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.

bold textEvery time I start the cimpouter I lose my bookmarks how can I avoid this issue. Each time i takes about two hours messing about to get them back

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.

What happens here is my bookmarks still show on the bar, but they show as grey with no color and the URL is blank. I can restore them using Bookmarks/Manage Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Restore, but this is happening at least once a week on both my and my wifes HP Desktops. I am wondering if it may be related to Iolo System Mechanic, which we both use to keep our computers "clean"?

Hi there,

I love that anything I save in my bookmark folders syncs across desktop and the android app. However, whenever I bookmark a page on the android app these days, it always saves it to a specific folder. It used to save it to whichever folder I last bookmarked a page to, but it doesn't do that anymore; it's like it's got stuck and by default now, only saves to a folder that I rarely want to save to. That means that every time I bookmark a page, I have to edit the bookmark and save it to the folder I actually want to save it to.

Now, the way it worked before, if the folder I wanted to save the bookmark to wasn't the last folder I'd saved to, I'd have had to edit the bookmark. But most of the time, I was saving to the same folder as the previous time, so that was fine. But that's not the case now.

So in summary: I have a folder I occasionally save to and that is now the default that Firefox Android saves my bookmarks to. I have another folder (called Books) which I use 90% of the time. So now, I have to edit at least 90% of my bookmarked pages so that they end up in my Books folder, whereas relatively recently, they would have saved there automatically (seeing as Books would likely have been the most recent folder I'd saved a bookmarked page to). So: is there anyway to change the default folder for bookmarks please? Many thanks.

Until recently, if I wanted to bookmark a web page, FF would default to the last bookmark folder I had used. Now, it keeps defaulting to one particular folder for no apparent reason and it chooses a folder I almost never use. Is this an unannounced new feature - a default folder? I'm running the latest FF update on a Samsung phone.

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.

I can"t access my individual bookmarks. One day ago, Sunday, April 5, 20226m I was able to access my list of "other bookmarks" and click on whatever I wantded. Today, April 6, 2026 I cant do that

First, I am technologically illiterate, so my terminology will be imperfect. Until today, there was a second line in my Google browser that listed my favorite sites I visited daily. It was just below the Google Tab line (the very top line). That line is now gone and now I have to look up the web addresses in my bookmark thing off to the right. How can I get that favorite sites line thingy back?

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?

you have highjacked my computer and I am tired of the BS. I had favorites set for years how I wanted them and a few months ago and now they change everyday to some BS I do not want listed as a favorite I do not know how to stop it, Will you help me???

• OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (x64) Version 22H2 (build 19045.6466) • Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) • Thunderbird 140.8.1esr (64-bit)

I guess now a Firefox “update” includes making bookmarks to disappear from the toolbar . . . go figure.

Have mucked around in their “go to about:profiles” routine and have found my bookmark library still exists; however . . .

1. The BOOKMARKS drop-down MANAGE BOOKMARKS shows all is in order, so apparently I don’t need to “import” anything from anywhere; 2. The bookmarks do not appear in the BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR; 3. VIEW drop-down ➜ TOOLBARS ➜ BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR ➜ ALWAYS SHOW is all as it should be; 4. BUT: No bookmarks appear in the TOOLBAR where they’ve resided comfortably for years . . .

SO: how does one magically make them reappear in the TOOLBAR where they belong?

Many thanks. Appreciated.

I thought I would report that after updating Firefox to version 149.0, I had no audio initially in YouTube videos but before I had NO problem with any. For a Firefox video sound example, the video played audio fine at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtOGa5M8AuU. My computer audio worked fine in Windows System. I did not change any YouTube audio setting in the videos. Audio is not blocked. After clicking on more videos and trying to play them, the audio is now getting back to the way it used to work although the audio setting are still the same. This is really weird and has wasted some of my time.

Also, after the Firefox update, now I cannot drag and drop a URL into a Bookmarks folder from the URL bar or whatever it's called after doing a Search with DuckDuckGo or with Google with the "Search and turn off Show search terms in the address bar on results pages option" turned off! I did not change any setting in Firefox to cause this issue.

I now wish I had not have updated Firefox! Please resolve dragging URL issue and hopefully whatever caused the audio problem will not occur again.
