For some reason the little star icon at the far right of the URL address/search bar that indicates if the site is in your bookmarks is not showing up. Is there a way to get it back other then doing a refresh or reinstalling Firefox? I do see the star when I right click on the window to bring up the context-menu.

I have a large amount of bookmarks that I keep in Firefox, and they are divided into folders, so that I know where they are, and what they are for.... Unfortunately, some of those folders are now empty, with no bookmarks in them anymore, and I cannot figure why this has happened. I have certain folders that have several internal folders in them, and they were all full of bookmarks that I needed, but now almost 3/4 of those folders are empty. Has Firefox randomly deleting bookmarks now for some idiotic reason, and if so, how do I get them all back where they belong?? I swear, I am 2 steps away from giving up on Firefox completely now, because very time I blink, something else is not working right, and now I am not even allowed to keep bookmarks. What group of monkeys has taken over the Firefox browser project, and why can't they keep what used to be one of the best browsers out, working correctly?? Can Mozilla PLEASE get their browser back up to snuff, and stop making it fall apart?? I don't want to switch to chrome, or any other browser, but Mozilla's incompetence with Firefox, is going to end up forcing me to!!
How can I get a two-line bookmark toolbar?

There are many sites I visit regularly and would like a 2 line bookmark toolbar, (entirely separate from regular bookmarks that are stored in a different area and in their own folders). The bookmark toolbar is very convenient, but would be far better if it could be increased to 2 or even 3 rows, to avoid the hassle of clicking through folders to find my most commonly visited sites. Using Firefox 70.0.1 on Windows 7 desktop computer, 64 bit. Thanks to anyone who can solve this!
Latest couple of versions of 69 & 70, I can not organize or delete bookmarks. Something has changed just recently. I have tried all of the suggestions.
drag & drop is broke, can't delete bookmarks, currently @ 70.0.1 64 bit W7 pro
Firefox 70 popup blocker icon has overwritten the URL drag and drop icon. Means I can no longer drag urls to desktop.

I answered a question about making Firefox my default browser. [For some reason Edge managed to sneak onto my HP Windows 10 desktop, but I always use Firefox, so I clicked "yes" to the question would I like Firefox to be my default browser.
Now it is, but now my whole set of bookmarks are wiped clean. I have 75 book marks that I use all the time. Many I won't know how to reconstruct because they are there as bit of a to-do list.

Lost all bookmarks in re-start and none of the "help" topics are helpful!
When Firefox updated and re-started all of my bookmarks are gone. I need to know how to get them back. I only have one profile.

I click on the star to bookmark the Gators Softball twitter, facebook, and fall schedules and nothing at all happens. Usually a box drops down if you want to edit what to call the bookmark. But nothing at all happens now. What is going on? How can I fix this? Help! It used to work, even just last week I bookmarked something I think.

Yesterday, I accessed an old PC I have, not used for some time. Firefox suggested to reset itself as it hadn't been used for some time. I answered "yes". When I opened firefox again in my current PC I saw that several bookmarks had been synced with the old PC bookamarks, so I lost all the recent bookmarks in my new PC. How can I revover them ?

I have tried everything from uninstalling to re-installing firefox also deleting old Files leftover from uninstalling. tried add ons disabled, updated windows. Nothing has helped. The explorer box will not pop up to choose my bookmarks file to restore. Nothing happens. Also the Backup bookmarks function does not work.
I carefully curate my bookmarks, only to have them multiply uncontrollably periodically with multiples of the same bookmark scattered in a very long list.

I use Windows, Mac, and various flavors of Linux. A Firefox account should keep bookmarks the same across platforms, but occasionally-to-frequently the episode described above occurs, and bookmarks fall like a rainstorm in the sidebar, unorganized and in a quantity that is distressing, since now I have to start deleting again, because once it happens in, say, Windows, it gets carried to every instance elsewhere. It's like the ghosts of every bookmark I ever had comes back to haunt in multiples scattered all over the place. Is there a way to glue this stuff down so it doesn't happen again? I'm at a loss.

I am unable to delete bookmarks. Not with the Delete function on any menu, and not by dragging off the Bookmarks Menu list in Library to the sidebar (which used to work). I have used Cookie5 (now disabled), which bloggers say corrupts places.sqlite. I have tried these things: I deleted the places file and restarted. This wiped bookmarks but not their folders. 2. I went to Time Machine and replaced current places file with older ones. Bookmarks returned but still no delete option. 3. I tried to restore bookmarks from backups. All JSON backups must be corrupted, because none will open. And the Export and Backup functions do not work either. 4. I checked Places Database to Verify Integrity. No solution there, but readout is below. 5. I tried to create a new profile, set up an account and tried to sync. No luck. So I copied an older places.sqlite file into the new Profile: the bookmarks were there, but in the new profile the problem of deleting them remained. I am stumped.

I have had lots of problems with my pc and this morning when I was trying to get it started I was offered a "Refresh your Pc"option which I did, My Mozilla Firefox browser seems to have disappeared since then since then and I was offered to open a Firefox account which I did thinking that would get my bookmarks(or Favourites) back but it hasn't. I think this new account does not recognise me. I don't have any bookmarks or favourites on any other browser. Is it possible to retrieve my oroginal Mozilla Firefox account which has got dozens of Bookmarks on it for me ? Thank you.

The Firefox New Bookmark dialog window stopped saving the last used Folder, as any dialog window is supposed to save its last state, long time ago. Then it lost the URL field, the most important field one needs to edit when saving a bookmark. But now, the final straw, it contains a large screenshot of the page to be bookmarked, which is available, anyway, in the browser window, and can't be hidden from about:config. Can anyone please explain what is going on at Firefox?
