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?

Where are my bookmarks? hundreds of people are asking this and I do not see a useful response.

Fix this issue from your end. Provide a support phone number to call in to fix it. I do all of the suggestions written but it doesn't work. I go thru a 15 minute process trying to log on and sometimes it works and they magically show up and other times, like now. No bookmarks. This is ridiculous. There is no support, you are asking for volunteers to offer support. This seems totally screwed up. Fix it!

Drag and drop tab to bookmarks toolbar not working

When I want to drag and drop a tab into a folder of the bookmark toolbars, I can't do it for some folders.

Specifically, it doesn't work for folders that are somewhat in the area of the tab preview animation that pops up when I start dragging the tab. So that is not the same folders every time, it depends on the tab location in the tab bar.

I hope that the explanation was clear enough, I did a screen record also, made it available here https://ufile.io/pikit6xo (335 kB).

Do someone had a similar issue and found a solution?

I'm in troubleshooting mode. Firefox 100, just updated, but bug was there before. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Lost Bookmark Folders when Adding to Existing Folders

When I try to make a bookmark none of my folders are showing. I can use the folders when linking to a bookmark but not when trying to place a new bookmark. I have many folders but the attached image shows what I get when trying to choose the correct folder to place the bookmark. Only the three options show even though I know all my folders are in the pulldown bookmark tab. I did have a computer glitch where many of my computer files somehow ended up in the trash including Firefox. I moved the trashed files into a new folder on my desktop and was able to recover the bookmarks by choosing the Firefox backup. My question is how do I get the existing folders to once again show when making a bookmark so I can place/organize the bookmark in the correct bookmark file?

For some reason my Bookmark Tool Bar no longer displays anything. It is a blank strip across the top of the screen. However all of my bookmarks can be displayed on the right or left side of the screen in a vertical format. I can not find a way to repopulate the original Bookmark Tool Bar and find the current display very awkward give the number of bookmarks I have on file. Is this a result of an intentional upgrade or software failure?

I have my book marks in a side menu. Recently that side menu disappeared and when I click on the menu to install it again my bookmarks are not there and have been replaced with a bunch of stuff I don't use. How do I get my original book marks back? These bookmarks were for both my business and personal contacts. Leeanne Mackowski lmackowski@speclt.net 817-880-1097

I like to keep shortcuts to my favorite, most often used sites on the New Tab page. One of them, to Yahoo, keeps disappearing, and is replaced by sites that I do not visit very often. How can I recreate a shortcut on my new Tab page to get me to Yahoo Finance?

I uploaded an image of my New Tab page as it currently exists. I used to have Yahoo where the "prime-genetics" shortcut appears. I want to get rid of that one and replace it with Yahoo. Thanks!

I can't get the "Other" bookmarks folder to go away.

I tried right-clicking on the folder & the context menu didn't show up. I tried about:config & changed the value to false. That didn't work.

I closed the browser after changing the boolean value to false & then restarted the browser. That didn't help.

I don't want to mess things up. I can't change the name of the folder. I was hoping that renaming the folder & then deleting it would solve the problem.

How do I hide the "Other" folder & the "Bookmarks Menu" folder?

I have a Mac if that helps any.
