Is there a setting so that bookmarks, when accessed in a folder, will always sort by name. It appears that every time you add new bookmarks to a folder they are added to the bottom of the folder bookmark list and not listed alphabetically. Thanks

I have accumulated a LOT of bookmarks over the years. I want to streamline it and delete several so I have room to add more but it will not delete them. How do I go about deleting the bookmarks I want and adding more that I do want? It's very frustrating

This is a suggestion on how to delete Bookmarks Unfortunately when backing up bookmarks, then restoring them, this results in many duplications. To be effective there should at least be an option whether or not to accept a duplication. Otherwise the result, in reality becomes unmanageable.

To overcome much of the effort just select what is superfluous and use the Delete key.

An organized Bookmarks menu (using folders) can really make the Internet a place to find anything later that has value in the moment.

I've been using Library techniques for over 40 years. Microsoft's Favorites were my first introduction. Hopefully FF will tend to be very similar. What now exists is difficult to use in a number of ways.

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

Installed Firefox 138.0+Linuxmint1+Virginia as an update on my Linux mint computers, and now the bookmark toolbar is gone. I have right clicked the menu bar and set Bookmark toolbar to "always show", but it does not show. I have gone into settings as well. What did version 138.0 do with my bookmark toolbar?

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?

Bookmarks no longer saved and now no longer are listed in Bookmarks tab after many years of saving

After many years of successfully using Mozilla Firefox, the last few weeks I noticed a problem that gradually progressed that made it difficult to add a single Bookmark. Now the Bookmark displays only: Manage Bookmarks, Bookmark Current Tab, Search Bookmarks, Bookmark All Tabs, Bookmarks Toolbar, Other Bookmarks, Mobile Bookmarks. Not only could I not add the new Bookmark but I no longer could view ANY of my Bookmarks created over the years. This error started out easily corrected by going to different website and then back to the one that I wanted to save. Today, that did not work and no matter what I tried including completely shutting down and turning back on my computer to the Firefox browser, I could not add ANY website to bookmark. What I tried next was to sign out of Firefox which required me to create a new password because the previous one created was not accepted. After creating a new log in credentials I then tried to use Sync to retrieve my data which was unsuccessful because no entries under Bookmarks were present. What if anything can I do to retrieve these important Bookmarks? Thanks

(on a mac book pro 2021-Ventura 13.7.2)

  1. 1 - first time sending FireFox bug issue. I took 1/2hr to type out my book mark issues, as specific detail as possible so it would be clear why your NEW Update messed up your BOOKMARK function - a first time and was DONE. went to bottom to click Submit. Saw the ask for Images, made the screenshots, uploaded screen shots here, saw your Button for "Data share"- not sure what this is but wanted to help you/help me, so I clicked it, said something next suggesting I Data share manually - link for HOW to Data share manual, decided was too much for my time right now - clicked the top window Arrow "Back" to THIS page AND 40MIN OF INFO WAS GONE!!!!

Don't put a button and ask for info suggesting I click or I move away from a page to HELP YOU !!! then lose all the work I just did. DON'T WASTE MY TIME!!! OMG - WTF!!! this is not a "fun thing" to spend time on during a busy day or ever. now don't care to re-type it and am leaving with bad experience. well done!

"Volunteers" - why are volunteers doing Firefox support work for free?

See attached screen shots. Bottom line-GO BACK TO THE OLD BOOKMARK FUNCTION where I can add a new bookmark AND put it in folder where I want it in 1 step.

When I creat a new bookmarks they are not automatically put in alphabetical order but instead are placed in the ned. Why not put them in order when they are made? Anyway, I tried to use the option that allows me to sort bookmarks alphabetically but nothing happens. This used to work but not now. I am using 137.0.1 (aarch64)

I have attached an image to show what I mean.
