So a couple days ago I got Firefox for android and looks great but. But after some time I had over 50 tabs open. I have a few bookmarks that I use frequently. So it's very easy to tab the address bar and select the bookmark that I want, browse and then rinse and repeat. The problem that I have with Firefox is that my bookmarks always open in a new tab instead of the current one.

I can't seem to find the right setting and browsing for about:config also doesn't seem to do anything.

Does anyone have some tips?

Thanks in advanced

The Bookmarks option cannot be found on the 3-points menu, con trary to the following help topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-bookmark-folders-firefox-android#w_create-a-new-bookmark-folder There are several options like the following three, but Bookmarks is not there: Select tabs, Share all tabs, Tabs settings, etc.

What is this issue, and how can I manage tabs folders, please? How can tabs folders be managed like making a new tabs folder or rename it?

Dear Firefox-Team, I want to install my Bookmarks from HTML, not via the Firefox-Sync (I have different bookmarks on different devices), on my new cell phone (Firefox Android). This was obviously possible in 2017 when I did so on my old smart phone, but it seems to be impossible under my new one. Any tipps?

Retrieving bookmarks from old phone

I have an old phone which runs Android 4.4.2. The manufacturer does not let me upgrade the OS to a later version. The phone has a copy of the most recent version of Firefox for Android 4.4.2, which is Firefox 68.0. In case it matters, it's the version of Firefox from F-Droid. As it is not possible to upgrade the OS version, it is also not possible to upgrade the Firefox version.

This version of Firefox is too old for Firefox Sync. It is possible to log in, but nothing is synchronised.

I need to copy all bookmarks from the phone to my computer. How can I do this?

Hello: Have 3 Android phones with same FF login. Spent 3 hours today creating the folders I needed and moving 200+ bookmarks on one phone into the folders. Logged in and synced. Logged in the 2nd phone and synced.

Folders were created but no bookmarks in them. Resynced the 1st phone and it emptyed the folders and copied the bookmarks from the 2nd phone's top folder back to the first phone wiping out my work to move the bookmarks into the folders.

I have used FF for many years and not seen a failure of the magnitude.

HOW IS SYNC SUPPOSED TO WORK?

Please give us back a way to manually export the bookmarks for backup and install on new phones. Samsung and Google copy processes for old to new phones are terrible. Third party apps are no better. Even a way to copy the litesql would be a major improvement.

Also question why the folder creation and moving bookmarks is so convoluted?

Why not click on a folder, click add, add name, click done.

Click on edit a bookmark, click move, present folder list, click desired folder, present OK or Decline, click your choice, click done.

This has got to work better than jumping all over the screen following the current convoluted processes.

Thanks,

Ken
