I inserted a pic of my problem. I want to save a twitter bookmark in my twitter folder in the toolbar but it comes up with TWO different folders! When I save to one it shows up in the toolbar folder, if I choose the other it does not and I have no idea where it goes. How do I remove the second twitter location?

After downloading the latest version of Firefox, I was unable to import bookmarks from my earlier version. Therefore, I uninstalled the latest version and am using the former.

Since I can see no advantage of switching to the latest version of Firefox, how can I disable the ever present, annoying reminder to do so.

I'm organizing my bookmarks in the Sidebar and have lots of folders and dividers to keep things organized into categories etc. When grabbing a bookmark at the bottom of the list, I start to drag it to the top to get it to a folder in the middle but as soon as I get close to the top the scroll starts and accelerates to a high speed immediately and I scroll all the way to the top. I want to know if there's a way to slow down either the top speed or the acceleration of the scroll, because at this point I cannot finesse it enough to get to where I want.

Thanks, Roger

Having changed for a time to another browser and imported/exported back and forth, I am presently with three bookmark menus, one after another. When a bookmark does not appear, I have to go to manage bookmarks to see in which one it is. Is there a possibility of merging the menus or only by manually checking in one menu and scrolling to the next, etc. and eventually deleting the excess? If the last is the only option, is there any way to get a second display to work from instead of having to scroll back and forth? Thank you for your imput.

I have a Firefox account and I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords. My Windows 10 PC didn't boot up so I had to do a factory reset. After the reset, I logged into Firefox and tried using the Import and Backup tool. There was only one recovery date so I chose that. I clicked on the date and was prompted "This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure?" I click OK and nothing happens. I didn't see my bookmarks and rebooted my computer.

It sounds like this might be two different issues: Bookmarks and Passwords.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I got a new machine, and exported from a windows 10 machine running firefox and got a "bookmarks.html " file that was saved to my desktop. I then used a USB drive to put it on a new LINUX box with firefox running on it. something happened with the "other bookmarks" folder in my bookmarks list. It is empty and I cannot access it. PLUS there is ANOTHER "other bookmark" folder on the bottom of the list that I cannot access or select.

The "other bookmarks" on the bookmarks tab is empty (the one on the top of the list). I can't move a URL to it. There is also another "other bookmarks" on the bottom. which I cannot select and therefore cannot get rid of. And I have a link to some place that I also cannot select (and therefore cannot get rid of).

All the bookmarks in my folders and lists are ok and they work. I think the bookmarks list (which I cannot find in the linux file system) is corrupted. How can I find it, delete it, and then try to import my new "bookmarks.html" again ? Using Linux POP-os ver 22. Most recent release.

There are two different Firefox icons for saved internet pages on my computer. I am running Windows 10. One type opens normally in a new tab. The other causes all my bookmarks and home page personalised settings to be lost. If Firefox is already open, the bad one complains that Firefox is already running. I know how to recover the lost bookmarks and settings. How can I make the bad ones open like good ones? If I try to remotely open a good one resident on my wife's computer, it behaves like a bad one but it opens normally on her computer (Win 10 laptop).

I used to have my Bookmarks toolbar visible. It worked fine until the latest update today. Now it's gone. I've set it to show Bookmarks toolbar. Tried turning it on and off. Doesn't work. Here's a snapshot of it. Just below that last line is a list of my bookmarks on the toolbar. The bookmarks are still there. It's the toolbar that has disappeared.

Hello, Having a little difficulty with which I am hoping someone might assist. My primary PC has died on me, and I am making attempt at transferring my life over to another for temporary use. I have installed Firefox as it was my primary browser on this now-dead PC and logged in to my Firefox account; however the bookmarks in this browser are very old. How might I go about accessing the latest version of all my bookmarks, that were on the now-dead PC (or are they only backed up very infrequently)? Any information is appreciated! Thank you

So I just rebuilt my PC with all new Parts. Basically the only parts I kept were the PSU, and the Case. I installed Windows fresh on a brand new m.2 SSD, everything up and running and installed Firefox.

I have the OLD m.2 SSD set up as a flash drive, that I can plug into a USB port on my new motherboard, which has allowed me to transfer over things like My Docs and My Pics, etc.

Now I need to know what files I need to copy, from where, and to where; to restore my Firefox profile with all my bookmarks, etc.

Can anyone help me with this?
