Showing all bookmarks and folders all at once when saving a bookmark is beyond frustrating to use every time and it’s unnecessary. Please make folders selectable individually like they are on most other browsers with bookmarks rather than having to have all the bookmarks out at once. Maybe make it so pressing it opens and closes the folder, and holding it will put a bookmark in that folder. Or just have it so in bookmark saving mode, tapping/pressing the folder opens the folder, there’s a back arrow to get out of the folder, and a “save here” button or something on the other side of the back button to save the selected bookmark to whatever folder you are in. It’s not like that interferes with moving folders and bookmarks since you have to press the edit button before you can move those first anyway.

I'm getting the following error message:

The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem.

I don't know what prompted this concern on my Windows 11-based laptop, but I only noticed this last night doing some research for another issue. I don't have any of my bookmarks showing up in the bookmarks section, nor will it allow me to click the star on any tab to bookmark the page. I have restarted and shut down my laptop several times and this is not solving the concern. Let me know if you need more information or if I need to start this inquiry again elsewhere, but again it sounds like the same concern.

I have included a screenshot of the exact error for accuracy's sake. Like everyone else here, I'm trying to get my bookmark and history access back up and running but not sure how to go about it.

I couldn't get past the first fix suggestion because I am not sure how to restart Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional?as=u&utm_source=inproduct&redirectslug=The+bookmarks+and+history+system+will+not+be+functional&redirectlocale=en-US). I have restarted my laptop several times but the issue still persists.

Please advise.

Ironically, I am not having this issue on my older PC that is still operating on Windows 10. I can view history and access or add bookmarks with no concern to my knowledge.

Hello,

I noticed something that feels really inconvenient when working with many open tabs. Right now, when I try to bookmark multiple open tabs, there’s no simple way to select all of them at once. There’s no “Select All” option, so I have to manually pick each tab, which becomes frustrating if I have dozens of tabs open.

It would be very helpful to have a “Select All” checkbox or button when adding open tabs to bookmarks, so users could quickly save everything in one step.

This seems like a small feature, but it would make managing tabs much easier, especially for people who research a lot or keep many tabs open.

Thanks for your work on Firefox.

Now that some bright person eliminated my visible bookmarks, I find firefox is just too hard to use. You eliminated my bookmarks from the screen, but they are still there in the menu. Problem is, I have too little patience to use the bookmarks menu EVERY TIME, OVER AND OVER.

So the Firefox team has forced me to Bing. That sucks. I think this update was a tragedy for USERS, but users never matter anyway, so who cares? NOT FIREFOX. This last update ruined Firefox in my humble opinion.

Don't bother to reply. I'm leaving in disgust. Good luck, y'all!

bold text My prior version of Firefox had a line near the top where commonly used links (e.g., google calendar) could be accessed. My current version no longer has that. Can I recover those links and is there a way of having convenient access to them with the current version?

icon is missing on 2 of my bookmark, tried every fix found on google and AI and nothing works ... you should add a simple fonction to choose an icon for the bookmarks ...

After the last few Firefox updates, my bookmarks will not work at all. I have never had these issues before the last few updates, but they're quite aggravating. Is there an easy way to fix this issue where it does not happen again?

Suggested Fixes or upgrades.

1. 1: Way to disable auto zoom on android.

Have screen zoomed up manually to see screen content on android phone. Start typing phone zoomes in to close and can not see whole field or other important info on screen I had previously zoomed in to see. every time I zoom out to see again and start typing auto zooms back to where it it difficult. Makes it difficult to be productive fighting the auto zoom feature. would like to be able to disable it, if possible. would make my life much easier as I work away from home and have to use my phone for many tasks. Prefer Desktop to avoid these issues but situation is what it is.

1. 2: Fix sort order on Bookmarks (Have in My Manuel order of importance order on desktop), on Android (sorts alphabetically). difficult to locate bookmarks

Hi. When I want to bookmark a site, it says the error "invalid url." It doesn't add to the bookmarks. But when I bookmark the same site on the PC with the same profile, it adds to the bookmarks. I will help you give every data you want to check. The sites I want to add to the bookmarks do not add them on sites such as Google Twitter etc. Thank you in advance. I hope you will help.

I have organized my bookmarks into various directories & sub-directories. On occasion, these directories &/or sub-directories 'migrate' if I'm not precise with my cursor movements. Is there a search function I can use without having to go through each directory/sub-directory one-by-one?
