Every couple of days the News Sites I have saved to my Bookmarks Toolbar cease to function and I have to delete the icons and then save the Bookmarks to the Toolbar AGAIN! Having to do this on such a frequent basis defeats the purpose of a "Toolbar"!!

As the title indicates, Firefox 151.0.2 64-bit Menu-Bar Bookmarks links redirect incorrectly. After making the menu bar visible when you click Bookmarks, then Manage you are redirected to Bookmarks --> Search; when you click Bookmarks, then Search Bookmarks you are redirected to Bookmarks --> Recently Visited on the URL bar.

Greetings. Have Windows 11 Home . I have noticed in the last month that when I click on the star that Firefox is not saving my bookmarks. I have searched online for resolution to this problem to no avail. I am up to date on my version of Firefox . Could someone please provide the steps necessary to get this feature back. I have used Firefox as my primary browser for decades and the bookmark feature has always worked fine . Thank you in advance for your assistance .

After the latest software upgrade my bookmarks stopped working when clicked upon. All of them now have something similar to a globe on the left of each bookmark. last night I re-loaded some of my bookmarks and the worked as long as I remained on Firefox. Returning this morning, they all have these globes on the left, and no longer work when clicked upon.

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.

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!

• 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.

All of a sudden I cannot save bookmarks. Neither the instruction "To bookmark a page, just click on the star in the address bar." or using the "Bookmark Current tab..." in the Bookmarks menu do anything. Trying either method just sits there and does nothing.

After creating yesterday a new Folder, today is not in the Bookmarks under the Star. Under three bars, Bookmarks, Manage bookmarks it shows there the web pages I put there yesterday. What is going on?
