Форум поддержки Firefox для Android

Firefox Sync loaded all of my Bookmarks 4 times so I have this huge list of bookmarks. I want to delete them all and start over. How do I do this without doing it one by one? Also, is there a way to open bookmarks straight from the menu instead of going through several menus to get there.

Firefox - Android I don't seem to have an option to move a bookmark into a new bookmark folder.There is supposed to be an option in the menu (after you click and hold the selected bookmark) but the menu only has 3 options - 'open in new tab  :. open in private tab. :. Delete. '. -. Am I missing something ? Can anyone help

Hi all,

A few days ago my phone got stolen and with that thousands of Firefox bookmarks.

IF I hadn't had a tablet with which I sync those bookmarks that is, so all is good. But...

I'm planning to get rid of that very tablet and then won't have an other device to sync with any longer. I think that means that if my phone gets stolen next time I have to say goodbye to all Firefox bookmarks as well. But since society is more and more turning into single device use with smartphones becoming so powerful, is there really no way to deal with this? Can Firefox really be the last company on Earth without the ability to back up settings and bookmarks in the cloud? I mean, I'm getting crazy that every single app has it's own cloud backup, but that's still a LOT better than not having the possibility at all - especially for a security/privacy minded company like Mozilla that's... well... crazy...

My question to avoid total failure next time: Is there ANY way I can have those bookmarks exported and/or automatically backed up? Or can I somehow sync them with a non-existing device and then sync back a week later when I have a new phone?

I'm truly struggling with this one as I don't want to part with Firefox after 1.5 decades. However, in the end my bookmarks are more important to me than my browser, so if I HAVE to move on to stay secure then I'm afraid I will have to go that road... :-(

Your help is much appreciated!

I want to add a bookmark to a URL on my android home page. only shortcuts option appears.. and no shortcuts is not what I need/want... also please add more slots to shortcuts, like the entire home screen from firefox browser.

I stupidly exported my Google browser bookmarks to Firefox when setting up on a new device and lost all my firefox bookmarks from all my other devices as a result. I am utterly horrified and freaking out - it's years of bookmarked articles that I'd even organised into folders! Is there any way to get them back?

Immediately after updating Firefox on my Android phone today, all my bookmarks disappeared on my phone! To clarify, these were not the same bookmarks as on my computer. I just started my Firefox account via phone a few minutes ago. I need to get my Android phone bookmarks back! Help!

I am using collections (save to collection) but as I now have twenty the old collections are deleted automatically - where qre my elder collections - can i find them somewhere on my android device or are they lost forever?

So my bookmarks from Mozilla Firefox on my Microsoft Windows laptop aren't showing when I log in with the same account using Mozilla Firefox on my Android phone.

Am I missing something? Anyone else have this problem? I'm open to suggestions..

I cannot rename saved Bookmarks. I can go through the process but after finishing, the Bookmark is NOT renamed in the Bookmarks list.

This is very inconvenient. This needs to be fixed. I am using a Samsung Galaxy A12 phone.

Another unrelated question is concerning coping and pasting URLS. I can't paste them elsewhere but I guess that needs to be addressed separetly.

I have no idea how or when my Android got an old version of my bookmarks, but they've been somewhat useful though more and more out of date. They don't sync, and I've never seen instructions that are clear enough to feel confident trying. I finally tried tonight and botched it pretty badly. Instead of my Android syncing with my desktop bookmarks, my desktop suddenly contained a whole bunch of old bookmarks, but they didn't exactly match the old set on my phone either. And now my phone has some very new bookmarks, but it also has folders I long ago deleted that WERE NOT THERE before I tried to sync today. So I have no clue obviously.

I did just revert to yesterday's backup on my desktop ... but that doesn't fix my Android. Can someone help me sync ONCE in the right direction and then set this to happen automatically going forward?

Hi.

Is here a way to access desktop's bookmarks on Android w/o this long path: Bookmarks -> Desktop Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Toolbar -> my_bookmarks

Why it is impossible to get them as it is in Chrome: Bookmarks -> my_bookmarks ?

Please let us rearrange top sites and bookmarks on mobile!

Yes, there isn't room for everything on the small mobile screen. But that makes it *more* important, not less, for users to be able to sort things as they want. Having them listed haphazardly in the order I stumbled across them is like Venice's addressing system, where houses are numbered more or less randomly within each neighborhood.

@Seburo, what is the official take on this, other than "not currently available but may be added in the future"?

Please help me get my bookmarks restored. It says it is version 102. There is an update that I don't like with a new homepage and my bookmarks are gone. This is very upsetting to me.

The Bookmarks option cannot be found on the 3-points menu, con trary to the following help topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-bookmark-folders-firefox-android#w_create-a-new-bookmark-folder There are several options like the following three, but Bookmarks is not there: Select tabs, Share all tabs, Tabs settings, etc.

What is this issue, and how can I manage tabs folders, please? How can tabs folders be managed like making a new tabs folder or rename it?

Hey people,

in a prev version it was possible to open a bookmark from the list, press the back buttonn on the phone and be back in the bookmark list.

This is not possible in the newest version.

Or is there another way to do that, or did i missed a setting?

Thanks and sunny greatings from Vienna.

On my Samsung S7+ tablet, I recently uninstalled FireFox Nightly. I then installed FireFox from the Google play store. Problem is that when FireFox Nightly was uninstalled, all my homepage URL shortcuts went away.

I thought, OK not a major problem because I had all these websites book marked and it would be simple to pull up the web page and then on the 3-dot menu, select “add to homepage”. Well, nothing can be that simple.

The “add to homepage” option was available and worked as I remember it had worked in the past. However, some of the websites did not offer “add to homepage”. Instead, what was offered was “Install”. While this would put a shortcut on the home screen, there was no opportunity to name the shortcut. I “installed” several different websites, all with the same name and icon.

I also noticed that when I opened one of these shortcuts, the web page would display but there was no evidence (menu or search bar, etc.) that it was opened in FireFox.

See the attached jpg for a side-by-side comparison of the 3 dot menu for the differences.

Does anyone have a suggestion to how to have “add to homepage” for all URLs?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
