Fóram Tacaíochta Firefox

I opened my bookmarks today to find out that all my bookmarks are showing the same web address (Chevrolet.com). And when I went to Recovery, I only found the backup that Firefox did today with the single web address for all my bookmarks. Firefox was updated to version 120 on 11/21/2023.

My computer 'guru' reinstalled Win10 in order to correct a serious problem. ALL of my programs were gone and I was left with a raw Win10. 6/12/2023 was last date prior to the disaster. I reinstalled Firefox. Using the "firefox.exe -p" I can only find the default profile. I DO HAVE a full backup done using the Win7 Backup and Restore feature. How do I resurrect my most recent profile? I will need to find the files(s) manually from the b/u. When I did a Full Restore the bookmarks didn't appear. Where and what files am I looking for? The attached screen shots from the b/u may be of help. [removed email from public forum]

Hello - Firefox to Safari bookmark syncing used to work seemlessly between pc and ipad. Noticed it's no longer working. I've done all the resetting/restarting/logging out/uninstalling/reinstalling recommended. It still won't sync. I ended up installing Firefox on the iPad to get the bookmarks from PC. That sync works (takes a while sometimes). But it will not ever update the IOS from the last time it worked (maybe 3 months ago). I can erase IOS bookmarks and reload from iCloud, but the files are months old.

Has this function just been removed?

Using YouTube for example...

Previously, when I bookmarked a page/video (URL), if the newly bookmarked page (URL) had previously been visited, the bookmark would be displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon). But, if the newly bookmarked page (URL) has never been visited, then the bookmark would be displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon).

I almost always create bookmarks by dragging links/URLs from the browser client area to a folder in the bookmarks list in the sidebar (and sometimes/rarely, to a folder on the Bookmarks Toolbar). But the same happens if I manually create a new bookmark to a "Visited" or "Un-visited" page.

Recently, this behavior just changed "without notice"...

Now, when I drag a link/URL from a the "Recommended videos column" on the right side of a YouTube page/video, to the bookmarks list in the sidebar, the bookmark is ALWAYS displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon), regardless of whether the page had previously been visited, or not. Also, existing bookmarks for un-visited pages that were previously created, and were previously displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon), are now displayed in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a typical "YouTube Play Button" icon (favicon).

How can I bring back the previous behavior of displaying bookmarks of un-visited pages/URLs in the Sidebar (or Toolbar) with a default "Globe" icon (favicon)?

I've already imported bookmarks from chrome to firefox once before, about half a year ago on my desktop. However, recently, when I updated it to reflect the new data (through important from browser AND import through HTML file), and it doesn't update it on my desktop. I've tried restoring it, importing it again and again, restarting my computer, and the app. I've tinkered around with the settings multiple times. I've signed out and signed back in with my Firefox account, refreshed Firefox, and even uninstalled and redownloaded the app, yet the damn old bookmarks bar is still on my desktop app. On my phone when I go to desktop bookmarks, it'll show the new desktop apps data, but the computer which is what I want to change, still shows my old ones. What do I do? Is there anyway I can delete the old browser imported data so the only data is the new one? Because I've looked for that feature in settings and I don't see a way to do so.

how do i change the books marks menu from showing recent bookmarks to showing the traditional bookmark list including folders? tired of having to hunt for my bookmarks. this setup is the dumbest thing ive seen.

I used to have LIBRARY and ORGANIZE in the drop-down menu of Bookmarks...They disappeared after having to RESET Firefox a while back. I have tried searching everywhere, settings, etc.

my bookmarks are no longer there have bookmarked more than 250 bookmarks I want them back as well as fix folder in one drive bookmarks keep them there safely even deleted bookmarks I want back

Please don't go technical on me. I read exactly how to bookmark a website. I understand how to create folders. What I'm lost about is how do I create a folder in my toolbar, and not see the website in the menu? I have tried to put a saved site in a toolbar folder, then delete it from the drop-down menu, but once it is deleted the toolbar folder is empty. The folder I created still exist though.

Then I tried to create a folder and put it in the Toolbar. In the drop down menu I left specific websites.

When I closed the browser everything was gone from the folders and the drop down menu.

All I need it to create folders in the Toolbar area. Leave "non-duplicated" sites in the drop down menu. I just don't need to loose everything again, I spent hours doing this, I'm thankful I was able to do a recovery, except it was the last date I used days ago.

Again, this is what I need, not how yours is.

Thanks

I imported my bookmarks from chrome and there are thousands of bookmark folders. I wish to delete multiple folders at one time. All the answers I have found online do not seem to work. Is there a way in managing bookmarks to select and delete multiple "FOLDERS" at one time? TIA.

I have installed Firefox on my new computer but some bookmarks did not transfer from my old computer. This includes those bookmarks shich displayed on my old computer only when I clicked on "search bookmarks." When I click "search bookmarks" on the new computer, it only displays bookmarks I have visited on the new computer. New computer is running Windows 11. How do I transfer these bookmarks to my new computer? Thank you.

I followed the steps to import bookmarks from Chrome into Firefox but when I choose my dominant Chrome account the Chrome bookmarks did not show up in the "import all available data". (Weirdly Bookmarks from other Chrome accounts I have did show up).

How can I get the Chrome bookmarks to be available for import?

I received an error message – “XULRunner” 118.0.1 is not compatible with minveversion 118.0 maxversion 118.0 I googled from my smartphone how to fix the issue. I uninstalled Firefox. I reinstalled Firefox and NOW I lost all my bookmarks, passwords. How do I retrieve my bookmarks, passwords? I tried; a system restore point. I googled everything to solve this, nothing works.
