Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

I have been watching YouTube for years, issue free. This week I was blocked, as my computer may be blocking ads and thus violating You Tubes policy. How can I find and disable ad block programs/ extensions, thus allowing me to get back on You tube. I can recognize an outright program, but do not knew if extensions are in play that are not obvious to me. THANKS

I have set my account to "Don't delete any messages", because I frequently want to reread a deleted message in my Trash folder. However, when I go into my Trash folder to search for a deleted message, I am finding that messages older than a certain date have disappeared, although I've done nothing to permanently delete them. For example, today everything older than May 3 is gone. What can I do to prevent this?

thanks, CW

Firefox 139.0.4. version is also not good! Uploading videos to Youtube does not work with it! It does not move from zero percent! As I wrote earlier, the problem started with version 138.0.4. and is still ongoing! Uploading videos works with other browsers! I am waiting for the problem to be solved! If I wrote my letter in the wrong place, please forward it to the authorities! At the moment I could write a letter here, I can't really find a topic where this would be discussed! My OS Win10 64 bit. Thank you!

Quite often when I enter a url Firefox will start showing connections of the status bar. It appears to be forwarding the url to other sites before showing what I expect.

I don't understand why this happens. Using the Windows 11 browser goes right to url with no waiting.

I am repeatedly (a couple of times a week for the last several weeks) losing bookmarks. It is possible for me to regain them when I follow the instructions given by Firefox, but I am frustrated with having to do it repeatedly. I am including below the instructions I am following so that someone out there might be able to identify the root of the problem.

I updated to Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2 on May 2, 2025.

My suspicion is that a "helpful" friend made some sort of error. Earlier this spring, he deleted Microsoft Defender Malware Bytes (I think) because it was interfering with bookmarks. Maybe it has something to do with running Windows 11. If all that sounds confusing, it's because of my lack of technical expertise. I will be grateful to anyone who can help me.

"autofill logins & passwords"

Recently firefox updated to v139.0.4 (64bit) after the update I disabled "autofill logins & passwords" but every time I turn on the pc the username/login, on webpages (amazon,facebook. webmail), populates the field.

I never had this issue until the update, previous version "autofill logins & passwords" has always been disabled ie never shows...

I do NOT want the logon info for "autofill logins & passwords" populated...

Hello, Today I updated my firefox and lost all data related with my firefox acc. Passwords, bookmark.

How can I recovert it? It was in sync before update it.

Issue is just what the subject says - when I restart my computer, Firefox sync logs out and my browser resets to defaults. When I open my browser it's as if I'm setting it up for the first time.

I am signed into Firefox on two computers, but this is only happening on one of them. The setting to 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' is not checked.

Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks in advance.

Dear FF/Mozella staff,

  I have been using FF for many years with Windows 10, every time I launch FF it starts up, brings me to my start screen of favorites, and then shows itself still downloading on the top taskbar pane, but everything is already loaded on screen. The cursor will then not change to the hand pointer to follow links on screen. the bookmarks open to blank or unresponsive pages. Closing and reopening FF gives the error message that processes are still running and do I want to open a new window with FF, but that is unresponsive as well. 

back to internet explorer, Thanks for that

About a month ago I go to Facebook to play my usual: Angry Birds. I enlarge the screen and it goes blue but it never goes back to the original color. I tried getting out resetting...nothing. If I click on certain spots it will go back to it's original color but then when I click on something else it goes back to being blue. It's hard on my eyes. I sent a question to the actual website and was told it was something on Mozilla's end when a update was done. I go to play Angry Birds on a different platform and it's normal so yep, as usual it's Mozilla/Firefox. Can ya'll please fix whatever code ya'll have for the enlarge feature? I hate having to go to different platforms just to play one game.
