I have the latest version of Firefox installed on my iMac and my MacBook Air, and even though I'm signed into my same Firefox account on both, and have synced bookmarks on both, the bookmarks on my toolbar on each device are different.

How do I get the same Toolbar bookmarks on both devices?

How to best organise tabs without keeping windows/tabs open all the time

Let's say I have 20 windows open, each with 30 tabs on. Instead of these windows consuming resources and sitting open, I want a really, really easy way of "saving" each … (read more)

Let's say I have 20 windows open, each with 30 tabs on. Instead of these windows consuming resources and sitting open, I want a really, really easy way of "saving" each window as is (as they're organised by topic), closing them, and then by hitting just a couple of buttons voila, I can see all the potential windows, select what I need and have it open, and easy to shut again in reverse.

How can I do this? I can't make head nor tail of Firefox bookmarks - have examined the menu option, have read the articles, still as clear as mud. For example, "save all tabs" doesn't seem to mean save all tabs, it just means save tabs in the window you've maximised. Then after creating its own folder in Bookmark menu, when I added a new tab to it I thought that would update. It doesn't. Then I manually did another "save all tabs" for that menu - and the new tab didn't appear.

I don't even know if Bookmarks is the way to even attempt what I'm trying to do here in my question. Does anyone have any great tips on how to minimise the firefox window clutter, but have it really accessible easily?

Thanks.

my bookmark for my bank no longer opens

My Navy Federal Credit Union website no longer opens, just a blank white page. I use it nearly daily so now must rely on my phone app. I prefer to do my banking on my MacBook Pro. Here is the link that no longer lets me sign in: https://digitalapps.navyfederal.org/signin/

The link works on my Safari browser but the site isn't fully functional on that browser. I have used Firefox exclusively for years and with this bank. The Browser support info at NFCU says Firefox still works. How do I solve this ?

Thanks

I have multiple windows open with multiple tabs on each. Most created before I had a Firefox login (if that makes any difference).

I am upgrading my os on my Mac and somehow either a) keep all the windows with all their tabs open (preferable) or b) easily create some record of what they all are so I could relaunch them if a) is impossible.

How can I do this?

How do I delete a single bookmark? The instructions in your help file do not work. I click on the blue star in the top right corner, hit "Delete bookmark," but the bookmark does not delete. I have tried shutting down Firefox and restarting after giving the delete command, but no dice. The bookmark seems immortal! Using Mac OS 10.13.6.

I started using Firefox ESR a while ago when I had an older version of Mac OS. Now I am running High Sierra (OS 10.13) and I think I could use the standard release of Firefox, which may have newer features supported. How do I switch to that?

I just updated the Firefox browser and installed it successfully. When I tried to open the browser, I got a msg stating that the security of the page I am trying to open has not been verfied. Really don't understand that since it is the firefox browser and this came from Mozilla. How do I correct that?

How do I hide the tab bar when Firefox is in full screen mode? (Mac)

Even when I'm in Full Screen mode on my Mac, Firefox insists on putting a tab bar at the top of the page; how do I hide that tab bar? I've searched all over the settings and Internet to find an answer, but no luck in finding the answer.

The main idea of "Full Screen Mode" is to maximize the usable display area of the browser window. When I'm using Full Screen Mode, I am intentionally using just one URL. If I need a new window, then I'll get another Full Screen Firefox window (not a tab). This is an incredible waste of screen real estate, to have a single tab consuming an entire row... so irritating!

Firefox didn't used to do this; can you tell which older version that I can use that doesn't have this behavior?

Thanks...
