I have a new MacBook and have restored most info from my old MacBook via Time Machine, but not Firefox. I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox. I would like to get the (many many) bookmarks that I had on my old MacBook. I have a Time Machine backup from that computer. However, I can't find the Firefox bookmarks. Per the instructions below, in my Time Machine backup I looked in Library > Application Support, but found no FIREFOX folder there. Can anyone tell me where to find my profile > bookmarks?
Thank you!
Finding your profile without opening Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
Click the Finder icon in the dock. On the menu bar, click the Go menu, hold down the option or alt key and select Library. A window will open containing your Library folder. Open the Application Support folder, then open the Firefox folder, and then the Profiles folder. Your profile folder is within this folder. If you only have one profile, its folder would have "default" in the name.

Deleting bookmarks folder does not actually delete bookmarks

I have split my default Firefox into two separate profiles, one for me, one for my partner. In the default profile, we spent lots of time organizing the bookmarks into two folders, one for each of us. Then I made two copies of the profile folder, named them, and created new profiles by editing the profiles.ini file. This worked fine. We now have a working profile each, and the original default profile as a backup. So each of us opens our new Firefox profile and wants to delete the bookmarks that are not ours. We delete the folder. But all the bookmarks are still there. What has gone wrong here? Surely we don't have to delete them one at a time?

I am running Firefox 70.0.1 (64 bit) on Win10. I assume most of my problem started after being updated to this Firefox version.
I have hundreds, if not thousands of bookmarks and have been running Firefox since its inception. I constantly import my bookmarks when I go from one machine to a new one over the years.
Because of the volume of bookmarks I have, I keep my most regularly used bookmarks at the top so when this happened, I noticed immediately since I could not find my most active ones.
I went to Firefox "Show all bookmarks" and did a restore from a few days prior and it seemed to be OK.
I shut down last night and when I restarted this morning. They were again shuffled, seemingly somewhat randomly.
Some time ago I noticed that my very long list had duplicated itself as if taking the whole list and appending it to the bottom of the list in the same order but since everything was there and in order I figured I would fix that some time in the future and never got around to it. Now I'm noticing that my bookmark folders have duplicated lists of their folders and sub-folders duplicated within the folder.
Is there a limit that I reached which is causing corruption and duplication or is it something else.
I am very hesitant to take some steps for fear of losing the whole bookmarks database but I have to do something.
Any safe ideas? Anyone having any similar issues?

My bookmarks and folders with bookmarks have started to disappear. I think it started when I added my cellphone to sync. I have over 3000 bookmarks, so it will take me many hours to try to recover these from an older backup, because I can't do a direct restore, because I've added more bookmarks since I discovered they started to disappear for me . And I have all my bookmarks lying in the "Bookmark menu" Why is this happening?
I've tried to solve it by importing the older backup which is an html file, but it settles as its own "bookmark menu", and using "cut and paste" all these bookmarks take too long, and Firefox's built-in editor for bookmarks is a joke. Have also looked through a lot of different tips here to find a solution, but find nothing that helps. Is there any "Bookmark manager" program that can be used?

A "bookmark's location" ought to show its location on my browser, rather than the PAGE'S ONLINE ADDRESS. If someone has a webpage bookmarked, then why would he/she need its URL? But that person might be going howdy-rowdy trying to find a bookmark in his/her own browser's folders (don't ask me how I know).

Add a column to the bookmark library that indicates the folder where the bookmark is located. For example, in the screen shot (bookmark1), for the last bookmark, have a column that will show the location (NOT URL) of which folder(s) that bookmark is in. Based on the second screenshot (bookmark2), the folder is 'Home\Time Wasters\'. 'Home\Time Wasters\' would be in the 'Bookmark Folder' column, that would need to be added. See bookmark3.

This has been an issue for quite sometime, could actually be a year or two possibly longer.
The favicons also work fine on my iPhone ios 13.

I want to bookmark 10 selected history pages. I selected them, and right-click gives me the context menu as shown on the attached screen shot. But selecting "Bookmark Pages" does not work. Only individual pages selected this way will bookmark. And the option there "Open all in tabs" works fine, and I can then bookmark the 10 open tabs. But that wastes my time and bandwidth, and supposing I want to bookmark hundreds of history pages? Opening them all in tabs would break the machine.

I hate it when a Bookmark disappears that is an important one and takes a lot of time to try to find it. I don't remember IE11 having this problem. This shouldn't recur. How can I quickly find a Bookmark folder titled "Glyphosate" that is a subfolder of a Bookmark folder titled, "Herbicides, Surfactants, Etc" in the parent folder titled "From Internet Explorer"? If I do a search for the word Glyphosate, it appears to find the individual bookmarks but if I hover over it or right click on it, no path is shown. So I have no idea where the Glyphosate folder is in my Bookmarks.
Thanks

I recently had to wipe my MacBook Air clean thus prompting me to download Firefox - version 70.01 (64-bit). I set up all of my work websites, history, passwords, emails, etc., but every time I close the browser and try to open it again, nothing is saved. I've tried several times and I am at a loss. Yes, I have created a Firefox account, and even this won't leave me logged in if I close the browser. I have to start over every time. Any advice?

I have -lots- of toolbar bookmarks. I remove all the text from bookmarks, leaving just the icons so takes less space. I depend on the site's icon to identify bookmarks, but many sites, all with their own custom icons, refuse to use it, opting instead for the default "globe" thing. I want to fix that, but despite many searches I find no help on the web. This problem has continued through many Firefox updates, including the most recent.
So, how do I force bookmarks to use the unique, site-specific icons? For example, Reddit.

Why is the new default behavior to create a new profile? I was just curious, as I've been helping others to migrate their profiles all day. Sync is not something I am interested in as I prefer to keep my browsing history to myself, IE on this physical laptop, as much as possible, especially at work as per policy.
Old places.sqllite works fine in the new profile dir, so everything appears to have been compatible to simply migrate the old profile...
Was just curious about the rationale. Still the best browser there is.

To whom it may concern...
I would hereby most willingly like to request aid for the following issue: since over a week, I can no longer find saved bookmarks through the "Search bookmarks" bar. For instance, I have a bookmark titled "Snooker livestream" but it does not appear when I type "snooker" in the "Search bookmarks" bar on top. Furthermore, I have also discovered that I am no longer able to remove bookmarks by right-clicking on them and pressing "Delete". I have attempted to do so when my account was synced as well as when it was not synced. I have read that it could be a "syncing" issue, but that does not appear to resolve the trouble.
Thank you in advance!
