Firefox gemenskapsforum

Right click does not have the move option; never did. Using Outlook "on the web". (Twice just recently my keyboard quit responding and I had to open Safe mode and restart to make it work. 2nd time lost all open windows/tabs). When I opened Firefox next day, opened library, all my folders were gone. Later they did come back; unsure how/why. I have tried click on bookmark every which way. Will not move into library folder. I may have changed a setting unintentionally.

 I did go into FireFox Safe mode.  Didn't help.

Hello. How can I remove all those unwanted sections clogging up my Bookmarks list? In order, they are the View bookmarks sidebar, Search bookmarks, Manage bookmarks, Bookmarks toolbar, and Other bookmarks.

There is already a Manage bookmarks item at the bottom of the list, and so all those at the top of the bookmarks are just wasting space on the screen.

There is also the Extensions icon on the location bar which is of no use. I have shifted it to the left next to the Reload icon, but would like to remove it completely.

I'll check back tomorrow and see if anyone has any idea about these simple user interface adjustments.

Thank You.

Hi, I've spent hours and days trying to delete the contents of Firefox's Other Bookmarks folder. I've asked questions and read many replies. I'm only getting suggestions on: how to remove the Other Bookmarks folder from the Bookmarks Toolbar - fairly obvious:) - also that to delete a bookmark just highlight and delete, or CtrlA to select multiple links and delete again fairly obvious. I've also seen long lists of Firefox coding changes I can check and/or apply.

Actually I want Firefox to just work, and NOT save every single website, every single page within a website that I look at, every search I make, and every download I make - as a 'bookmark' If I want to have a folder of unsorted bookmarks I can make one in Bookmarks Menu - in fact I have, it's called Recent tabs for ref, and it contains bookmarks that I'VE chosen to save. I know some people may find Other Bookmarks useful but I want to choose what I bookmark; all the bookmarks I've saved are then saved in named folders.

My problem is this: after using Firefox for years, the other bookmarks folder is now so huge that it's not possible to import all bookmarks into another browser; editing (deleting) the contents of the Other Bookmarks folder is taking ages, I can highlight up to about 500 max links at a time, this takes about 10 mins for the operation to complete and the CPU usage is massive and causing high temperature warnings.

I hadn't realised that webpages were being saved without me choosing to do so - I've always used History for random stuff I may want to look at again. The upshot is that I noticed the other day that Other Bookmarks contained over 18000 links - to practically every site I've ever been to, and transferred from one laptop to another over the years. So fullmarks Firefox for the integrity of the bookmarks database, but please, is there a fix to quickly delete the Other bookmarks folder and its contents, and just stop it from saving stuff I don't want? People seem to have been asking this for years, could we have an answer please? Before my PC burns down? Thank you

For two days now I have not been able to create a bookmark, can't see any of my previously saved bookmarks, have no bookmark bar. I have been going in circles in my search of community forum. I have tried every suggestion I have found. I wish I could delete everything related to Firefox and start over, but when I uninstall then reinstall, it says I have a previous version of Firefox. I have already deleted cookies and all Firefox files. Nothing is working. I have been using Firefox for over 15 years. All the steps I used to take to show the bookmarks bar fails to produce a bookmark bar. HELP, PLEASE!

I inadvertently created a duplicate Other Bookmarks folder at the level of the Bookmarks Toolbar and I'm not able to remove it. In fact, I tried deleting all of the bookmarks under this duplicate to see if that would allow me to delete it, however, that removed all of my bookmarks, including from the original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder and I had to restore them from backup.original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder

Please let me know what I can do to eliminate the duplicated folder without affecting the entries in my original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder.

Thank you,

John Hart

All my organized bookmarks were to the left of my screen but now are no longer there. I can find my bookmarks under a different location but they are very hard to find and no longer organized under the folder's I created. How doe I get them all back to the left of my screen?

Thanks! Lee

I reinstalled windows yesterday. When I installed firefox and signed it, everything was fine. However, this morning, it seems to have removed 80% of my bookmarks. When I try to restore from the bookmarks yesterday, it just gives me the ones that I have this morning. I had tons and tons of resource bookmarks for my work that would be almost impossible to re-find in some cases due to the current state of search engines. Is there any way to salvage them? It seems like sync believes they never existed, but it DID sync them yesterday??? Please help.

When my Mac got an automatic system upgrade to 15.1.1 I lost everything. I was able to recover all my files but I lost the foxfire bookmarks and bookmark bar. How can I recover them?

I had to re-install Windows and so I downloaded Firefox again and logged in to my account. I had sync turned on with bookmarks enabled but it wasn't syncing my bookmarks to my computer. I double checked that these sync settings were enabled on the Firefox app on my phone and I tried syncing multiple times. It transferred my passwords and other data but not my bookmarks. So I logged out of Firefox on my computer and phone, then logged back in and synced them together only to find that Firefox deleted all my bookmarks from my account completely (now they don't show up on my phone either). I looked at the forums and saw that they make separate profiles that I could access with about:profiles so I opened that and only saw 2 profiles, neither of which have my bookmarks. Is there a way to recover these since Firefox deleted them out of no where?

So lately can't save bookmarks anymore not even to anywhere, what happened with version 115 running windows 7? Tried even saving all bookmarks and still nothing, even extensions won't save bookmarks...
