Firefox no longer allows me to bookmark web sites that I want for place in my bookmark folders. I have encountered several situation when trying to bookmark a web site:

1- When I get to a site that I want to bookmark, I go to "Bookmarks", select and click on "Bookmark Current Tab" and nothing happens. On prior versions of Firefox, another panel would be presented where I would have the option to file the current tab to an existing Firefox folder or create an new folder.

Now I do not have that option available to me. These problems seems to to have started with the upgrade to 134.0.2

2- When I go to "Bookmarks" and select "Manage Bookmarks" I am able to see a listing of of the bookmarks but the list is not complete. I have preciously established and used the bookmark labeled as "Woodworking" which is no longer present, in fact the the last alphabetical listed bookmark is "Ryobi".

I did have and was able to use the bookmark "Woodworking" in the past. Why is everything beyond "Ryobi missing?

3 - Some times when I go to use bookmarks it does show provide me with the panel that would allow me to bookmark the current tab but it will not allow me to create a new folder where I want to place the current tab..

4 -I have tried to go to an older version of Firefox but have been unable to locate where I can obtain it. Would going back to an older version resolve my issues and if so where can I get an older version?

I have been using Firefox for many years and never had issues and have been very happy with it. Anything guidance you can provide to resolve these bookmark issues would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi People,

I need to organize bookmarks into a few folders and then navigate back to them. I need to create bookmark folders in Library (or some place that they are out of sight until I click), and then see folders in a drop down list where I can quickly find, for example, the Teaching, Media, etc. folders that I create. I'd love to use the star icon to create a bookmark which shows up in the unsorted part of the same area, and that I can drag into a folder when I need to organize.

This used to work easily. I recently installed windows 10 and Firefox after my drive died. Bookmarks are stacking up and smeared across the toolbar. That's distracting, and I'd prefer them in a sidebar or drop down menu.

This used to happen easily. It used to be simplicity to create folders for bookmarks and sort them by name. It was simple to find them (drop down from Library iirc.) I could see unsorted bookmarks below that, and just drag them into folders to organize.

Now, I CAN'T find folders. I can use More Tools -Customize to move "Bookmark toolbar items" to an overflow space or the library, and get at those spaces from the toolbar menu icon or from the library toolbar icon. But I can't see any folders that I create, only the recent bookmarks. I can manage bookmarks by clicking on Menu -Bookmarks -Manage. I can see created folders and create new ones and even put bookmarks into those folders. But what I can't do is find those folders anywhere else, like in Library or Menu drop down. I've tried creating folders in Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, and the Other Bookmarks Folder. I see them in manage, but not anywhere else. This is too much hassle to get to bookmarks, and they're a disorganized mess as I bookmark more things. I've read several Firefox help articles and watched a few vids... and nothing is working.

Can you help? Much appreciated,

My windows10 laptop was destroyed, but I was able to retrieve the hard drive with all data in tack. I am currently using a new laptop loaded with Windows 11. I've been trying to find the bookmarks on my old hard drive to copy on a usb to reload on my new laptop with no success. HELP

My add-on email account link has changed the account that it accesses without input from me (I know that sounds odd, but I did not make any changes) I need to link my Outlook account to the email link in my tool bar. Can you provide instructions?

Is there a way to make the popup that opens when you click on 'Manage Bookmarks' open up to a different folder than 'Other Bookmarks'? There is nothing in that folder. ever. Why cannot we open it to 'Bookmarks Menu'? or whatever? thanks, terry

I am using the version 115.20.0esr (64-bit) and have noticed I have links in my bookmarks, that are either from other bookmark folders but I never copied them over, or I have new links that I never clicked to be saved? I have deleted those I found but some more keep popping up?

Firefox is not allowing me to save bookmarks into my toolbar folders. Is there a limit as to how many can be saved into a toolbar folder? This has been going on for over a month now. I use a VPN. Is the VPN causing an issue?

Click on bookmarks, the drop-down menu appears, click or move cursor on an entry in the list, the new drop-down-menu of 2nd level appears. If the list contains many entries the 2nd level drop-down menu overrides 1st level. This does not happen with firefox preceding version. Note: attaching a picture because a webm video is not accepted.

Over the last week, I've noticed that my Bookmarks in Firefox keep disappearing, it's happened before but they've always come back when I've closed my browser and restarted. Today I went to the Bookmarks and they've gone, I tried closing the browser and restarting my desktop computer too. I've look at every help I can but I can't get the Bookmarks back. I've got (I had) a lot of Bookmarks and preferred to go through the Bookmarks to get to the sites I want. I like Firefox but I really do need the Bookmarks to show. Also, when I tried to import my backup(s) it wouldn't do it either.

I've run Norton full scan but it found no threats.

I'm on W10 Home, 64 bit - Microsoft hasn't update in the last week so I've ruled them out too.

Would some kind person please help, I'd be most grateful as I've run out of things to try - by the way I'm not a techie.

Many thanks Christa
