This relates to Firefox on Android.

Not very long ago, when I wanted to look through my bookmarks and view some of them, I could get back to the bookmarks folder I was in straightaway. It effectively stayed open even after I clicked on the bookmarked page, and I could just minimise the bookmarked page and click on another bookmark to view.

This no longer happens. So now when I want to view another bookmark, I have to go back to the bookmarks menu, navigate to the correct folder, scroll back down to where I was, and then select another bookmark. Which is beyond annoying.

Why was this changed, and please can it be put back to how it was? Or is there another way to do this?

Every couple of days the News Sites I have saved to my Bookmarks Toolbar cease to function and I have to delete the icons and then save the Bookmarks to the Toolbar AGAIN! Having to do this on such a frequent basis defeats the purpose of a "Toolbar"!!

The instructions on the page for fixing the error message about bookmarks and history not functioning refer to a Windows system, which I don't use on my Mac. Nor can I find anything under Virus & Protection in my Privacy & Security settings. I'm unclear what to try next, so are you able to advise? Many thanks in advance for your help! Meredith Rose

can no longer add, edit, tag, or remove bookmarks - when I click on the icon, no dropdown appears

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!

Every few days the contents of all of my bookmarks in my Bookmarks Toolbar folder are erased. The bookmarks are all there, but none of the books marks has any contents. Of course, it is easy to reload them by restoring bookmarks, but this should never happen in the first place.

Does anyone know why this is happening, and how to fix it?

I'm running Windows 11 Pro and Firefox 151.0.1 (64 bit)

Hi! Have several bookmarks that in the list are called "patient portal." I would like to change them so they have the doctors name to make it easier to find the one I need. I am running on Windows 11, with Version 150.0.3 (64-bit).

I have tried right clicking on the bookmark and there is no option to change the name. I looked under "organize" and again, no options.

Please, is it possible to do what I need?

Thanks!

When I click to save a bookmark, the menu that allows you to select the folder to save it to is no longer being displayed. If I click the save bookmark option again, it gives the option to edit the bookmark like it has always done. The bookmark menu then pops up and shows the bookmark is saved in whatever folder you had saved a bookmark in previously. I am on a desktop using windows 11. This has been happening for the last couple of days. I have shutdown the computer and also tried restarting but am still not able to see the selection box when saving a bookmark. I am also current on firefox updates and windows updates.
