Firefox Support Forum

Basically what the title says. My bookmarks aren't saving in the right location. No matter which folder I select in the editor, it always saves them to the default menu location.

Just downloaded and installed Firefox 119.0 When I CLICK ON A FLODER IN BOOKMARKS THE FOLDER DISAPPERS AND LEFT WITH A BLANK SPACE AND THE BOOKMAKS STILL APPEAR IN THAT FOLDER

Hi, how to automatically save or "backup" bookmarks to my account?

So that let's suppose I go to another computer, open up my account, and all my bookmarks will be there?

My computer got reset and all data deleted, and when I logged into FF again, all the bookmarks were gone.

I don't want to manually backup my bookmarks, it should be done automatically and connected to the account and stored on the FF server.

How to do this, is there even a way?

I'm looking for some specific explanation of how Firefox browser bookmarks sync handles a situation where a new device with no or different bookmarks is added to an older, original device with its own synced set of bookmarks.

Do the newer bookmarks on the newer device merge with those on the original older device, or do the newer ones REPLACE the older ones on the original device? In my experience, the newer ones sometimes at least seem to replace the older ones, which is not the behavior I'd want.

And, is there any way to adjust just how the syncing occurs in terms of merging vs. replacing?

Thanks!

I just posted a question re: my pull-down bookmarks menu disappearing. I stated in the question that my bookmarks themselves weren't gone, just the menu. I stand corrected. They are indeed "gone", i.e. completely inaccessible.

I have a PC desktop and laptop. Bookmarks have always been synced in the past. I have just been away for 6 weeks and added and changed many bookmarks on the laptop. I confess I do have a lot built up over the years. When I came back home I expected to sync as in the past without problem to the desktop. However sync wouldn't happen although both were ON and on same wi-fi. So I restored into the desktop a json file I had made on the laptop just before coming home. I also have a json file made on the desktop just before leaving.

Disaster. While all the bookmarks may be there on the desktop (I don't know) all the folders are now empty and all bookmarks are simply in one huge unusable list in the bookmarks menu. Same result with the desktop json file. It would take days to put them all back into folders one by one. Having tried various things now my laptop is the same !

Why did this happen ? How do I get the bookmarks back into all the folders ?

Today firefox prompted me to "refresh" itself. After doing so, the icon is now blank and won't open saying it's damaged or incomplete. I restarted my mac to see if it might come back, but I continue to get the same error message that firefox is damaged or incomplete.

I downloaded firefox again, but didn't replace the original one on my computer and while it works. I've lost ALL my bookmarks. I waded through ways to get them back but don't believe I ever made a manual copy of my bookmarks.

Is there any way to restore them? I hadn't used a firefox account before either but just made one today.

Thanks

Struggling with bookmarks

My Bookmarks are missing from the side of my screen where they have been residing for almost ever. I have tried everything to get them back where they belong to no avail. I surely hope that someone can help me get them back. Thank you.

I have just moved from Edge to Firefox as my default browser. I have successfully imported my Favorites from Edge. However, I have two issues that I have not been able to remedy.

Now that I have imported into Bookmarks, some items are shown under Bookmarks while other are shown under Other Bookmarks. Is there a way to merge the two, or will I have to move them individually?

Also, is it possible to have only my most used items show on the toolbar individually from left to right, and still show the Bookmark icon where everything else is listed on the right?

Bookmarks that I have added do not show up in the Bookmarks Menu folder that I have chosen using Triple bar menu_Bookmarks_Bookmark Current Tab. I have taken the search bookmarks to find the correct bookmark but this is getting tedious. I have also discovered that the folders located in the Sidebar Listing don't agree with the Bookmarks Menu on the toolbar.

A sample of four folders: FOLDER Qty Per Sidebar Qty Per Bookmark Menu A 16 6 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) B 9 5 (Some but not all in the sidebar belong here.) C 8 8 Hooray a good match! D (Other BM) 29 25

Some of the entries in the sidebar have no relation to the folder subject. While I may have put some entries in the wrong place the two folders with the same name should have the same bookmarks displayed. At least that is my expectation. This happened soon after an update.

There are no incorrect entries in the Bookmarks Menu bar.

Hey there, My PC just automatically updated Firefox for me today, but now all of my bookmarks are completely gone. I've checked to make sure a new profile wasn't created, but I still have only the one default one. I've confirmed that all my credentials are still remembered when navigating manually to the same site... just zero bookmarks, and no options available to restore then via an older backup, as Firefox failed to make any too.

Any recommendations?

I am using Firefox portable. I received a prompt that an update was available, so I downloaded it. Now, ALL of my bookmarks disappeared. The version it downloaded is 105.0.3

I'm VERY not happy ! * I had 100's of bookmarks !! If there had been a way to turn off updates, I would have done it a long time ago.

I assume there isn't any way to retrieve them ??

What have you done, Firefox? Where are my bookmarks? None of the help articles have helped me find them. No "Bookmarks Library" link, no bookmarks button on main page, no "Refresh" option anywhere that I can find....

Opened Firefox this morning around 11 a.m., opened up Firefox. A dialogue box I have never seen before appeared, insisting I set up a "profile". What profile? Why? Why no explanation of why I need a profile, and what the h.... is the difference between the two profiles offered?

When I finally chose "default" for profile (NO idea what that means!), I saw that all my settings are gone and most alarmingly, ALL my bookmarks. HOW do I retrieve them?

I am using a laptop Dell with Windows 10, 64-bit....what else do you need to know?

Really upset with this. Also upset with how difficult it is to find immediate help for Firefox.

AFB.

Hi My browser updated to latest version 100.0.1 but all my opened tabs are missing. And what is more important all my sync bookmarks are also gone. I can note restore any of sync data.

This problem has been reported over and over for over 3 years. Why should the solution be to turn off syncing?

In addition to preventing the problem from occurring, Firefox needs to provide a fix to eliminate duplicate bookmarks in bulk.
