Using Firefox on desktop, Windows 11. I am a long term Firefox fan/user.

My problem is I cannot find anywhere an easy method to add a shortcut on my Home Screen (which has now been a FF feature for some considerable time).

I am sure there was something available to do this in a prior version some time back. If I search the internet, I only come across articles describing how to do it on Firefox Android.

I know I can manually edit a box on the Home Screen to create what I need.

Sometimes new web sites that I visit appear in the boxes and I can then pin them in place - but the behavior around this is very erratic and unreliable - seems like random chance for an icon to appear on the home screen for a newly visited site. If this was more consistent, I could work with that.

BUT - where is the **intuitive** option??!!

I should be able to right-click on a tab and select "Add to Home Screen".

As simple as that.

Or drag and drop a link, or tab to the home screen - but this just opens the link. I have tried everything obvious that I can think of.

Anyone?

Many thanks :)

The update to version 123.0 seems to have an issue. When I open a private browsing window, the bookmarks bar does not show. When I select always show, which is already selected ... it will show the bookmarks bar ... but if I go to a site or open a new tab it disappears again unless I select always show again, or hit ctrl shift b ... A fix would be great. Thanks so much

I recently installed windows on a new solid state hard drive, and did a fresh install of firefox, but I forgot to manually backup my bookmarks. The old install is still on the old windows hard drive, is there a way for me to move them onto the new install? I'd prefer to not have to rebuild the whole list from scratch!

Hi,

I wish to provide a co worker with access to some websites (and provide the site passwords), this will involve - from what I can see setting up a separate FF profile (that we both sync to - by using a Firefox Account) on my PC, somehow copying the bookmarks and passwords from my general profile into a new 'co worker' profile, the co worker (via sync) would then see the bookmark, and then hopefully also have the password available.

I can see how to export/import all my bookmarks, or have her sync to my 'general' FF account quite easily, but I only want to give her access to work related bookmarks and PWds.

Any thoughts appreciated.

i reinstalled windows 10 and tried to login in firefox, but i didn't remember password so i reseted password and tried to sync bookmarks but nothing to sync. how i can restore my bookmarks? why after reset password all my synced data will be erased? what genius came up with this?

I am trying to edit my bookmarks, deleting those no longer needed, etc. However, I now have several versions in my bookmark folders, an up to date one, an original one, and an in-between one. They seem to show up randomly. Why is this happening? If I delete or edit a bookmark, can't it stay edited or deleted?

I used to be able to simply click and drag to reorder bookmarks but this no longer works (Firefox 115.02). Is there a new way to do this or, if a bug, when will it be fixed?

I'm organizing my bookmarks in the Sidebar and have lots of folders and dividers to keep things organized into categories etc. When grabbing a bookmark at the bottom of the list, I start to drag it to the top to get it to a folder in the middle but as soon as I get close to the top the scroll starts and accelerates to a high speed immediately and I scroll all the way to the top. I want to know if there's a way to slow down either the top speed or the acceleration of the scroll, because at this point I cannot finesse it enough to get to where I want.

Thanks, Roger

Hello, I have somehow replaced by bookmarks with empty bookmarks, and I don't have the previous version in backups on my local machine.

Could you help me?

The scrolling speed in Bookmarks folders when hovering over top or bottom of list is too fast. When trying to drag a new bookmark to a Sub-folder in the Bookmarks Toolbar, and you need to scroll down in the list of folders, you hover over the bottom of the displayed drop-down. But it scrolls so fast that you go past the folder you are trying to drag n drop the new bookmark into. So you hover over the top of the list and it scrolls up so fast that again, you go past the folder you are looking for. Is there any way to control this scrolling speed? It's my only gripe about the BEST BROWSER. I have thousands of Bookmarks and hundreds of Folders. PLEASE HELP Thanks Regards

I inserted a pic of my problem. I want to save a twitter bookmark in my twitter folder in the toolbar but it comes up with TWO different folders! When I save to one it shows up in the toolbar folder, if I choose the other it does not and I have no idea where it goes. How do I remove the second twitter location?

The scrolling functionality in Firefox on my mouse has suddenly stopped working - please help. Does not scroll down the bookmarks pane. Webpage scroll bar on right of screen won't work with my mouse, must be dragged down or up the page using cursor.

I have four active Firefox windows, each with quite a few tabs. I have been closing and re-opening Firefox with no issue until today. Earlier this week I updated my Mac OS to Ventura 13.5, and Firefox was still operating normally after the installation (closing and re-opening with all windows and tabs intact).

Today however, when I restarted Firefox, no windows opened automatically. I closed and restarted a few times, and finally one window opened intact; however the other three windows (still dispalyed on the "Windows" menu) refuse to open. When I look at my Firefox app on my iPhone, it also shows all the tabs intact.

What can I do to get these to open? I am running Firefox version 115.0.3.

I run Firefox 115.0.3 on Windows 10, desktop. The main menu in Firefox has a "recent bookmark" listed and I would like to remove it from the menu. I thought it would be a simple matter of going into bookmark menu settings or the settings from the main menu, but it is not. When I was unable to resolve it, I did an internet search and was unable to find a straight forward answer. As one fix suggested, I tried turning off "history" to no avail. I've attached an image which shows "recent bookmarks" in the main menu of Firefox browser. I don't feel it is necessary to have recent bookmarks in the main menu when it is easily access from the bookmark icon. Perhaps I've overlooked an option in settings. Can someone please help resolve the issue.
