Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have a beautiful Galaxy S7 tablet and I like to use Firefox on all of my systems: Linux server and laptop, Windows PC and my tablet.

On all but my tablet I have my bookmaks in a handy sidebar on the left of the screen. For the life of me, I cannot find a way to arrange a sidebar on my tablet!!!

I can't find "More Tools" either. Nor can I get the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help" menu at the top. Can you help?

Thanks,

Carl

There are only available sort "A-Z", 'Z-A', -"newest" and "oldest"

This is very inconvenient, because all of those are inconsistent with desktop Firefox, where manually sorted.

Please add possibility to apply sorting, same as on desktop.

Hi,

My bookmarks in Firefox Android are not sorted as they are with my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows. The problem started about 4 to 8 weeks ago.

What needs to happen to have Firefox Android sort my bookmarks the same way as my Firefox Linux and Firefox Windows, please?

Thanks, Stephen

I have folders on my computer in tabs e.g. a1, a2, a3 .... a7. And on the android it displays in the first place the last used folder e.g. a4. Similarly e.g. in folder a3 I have bookmarks and folders e.g. b1, b2, dir1, b3, b4, dir2, b5 .... And on android it shows me in a3 e.g. dir2 (because I opened something from it) b10 (because I added on my phone recently), then e.g. b6 because I opened it. Why can't it be like on a computer?

I have thousands of bookmarks. What the hell is wrong with allowing sorting by

(1) date create, (2) date changed (3) AND by name?

I always sort by name. File folders, bookmarks.

By creation date on pixtures.

This is a no brainer. Your bookmarks are not usable. Especially if i dont recall the name. The synced folder names get me to the right subject, scanning the folder contents reviels the targetted link.

Common children, do it right or dont do it.

Hello.

This most recent update of the Firefox app for Android has suddenly made it so that all of my bookmarks and bookmark folders are out of order. The desktop version does not have this same problem, and syncing between the desktop and mobile accounts does not seem to fix anything.

Another issue I noticed with regards to bookmarks on mobile is that where once I could pull down while in the bookmarks tab to 'refresh' the sync, this feature suddenly does not work either.

I have done 4 total clean re-installs of the app and signed back into my account each time. The app then works as normal, with no bookmarks/sync/refresh issues. Within the next day, however, the app restarts itself and the bookmarks are scrambled again with no sync refresh operating.

I have tooled around the support forums and seen that at least since Ver. 133 other people have had this same issue. The support forums are really not user intuitive and I do not know where to go to have an actual conversation with the developers instead of hoping someone responds to a thread if they feel like it.

I really enjoy using Firefox as my default browser, and have never had this issue before on mobile after any app update until now. If the developers could please take the time to look into this request and work out a solution that doesn't include re-installing the mobile app every other day, I and many others would be very appreciative.

I have firefox on a Windows 10 laptop plus two android phones and two android tablets. The Bookmarks on the laptop, both tablets and one phone are shown in alphabetic order. The Bookmarks on one phone are in random order. How can I make these Bookmarks list in alphabetic order? I have read that I cannot simply reorder the bookmarks, so I probably need to delete the bookmarks, ON THIS PHONE ONLY and definitely not on my other devices. Then would "Sync” import the Bookmarks from "the cloud"? Or would "Sync" export the now-empty "Bookmarks" folder from this phone to the cloud?

Initially the bookmarks on Android started appearing in apparently random order after every quit/restart. I signed out of Laptop and Android, then signed in again and set up syncing again on both, but now the bookmarks on my Laptop no longer appear on Android at all, even after syncing.

I arrange my bookmarks in a folder structure by type, making it relatively simple to find the bookmark I need. This is normally in bookmarks/desktop bookmarks. But Firefox on my android 14 tablet and phone, no longer has the desktop bookmarks option. I am signed in to my account, and I have synced my account across all my devices. How do I get the desktop bookmarks option back again?
