Firefox for Android Support Forum

On my laptop, all my Bookmarks greyed out. They're there, but clicking on them does nothing. There's no URL for any of them. On my IPhone I pressed sync and on my lsptop Mozilla pressed sync, but no success. How do I get them back? (There's thousands!)😳

Hi there, I recently downgraded Firefox on my Android (5.1.1), as the new versions of the app became to get heavy.

I have logged in with my Account and am now trying to get the bookmarks synced. I have no Desktop right now to pair. The bookmarks and the Account are only available on my iPad, where FF is logged in and has the bookmarks synced.

Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks for any help and regards, Dan

I got a new phone and installed Firefox for Android, and tried to import my bookmarks, but I only have a few of them showing. I have a huge number of bookmarks and I don't want to lose them. Is there any way to recover my bookmarks? I have no access to the previous phone because the charger is warped and the battery is swollen. Thank you.

Good morning everyone. I find managing bookmarks on Firefox for Android extremely difficult. To open a bookmark I have to click on bookmarks, desktop bookmarks, bookmarks bar, favorites bar and choose the bookmark. A very long journey. Furthermore, once I have opened a bookmark and subsequently want to open another one I have to repeat the same very long procedure, Firefox does not resume from the folder where I opened the last bookmark, as happens in other browsers. I don't know if I explained myself. Can it be remedied somehow?

Hi , I have Firefox on old android device ( android 4.0.1 ) and I have a lot of bookmarks on it . I need to backup or save my bookmarks to use it on my new android phone . The problem ( I can't sync or use my fireFox account on the old phone because Firefox not support android 4.0 anymore _ so old devices can't sync anymore) When I try to sync it give an error with empty page.

Hi. I have a question regarding the latest version 118.2.0 for Android. If you want to save websites that you visit often you can press "add to shortcuts" and then you could easy reach them in the Firefox home page. In the new version 118.2.0 you must always press refresh when you open one of the "shortcuts" For example, if you had a shortcut to CNN.com earlier (in the old version) and opened it you always came to the "refresh" side. In the new vesrsion 118.2.0 you always must press "refresh" I dont know if this is a bug or not ? Regards /O

I have synced my bookmarks from my desktop Firefox to Firefox on my Android phone and tablet. If I bookmark something on my tablet, how do I move the bookmark into a desktop folder? I tried creating a bookmark on my tablet, but I can't seem to move it from my tablet to my desktop. I've looked at a help article which helped me create the bookmark, but I tried their saving procedure and had no success. Right now, I save the email containing the link I want to bookmark, then access the email on my desktop and save the bookmark there. How do I save the bookmark directly from the tablet into my desktop folders?

When I open my bookmarks on Android it always defaults back to the top level of my bookmarks which is very irritating. I often read pages that are located under the same bookmark folder. It would be nice if Firefox would remember the bookmark folder I used last like every other browser does.

I have Firefox 118.1.0. I am unable to access file:///data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/ in the browser's address bar. How would I access this? I wanted the bookmarks file.

When trying to open a bookmarked site, for example "https://mstdn.social/@noelreports", it suggests the site up until having typed in "noe". So, I can type in "n", "o" and "e" and get it suggested all the time. But as soon as "l" is added, the suggestion disappears. But this "l" is part of both the page title and the address, so that is really strange. Very irregularly, when I delete the last letter and retype it, the bookmark suddenly appears. On the synced Windows 10 installation of Firefox, everything works flawlessly.

Hello, I recently tried to create an account to sync everything in firefox on my phone, but after a few attempts the account page just wouldn't load, so I decided to update the app because it was quite some time ago since I last updated it.

But right after the update, everything's gone: bookmarks, history, tabs. I was brought to a getting started page like I never installed firefox. I checked the bookmarks/history options but nothing was there. Shouldn't the app preserve its existing data even after an update? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So i was browsing google to find any solution with android Firefox and bookmarks. It's 2023 and it's still impossible to move bookmarks in it. Is this some kind of a joke? So the only option is to move to Opera i guess? Can i move my bookmarks to it on my phone?

While adding a website shortcut to my home screen on Android, I changed the name (to be shown on the home screen). I later decided to use a slightly different name, so I removed the shortcut and added it again, entering the new name. Nevertheless, the shortcut is now always added with the original custom name. This is also the case when I leave the name unchanged in a later attempt. I get the same results with multiple sites. I get the same results after closing Firefox, restarting my phone and emptying the Firefox cache. Even thought the shortcut on the home screen is probably not actually a bookmark, I tried bookmarking the site, and changing the name of the existing bookmark - with the same results. Is there a way I can choose a different name for the home screen shortcut, or this a bug? Background: I am now manually adding shortcuts to my home screen after getting a new phone (Pixel 7a). I had have mostly the same shortcuts on my previous phone (Pixel 3a XL). The shortcuts were kind-of(!) transferred to my new phone: they appear in the same home screen folders as on my old phone, but gray. When I try to open them, I get the message: "Couldn't restore shortcut because app doesn't backup and restore". Is there a way to transfer (all) home screen shortcuts? If not, please consider adding support for backup or automatic migration.

Just migrated to Pixel 7 Android. Was able to sync my logins and passwords from my PC. However Boomarks didn't sync even though I selected/checked them to be synced. Why not? How do I get my PC boomarks to appear on a Pixel 7?

I'm seeking assistance with managing my bookmarks on Firefox for Android. I've been a Firefox user for some time, and I've accumulated a significant collection of bookmarks that I really wouldn't want to lose. However, I'm a bit unsure about the process of importing and exporting bookmarks on the mobile version of the browser. I've looked around, but I can't seem to find the feature. Am I overlooking something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
