Great Firefox community—I’m at my wit's end with my bookmarks. When I save a website or video to the toolbar, it only shows me an icon and text (like "YouTube"). I have over 70 music videos saved—for heaven's sake, I can't remember which is which. When I'm looking for a specific song, I have to click on every single one because I can't see anything other than the icon and the text.

Could you make it possible to save or add a video thumbnail? It would be much easier for me to find things if I could see the image from the video. It doesn't need to be an animated video—that would take up too much storage space. Just displaying the image from the video or song would be really helpful. Alternatively, you could tweak the bookmarks so you can see more than just text and an icon.

Thanks

Is there any easy way to access the specific categories of bookmarks I had previously?

I have not been able to easily access my bookmarks easily like before. I have multiple bookmarks by category, but there does not seem to be a way to access the different categories currently. I have Windows 11. I have the most current firefox browser I think. I did find from searching support that I could type Ctrl Shift O and scroll down which gives a long list to try to access them, but that is very cumbersome and slow. Do I have to do that every time I want to go to specific bookmarks? The bookmarks that show on the overflow or near the top of the screen are not useful, but the ones I use every day cannot be accessed easily, but are way down a long list. Why is the current version hiding all the bookmark categories?

When I start Firefox, open the application menu, and select Bookmarks, about 50 Bookmarks are displayed under "Recent bookmarks". Many of the bookmarks are not recent. Some are months old and several might be years old.

I've used Firefox for years and only noticed this because I'm trying to help a friend who is having trouble with and old Windows 10 laptop. I installed Firefox 1560.1 (64bit) and added a lot of folders and bookmarks using "Manage bookmarks" or Ctrl-Shift-o. It currently only has 42 bookmarks displayed under "Recent Bookmarks" because I started Rt-clicking and deleting them before I figured that this deletes the bookmark that I had added to a folder in addition to removing it from the Recent bookmark list.

I feel this feature (Recent Bookmarks) totally negates the privacy and security that the Clear Browsing data and Never remember history options USED to give me.

When I reinstalled Firefox, my categorized bookmarks were no longer visible. I re-categorized them using "Manage Bookmarks" and it was then Bookmarks Menu. But when I opened Firefox to use it, there was no "Bookmark Menu" and only "Bookmarks", where they appear but not categorized. Where do I find "Bookmarks Menu"?

Having ManagedBookmarks show up in address bar suggestions

In `policies.json`, I use this: ``` { "policies": { "SearchBar": "unified", "ManagedBookmarks": [ { "name": "curl", "url": "https://curl.se/" … (read more)

In `policies.json`, I use this:

``` {

 "policies": {
   "SearchBar": "unified",
   "ManagedBookmarks": [
     {
       "name": "curl",
       "url": "https://curl.se/"
     }
   ]
 }

} ```

However, when typing `curl` into the address bar, the bookmark is not suggested. When I visit `curl.se` and manually add it as a bookmark, Firefox does suggest it in the address bar afterwards.

Is there a way to replicate the latter behavior with the former mechanism? The Bookmarks policy did this, but it appears to be deprecated.

Hi All

I use a PC, Windows 11. All my bookmark titles still show, but when I click nothing happens, does not open, does not go to new page, nothing! This is now the second time on two different PC'S. on the first, I reloaded FireFox, nothing changed, so I delete complete (uninstalled) and reinstalled a fresh one. Of course I lost all my bookmarks!! Now, the exact thing has happened on my main PC, and I do not want to loose all my bookmarks! I can't even export them to a different browser!
