing and having to re-enter them all. Now I've noticed that all my bookmarks have disappeared too! I need to get these back :( I have a folder on my desktop called Old Firefox Data that was created yesterday when I did the Refresh. It has a sub-folder called Bookmarks within if this could work, that would be great. I've also seen this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles - but not being very tech-savvy, it has only served to confuse me more.
Could anyone please help me by way of bullet points exactly what I need to do to restore my browser either to the setting before the Refresh yesterday (spent better part of today clicking 'Forgotten Password' on various sites!), or failing that at least reinstate all of my bookmarks.
Thank you all very much!

I have installed SQLite Manager 0.8.1
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
Go to File Explorer / Show Hidden items (so you can see App Data, next)
Put a copy of places.sqlite in C:\temp (work from a copy)
C: \ Users \ Username \ App Data \ Roaming \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles \ long string \ places.sqlite
Go to the FF drop down menu in the top left / Web Developer / SQLite Manager
. . . it opens the program in a new window
Within the program, go to:
Database / Connect Database / C:/temp/places.sqlite
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You will see many Tables. The two pertinent ones I think are:
moz_bookmarks / Browse & Search tab
all the new bookmark Titles are in here at the bottom, even ones not in the Unsorted folder, but the URLs are not here!
the Titles appear to be added in sequential order, according to the id
moz_places / Browse & Search tab
all the new bookmark Titles, and URLs, are in here, they are not readily identifiable, you have to use Ctrl+F
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To export the tables:
right-click on the table / Export Table /
CSV tab / [check] First row contains column names
Comma, Double quotes, Save CSV Export Settings
Ok / Save it to desktop as a CSV
Open the CSV, and then save it as an xlsx
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Question: How can I get my Title and URLs?
There are over 17,000 rows in moz_places.
I would be putting all new bookmark in Unsorted though, so the question is, how do you identify them?
This seems possible.
Alternatively, if I could add the URL column to moz_bookmarks, then I could just export that. I would work from a copy . . . but it doesn't look like SQLite Manager will let me do this.

I have also installed: SQLite Database Browser, Version 2.0b1

I try to open places.sqlite with it, and nothing happens. Any idea why? Thx.

I had my bookmarks toolbar enabled (View - Toolbars - Bookmarks Toolbar). Yesterday, the toolbar disappeared. On the View-Toolbars menu, Bookmarks Toolbar was still selected. I unselected it and the toolbar appeared. Although now, Bookmarks Toolbar on the menu was unselected. Next time I started Firefox, the toolbar was gone again. I selected it from the menu and it reappeared. But next time I started it, it was gone again and Bookmarks Toolbar on the menu was showing as selected.
How do I fix this?

When I 'show' my toolbar, its space appears but no bookmarks show. I have to use the side toolbar which, for me, can be quite difficult; I have a lot of bookmarks. I have been through the help area and through the community help as well. No one seems to share my problem; their problems all seem to be it not showing at all or a bookmarks sync problems Mine just doesn't show anything on the toolbar itself - whether it's on show or not.

For over a year now, I have created html files of my bookmarks in Firefox from my main PC and then copied them to my laptop version of Firefox. I thought that would just rewrite the old bookmarks, but I see now it just adds to the old bookmarks. I've tried deleting the old bookmarks one at a time but that takes forever and it will not delete large collections of bookmarks in the old bookmark menus.
How do I delete most or all of my old bookmarks (now hundreds) on my laptop, so I can add the new bookmarks from my main PC?
