Firefox Community Forum

in the last couple weeks, every time I go into Firefox my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar are scrambled. (all messed up and out of order). I have to keep restoring from a good save file. How do I stop this from happening? I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but that hasn't helped. I have imported the good bookmark file that I saved.

Version 137.0 was installed today, when I rebooted my pc. I am grateful with the developers of Mozilla, who spend so much time to give us a good product (and I contribute every month with a small sum), but I was discombobulated, when I saw that my poor bookmarks, that I kept quite tidy since the beginnings of Firefox, have been thrown upside down.

Folders and separators have disappeared and I cannot figure out how the hundreds of my bookmarks are ordered in an apparently infinite list, where they appear several times.

Is there a remedy?

Is this a new bookmarks-policy ? If this is the case, I would have liked to be informed in advance. But, well, don't look an almost-gift horse in the mouth!

I have changed computers and I want to be able to see bookmarks as a column on the left hand side as on my old computer......but cant seem to find anything in order to do this on this firefox version

I just upgraded to the latest version of FF (137) and it seems I can no longer select a folder from my bookmarks tab and "open all". Why remove this useful feature?

In Safari I can right click on a URL & navigate through a hierarchy of folders to a specific location & add the bookmark to that folder.

Having imported that folder hierarchy to Firefox, I can't find a way to save the page I am currently on to a particular folder in that hierarchy.

Firefox bookmark file keeps adding all my bookmarks to the bookmark file. I have an unbelievable amount of bookmarks.

It keeps copying all of the ones in the Menu Bar many times to the end of the list in the Manage Bookmarks page.

I need to keep one copy of my bookmarks in the Menu bar but want to make sure I don't delete those.

Why are the same bookmarks multiplying in my bookmark file?

Bookmarks have been intermittently disappearing for weeks but I could always see the blue star when I visited favorite sites that I use upon starting my day that I had bookmarked. This morning all bookmarks were missing. I tried clearing cache which had worked to restore some bookmarks that were missing. Now everything is gone and I cannot recover them. There is an error that appears when I open Firefox re: bookmarks and I followed the steps but it did not work. I really need my bookmarks to do all the things I need to do, like everyone else, including medical information websites. I hope you all can get this figured out as it has been a problem for a month for me, on a PC. I know my favorites are stored somewhere on this computer but I cannot make them populate. If someone would like to take control of my computer and fix it for me, I would happy to let you do that. I have run sfc/scannow and chkdsk/f as well as a total virus scan with Norton. I have restarted my computer several times as well as done a complete shutdown several times.

All,

There is a major a major problem with saving emails & bookmarks, based on another violation of the 1st cardinal law of IT to: NEVER EVER ASSUME anything!

When trying to save either an email or bookmark % you are attempting to find an existing subfolder or subcategory, the search does not wait for you to enter the complete names but starts searching on the 1st character. When you know the exact name of the place to save this is super irritating & you cannot find the subfolder or subcategory, so keep having to create new folders. because of this problem I now have well over 2,000 folders, subfolders, categories & subcategories.

The assumption that a user will only have a limited number of folders & categories is totally asinine, so fix this ASAP Please. Also this field does not allow pasting values into the field & must because when you know the exact name of the parent folder, but cannot paste thar name into this field, the USER is already cursing you for your stupidity!

Noe I know you guys monitoring this are not the develpers, but you have contacts with them, we do not have so pass this along!

Cheers! TBNK

Hello. Idk how this happened, but my bookmarks have quadrupled. Idk why I bookmark so much, but I had about 40 folders for bookmarks, until I now found I have 160. There's 4 of every folder. How do I clean this up? I know Edge has a "delete duplicate bookmarks" button. But in Firefox, I can only find add-on extensions that claim they can clean out duplicate bookmarks, but having tried 3, I've found none to work. Any suggestions?
