When I shifted over to firefox, I set the home screen to display bookmarks, and my bookmarks weren't showing (only one, not sure why this was the chosen one).
I deleted them all, and then added them sequentially, and they all appeared and all seemed to work.
Now they've all dropped off again.
I don't have 'restore previous setting' selected (as a prior answer suggests would work, described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1253979). I sync my settings on my phone/surface pro/iMac.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am using Firefox 67.0b3 (64-bit). I normally have keyword searches for URLs where the URL can change (e.g. http://%s.mozilla.org) but in the bookmarks manager, it won't allow me to create this bookmark. Also any existing keyword search bookmarks that had this do not work.
After installing the new version I can no longer save bookmarks into folders. Also clicking the star icon does nothing.

Firefox 69.0, Windows 7 Pro 64bit
I was having problems with Firefox taking a long time (30 seconds?) to fetch an open tab when restarting and I was unable to add or delete bookmarks. I learned about and turned off sync (set identity.fxaccounts.enabled to false) and that seemed to solve the problem. No more startup delay and was able to add and delete bookmarks. But now I've discovered that at some point in the session the ability to add and remove bookmarks disappears. If I close Firefox and restart, I get a message that Firefox is still running. I close the running session, restart, and the ability to add and delete bookmarks reappears, but eventually breaks again.
The places database passes validation checks.
FF update, bookmarks gone, bookmark import doesn't work.
If I click Library, Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks, it stops and takes me back to the main page so I can't import BMs from Chrome.

One website was getting stuck on TLS handshake. An article suggested I create a new Profile but gave no warning that I would lose my many hundreds of bookmarks built up over many years. I tried some of the suggested solutions without luck. Any help gratefully appreciated.
I can't delete any bookmarks.
I can't delete any bookmarks. No "star" in address bar. There was one, but when I clicked on it, nothing happened. Now it's gone.

I am not able to add or remove bookmarks. The bookmarks library is empty. I can't restore to any back up bookmarks. I restarted in safe mode. No bookmarks. I reset Firefox. No bookmarks. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No bookmarks. I did a Revo Uninstall and cleared the registry. No bookmarks. I deleted the localstore.rdf. No bookmarks. This is kinda a deal breaker for me. I might have to go to Chrome or IE.
Accurate Bookmark File Sizes Needed Before Reinstall.

I'm about to change Linux distribution and have around 20 thousand links (according to Library and Search). Most of those links are in category folders and sub folders and stuff gets routinely deleted when not needed, entire categories are often deleted when done with.
If I backup the current bookmarks, the HTML file comes to 7.7 MiB and JSON file 7.3 MiB. How can I be sure those backup files actually contain my current 20k worth of links??
It just seems a small file size for such a large amount of links. I'm sure I've seen larger backup file sizes than that in the past but it could be that things have changed under the hood and things have got more compressed.
I can't really afford to discover that I've lost a load of links and folders when I come to set Firefox back up in a new distro (using import). It's bad enough Firefox ignores any current layout integrity when bookmarks get imported over into a new set up and I end up having to re-order everything over the following days. But I'm grateful that previous large (but smaller than this) backup bookmark files do usually end up whole.
Thanks.

Greetings kind people.
lately i wanted to edit that file to add/delete entries and other maintanence.
I looked at a few details about the databases inside the file but still couldn't understand what each database is and what it contains.
I would just like details about the databases and which of them i need to edit to remove or add history or bookmarks entries.

Where are my saved websites saved? Also, am I able to "share" the file over my LAN? I have a desktop PC and a laptop connected to my network. What I would like to do is make it so whether I save (or bookmark?) a site on the laptop or desktop it is available on both. Does this make sense? If I need to do a better job explaining just let me know. Currently, I am successfully sharing the IE 'Favorites' folder so the links are always in sync and the same links are available on both of my machines.

Hi, please could I have some help with the following?
I had firefox installed on the same partition as the windows I booted from. Due to an error this partition would no longer boot and I had to install windows and firefox clean on a seperate drive.
I've managed to get the partition working again and can access all the files on it again. Unfortunately when i load up the firefox on the previously failed partition it appears to load up the same version as I installed most recently. None of my old book marks are in the menu which is what I am trying to access. I've looked on here for help and the following don't seem to apply to me...
- There's no profiles folder in the old partition so I can't find Places.sqlite. - Troubleshooting>Show Folder points to the application data on the new install drive - There doesn't appear to be backup.json files on the old partition
So my question is is there anywhere on the old partition you can think where my old bookmarks may be stored?
Any suggestions would be appreciated Many thanks JD

In the previous versions of Firefox, when you click on the star near the url, you can add this website on your favorites. Another click and you can edit some fields about this bookmark, like the url, the folder, etc...
But with FF17, the Description field is no longer there. You can only find it when managing your bookmarks, that is not really user friendly.
Is there a way to add again the description field when clicking on the gold star? It's very useful for adding notes about this website, and it's also synch with addins like Xmarks

I accidentally replaced my backup with the current bookmarks while trying to import from it. The original bookmarks were not present in Bookmark Backup in Profiles so I used Recuva for recovery. Now, Firefox gives the 'Unable to process backup file' thingy.
System Restore hasn't helped either.

I had about 100 folders w/bookmarks last week and by mistake I imported about 500 other folders dated over several months ago. I discovered I don't need those 500 folders. How do I get ride of all of them without doing it individually? I want to avoid trying to delete them individually folder by folder because it would just be too time consuming. Is there a way to highlight them all (500) and the delete all at once? thank you I await your answer.
Perhaps I can put first 100 folders altogether in another single folder, say X. And then export X as a back up. Then somehow remove all 600 folders plus X all at once some how completely emptying the bookmark listings and import back the backed up folder X. Can that be done?
