I am in the process of switching from Windows 10 to Linux Mint (Cinnamon 22.3) as my daily operating system. My current Windows version of Firefox is 147.0.2, for Linux it is 147.0.3. installed from the official repository - also known as the Software Manager in Linux Mint. I've configured Firefox exactly the same in both operating systems. Running under Windows when saving a Bookmark, Firefox displays the well known Globe Icon, but after reloading the page the Favicon appears immediately (provided it is available of course). Under Linux Mint this does not happen, even if one restarts Firefox. Only after a system reboot Favicons of revisited pages become visible. Is this a fundamental difference between the Windows and Linux version of Firefox or am I missing something? I've installed the Firefox extension for caching the favicon, but it made no difference, If I run it, still the Icon does not appear until system reboot. I couldn´t find an answer in the help database nor on the Internet in general.

This difference might seem insignificant for most people but for me it is. When shopping on the internet I bookmark a lot of pages of products to be able to make quick comparisons. The Favicon is of great help because it makes it easy to identify the different shops. Of course I could manually change the bookmark name to include the shop name, but Icons are a much better clue and leave more room in the bookmark name for other information.

G0ogle hasn't helped! How can I remove some entries from the Bookmarks menu, such as: Search Bookmarks Bookmark All Tabs I'd also like to remove or hide "Other Bookmarks". (I'm using Firefox 147.0.3 x86 on Windows 10 version 1709.) Fingers crossed that someone can help. THANKS!

I am hoping that a permanent fix can be made to the bookmarks toolbar issue where another program may be using a file that allows it to show at the top of my screen. It keeps disappearing and I complete a fix and it disappears later in the week. Thanks Brian

I recently updated Firefox on my computer. After that, I can't find my old Bookmarks.

Also I find that I am UNABLE to add any new Bookmark. When I click on the 'Star' in the browser toolbar, there is nothing. Before I used to Get the Add Bookmark tab and a place to SAVE, now there is nothing.

Even after I type in the URL in the address bar, and open up the required page, I am unable to Add it to my Bookmarks.

Please Help!

Moderator note: This question has been edited to correct the language.

i have lost my Bookmarks folder and the bookmark function no longer works, since recently restarting. CAN ANYONE HELP ME TO RECOVER THE LOST BOOKMARKS OR HELP ME WITH THE ACT OF BOOKMARKING?

Recently i added some bookmarks in a dedicated folder. Afterwards i don't see the bookmark in that folder. Hoever if i click on "Search bookmarks" and enter its name the bookmark is listed. If i then rightclick on it and select "Show in folder", the bookmark is shown in the correct folder. What is wrong ? Thanks

Whenever you go to close a folder from the bookmark menu in the browser sidebar, having scrolled down due to a long list, the menu will not only close the folder but also make you click whatever was in that mouse position on the menu with the menu closed. This means closing a folder having scrolled down will cause you to potentially click open another folder or bookmark unintentionally. This is not an issue on the old bookmark menu, but using that isn't as convenient as the sidebar is.

Mein Thema betrifft die Änderung der Lesezeichen Verwaltung. Die Lesezeichen bleiben nicht mehr sichtbar sobald man auf eine andere Stelle mit dem Mauszeiger klickt z. B. um einen Tab durch das ziehen mit der Maus in die Lesezeichen ein zu sortieren. Dann funktioniert das scrollen mit der Maus nicht mehr, man muss zwangsweise mit dem Mauszeiger auf einen der Pfeile gehen um das scrollen zu ermöglichen. Wenn man neue Lesezeichen hinzufügen will, oder Lesezeichen in Unterordner öffnen möchte, dann muss mann sämtliche Unterordner umständlich mit dem Mauszeiger aufklappen, wenn man nicht richtig trifft fängt man wieder von vorne an. Wie bekomme ich die vorige Einstellung, und meines erachtens bessere Lesezeichenverwaltung, wieder hin?

I run the current version of firefox on a Windows 11 Dell Inspiron Laptop. My bookmarks are here, but the tags have disappeared. This has happened once before, and it took several days to restore the tags. Why is this happening? How do I prevent it?
