Firefox for iOS Support Forum

I recently got a new phone, and was trying to put all of my bookmarks onto my new phone from the old one. I had not previously synced my laptop and phone, and thought that if I synced the two, the book marks from both the phone and the laptop would be available on both devices, and I could then sync them to the new phone and remove the old. Now that I’ve done it, my laptop displays the same bookmarks as before, with no new ones, and my phone bookmarks are completely blank. Did I seriously just lose all of my bookmarks? Is there any way to get them back?

Safari on an iPhone has the ability add a bookmark to the iphone home screen which makes organizing and getting to the desired bookmark easy. I would like to use Firefox instead of Safari but it doesn't appear that Firefox on iOS on an iphone has the ability to add a bookmark to the iPhone home screen. Is that correct? Or am I not doing something correctly.

Hi!

We use Firefox, on iPhones and iPads (and on our iMac, but this is not so much of a problem on the big computer).

You know on the home page, where you have your pinned shortcuts, and each one has its own little icon (which, I believe, is usually supplied by the individual websites?) showing a logo for the website in question. Makes it easy to find the shortcut you want, at a glance.

Well, for more than a year, we’ve been having an annoying little issue:

All these logos get mixed up! Or sometimes, random, generic looking squares appear, with a single letter that has nothing to do with the website in question.

I might see my favorite aviation blog’s icon, on the spot for townhall! And the familiar townhall icon appears over the link for Bible Gateway! And further on down the line, the shortcut for NOAA weather just has a pastel pink square with the letter W in it.

Inexplicable!

It’s not a terrible problem - my shortcuts are all still there, in the same order in which I pinned them. However, one has to hunt through these mixed-up logos to find them!

I would appreciate any help that can be given! Thanks!

I recently downloaded Firefox browser version 118 I need to know how to import my bookmarks and favorites from Safari browser. I looked it up and the only instruction you have is for version 113 and it seems not to apply to version 118.

Why is there no bookmarks toolbar for Firefox IOS? This makes the program useless to me. Is there any way to create and see bookmarks? None of the answers in the forums are of any help. What you tell me I should see I don’t see.

I’ve used Firefox for years because I support non-corporate efforts like this, but the lack of quick access to create and use bookmarks is a deal-breaker for me.

When clicking on the bookmarks icon, my ipad takes me to a screen where one of the tabs is Bookmarks, and Edit at the bottom right. However, my bookmarks are not there and they are not in menu toolbars or unsorted either. Where are they on my ipad?

A virus warning kept appearing on my Firefox browser so I deleted the app and redownloaded it. I lost all my bookmarks and I know you have to have them somewhere please help

I hope there will be an update in which we get bookmarks on the top for ipad. just like on pc. it's definitely possible cause there is enough screen real estate. or make two bars or 3 on ios. I hope this is a feature that will be picked up and implemented one day. I fully switched to Firefox. Cause now it connects every search result to desktop. Also I like that it isn't chromium based

I am frustrated by the bookmark feature on the mobile app and am coming here to ask if I am missing something. My firefox account is synced across three devices (two desktop, one mobile). I want all of my bookmarks in one place, regardless of what device I save them on.

When I save a bookmark on mobile, it goes to Mobile Bookmarks — which, for me, is not where I want them to go. I then have trouble moving the bookmark. I can select the multi-step DESKTOP path but often the SAVE button does not appear and therefore I can not save it. If I keep closing and reopening, the save button sometimes appears. The attached two images shows: 1). landing spot for saved bookmarks on mobile 2) the lack of the "save" button to successfully move said bookmark.

Also, is it possible to make a mobile shortcut to all of my synced desktop bookmarks? Currently, the path is tedious to access. It involves: Hamburger button => Bookmarks => Desktop Bookmarks => these trio of options: Unsorted Bookmarks (unnecessary), Bookmarks Toolbar (the only one I want), Bookmarks Menu (unnecessary). I would like to go directly to the Bookmarks Toolbar from my mobile homepage. And if possible remove the cluttered/redundant options (re: Unsorted Bookmarks, Bookmarks Menu).

Thanks for reading.

Good afternoon. Recently, bookmarks added via iPad have been added to the "mobile bookmarks" folder. Previously, when adding a bookmark, I clicked on the "Edit" button, chose the path - now the button for applying the new path has disappeared there. When viewing the list of bookmark folders on the ipad, the "mobile bookmarks" folder does not show at all (only when viewed from a computer).

Screen - there is no "apply" button.

I have taken two screenshots describing what I mean. Usually, you see a edit/save tab when you click bookmarks to either bookmark a page or edit the location of an existing one.

This has been happening for a while. And I have kept my device and all apps updated to latest available.

For this post, I tried to bookmark a page. Then tried to edit it’s location to “Lending” for instance. In both screenshots you can see there’s that edit/save button missing.

Because of this i am unable to edit my bookmarks’ location.

When I go to save a bookmark, the “done” or “save” button is missing. I can’t get bookmarks to save because I can’t complete the selection process. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this?

Hi,

When using the Edit bookmark feature I can no longer see the button that allows me to actually save changes. I took a screenshot of the edit bookmark window and have attached. As you can see while the window pops up, it no longer contains any buttons to make the edit changes. As a result I can neither edit, or add new bookmarks any longer

Thanks,

Hi there,

since almost a week I got the problem, that I can't see the bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar or edit them. The space, where they should appear is still there, just the icons are not. When I use the menu "Bookmarks" I still can see and use them.

I use a mac mini M1 of 2020, mac OS 13.2.1 (22D68) and the Firefox version 111.0.1 (64-bit).
