Firefox Community Forum

I am trying to migrate from a windows 10 computer to a Windows 11 computer. I have installed Firefox on the new computer. I exported my bookmarks from the windows 10 computer to a HTML file. I then imported them to the Windows 11 computer. I thought the import hadn't worked but finally found them Bookmarks Menu folder under Other Bookmarks. When I tried to move them to the Other Bookmarks folder Firefox wouldn't allow it. I finally went to the Other Bookmarks folder in Bookmarks Menu and selected all the files there, and copied them to the clipboard. Since the Other Bookmarks folder was no longer available in the left column, I closed Library and opened a new Library. I then pasted the files I had stored into Other Bookmarks. That seemed to work. However, when I click Other Bookmarks in the upper right hand corner of Firefox all the files there have the wire frame globe for icons and don't work. If I go to the Other Bookmarks folder in Bookmarks, those bookmarks still work. The bookmarks aren't of much use if I can't access them from Firefox. I am writing this on my Windows 10 computer but both computers have the same version of Firefox.

When will the Firefox developers fix the disappearing Bookmarks issue I reported approaching six years ago? I just had another occurrence today and it took quite a while to find the missing Bookmark. I do not remember IE 11 ever having this problem of recurring Favorites disappearing. I was told before that supposedly the reason is because I have a large Bookmarks file but as a researcher I need many Bookmarks. I guess the developers don't think disappearing Bookmarks is a problem that should be fixed!

So far, this year, the issue has occurred on: 1/6/2o26, 1/24/2026, 1/24/2026, 2/6/2026, 2/20?/2026, 4/10/2026, 5/17/2026, 5/21/2026, 6/16/2026, and today 7/6/2026.

Info about today's occurrence:

A Bookmarks folder titled Health which was located originally in: Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer Was found located at: Bookmarks Menu | From Internet Explorer | Government | U.S. | Issues | !Misc (not in alphabetical order).

Please resolve without further delay.

Cannot save bookmarks or edit existing in Firefox. Checking integrity shows: Unable to check places.sqlite integrity: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution:

Bonjour Affichage des dossiers de mes signets ne s'affichent. Tout apparait mélangé, sans le nom des dossiers. Que puis-je faire? Merci pour votre aide Cordialement

I have always been able to click on a box in the upper right to see my bookmarks on the left side of the screen.

This has now disappeared and the only way I can see the bookmarks is to go to "manage bookmarks". I don't see how to bring it back to the way it was.

I didn't knowingly change anything.

Thank you

On my old computer, I used the toolbar to take me to my main programmes like Ebay, Facebook, my log-in page for my bank etc. Now there is no room because it is filled up with bookmark folders.

Hello, I noticed google rolled out new icons for its workspace. However I use these workspace apps frequently and leave them on my bookmarks bar. For some reason however the docs, slides, and sheets logos respectively have defaulted their icons back to the original google drive icon. making it impossible to tell which is which from a glance. Sorry to bother y'all!

bookmarks :: i cant save any new bookmarks when i click book marks all bookmarks appear normal on drop down menu but when i try to save or edit the location i cant find them to click on

Why have YOU removed my Bookmarks Sidebar??? I have collected many bookmarks, but NOW there is NOTHING in the sidebar!! This is a rubbish way to update users - STOP IT!! I want my book marks on MY sidebar ... stop thinking YOU KNOW BETTER!! GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK MARKS! WHERE *I* WANT THEM!!

Seriously this is SO RUBBISH I will dump Firefox ... after MANY MANY YEARS!!

When I click "Delete Bookmark, nothing happens-the bookmark is not deleted. What gives? I keep Firefox updated when I'm alerted and I have updated to Windows 11.

I used to be able to add another site on the top toolbar to the one I am currently on ---- this was on the toolbar at the top of the page. This ability has disappeared recently.

I can't figure out which topic to use for this but I can't submit it without one.

When I click on the star icon in the address bar the star icon is filled in, and existing bookmarks do show with the filled-in star icon and they work. But I no longer get a dropdown where I can assign a folder, edit, tag, or delete an existing bookmark, and the pages I've tried to bookmark don't show up in Recently Bookmarked so they haven't been added. I don't know if it has something to do with the toolbar?

Nothing I can find online helps. The places.sqlite file in my profile is not read-only, and I refreshed Firefox (stupidly, before I took a screenshot of the pinned shortcuts on my New Tabs page) and that made no difference. The only extension I use is UBlock Origin. Changing profiles did not help. This is on my personal laptop and no organization controls my settings.

I stay up to date on Windows 11 and Firefox updates. I do use a VPN but it never interfered with bookmarking functionality before. (I see Firefox offers a free one now but I've got a couple of years left on my paid subscription).

I asked the community but got no replies. (I did "reply" to add more information which no longer applies, and I can't seem to delete the "reply".)

Thanks in advance for any help!
