Hi, we use Firefox 128.9.0esr (64bit) on about 6000 workstations. We redirect the stored bookmarks on a personal network drive for each user. For that we use these settings via Windows group policy:

browser.bookmarks.file = P:\Firefox\Bookmarks browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML = true browser.places.importBookmarksHTML = true

For some time the automatic export/import with that settings above does not work any more. When I close Firefox on workstation A, the bookmarks seem to be exported correctly in that export-file (check the file via editor). But when I use another workstation B an start Firefox, the exported file does not import on startup. But this worked fine in the past.

I found out, that the switch "browser.places.importBookmarksHTML" is obviously automtically set to false when I have startet Firefox (checking with about:config). I dont know if it is correct.

Any suggestions? Maybe it's a new bug?

Thanks Malte

I replied on the mailing list, but I'll reply here as well :)

We've always set it to false at startup

This code is from 2019.

You need to lock it via group policy so that it always stays true.

(I verified this works)

The original intent of importBookmarksHTML was to be a one time thing.
