How can I delete all my bookmarks and start over? When I set up my new desktop, I imported my bookmarks and they got all messed up. I need a clean slate.

I went to save a bookmark in a folder and saw the folder was missing. Then I noticed some things didn't seem right so I tried putting folders in the right place. That is when I noticed that when I moved one folder, several others would just move somewhere else! I could move one folder down in a list, then some - but not all - would jump to a new place in the order. An important folder is missing. So, what causes this to start happening? Also, how can I recover my missing bookmarks from Windows Backup? And is there any way to know which bookmarks and folders were deleted? I have recently added some important ones, so I don't want to delete the existing ones and restore the old ones, nor do I want to simply restore the old ones in the existing hierarchy and then have gazillions of duplicates. Explanations and help is appreciated. Thanks!

Very long-standing issue that keeps getting closed without resolution. My bookmarks won't stay sorted in the Bookmark Menus folder. The last solution I saw is a broken link having to do with corrupt 'Places'. Doesn't work anyway. I only have another device syncing with Firefox and not very often because I seldom use that laptop. Always this desktop.
I do have a lot of bookmarks over the years and it just keeps getting worse. If I Manage Bookmarks and sort them, they only stay sorted as long as I open that window separately. When I close it, the bookmarks are unsorted again. When will Firefox fix this? It's leaving a mess that is making my bookmarks unusable. When I click on that tab, I expect to see a bunch of folders, then files. Instead, I see files, then folders somewhere in the middle, mixed with other folders I don't even use, then a bunch more files. Sort by name doesn't show up as an option if I right click in the middle of all the files I see.
I have tried to delete those files, but they won't stay deleted. It's pulling them from somewhere, but I don't know where that 'somewhere' is. Does anybody have an idea how to contact Firefox tech support for an answer? Nobody seems to know what's going on with this issue. I won't list all my bookmarks, because some are more personal than others. This is just an idea. Please be nice. I've been using Firefox forever and a day.

When I click on the Bookmark tab and move my cursor down the list, I used to be able to hover over a bookmark and a second later I would get a small "pop-up" that would have the complete URL in it. Lately, if I hover over a bookmark, I still get the small window, but it is blank. I've had this issue for several months, thinking that an update would fix the problem, but it hasn't. I have the current version of Firefox. The image attached shows a screenshot of the issue. I am hovered on "Craigslist". You can see the blank "pop-up" as indicated by the arrow. This is on a desktop version, by the way.

Hello, I have already googled and found two sets of instructions for doing this via a userChrome.css file. But I could not get either to work.
So am I doing something wrong or has the code changed? Or alternatively, is there another method for enabling the 'edit URL' box within the add / edit bookmarks editor?
Here's what I did: I changed the about:config setting: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true
I created a folder named "chrome" within my profile folder (the same profile folder that contains, for example, "places.sqlite").
Inside the chrome folder I placed a file named "userChrome.css" (and yes the file extension is "css" and not, for example, txt).
However, placeing either of the following two pieces of code inside this userChrome.css file did nothing (and yes Firefox was restarted after each change).
1st code:
/*** Reveal URL box in Add/Edit Bookmark drop-down ***/
visibility: visible !important;
}
2nd code:
/*** Reveal URL box in Add/Edit Bookmark drop-down ***/
visibility: visible !important;
}

I have a login screen that is book marked in Firefox. When I use this on my PC (Windows 11), it correctly displays and then Norton Password Manager prompts to complete the id/password. However in Firefox ios, when the screen appears, it is preloaded. I dont know where it get this data from, but either the website doesnt allow it, or the password entered is wrong. Either way I have to delete the password and re-enter it to continue.
WHere is it getting this autofill from and why does it do it in ios but not the PC version?

So I patiently shut my mouth last month after I was told the "devs" are looking into why the bookmarks reset to the top of the folder each time they're used. Waited for the next update. The problem still exists. Nothing has changed.
The oft-cited bug report refers to INTERMITTENT behavior. This happens All.The.Flipping.Time. That bug report isn't worth squat. And to try and file a new one with the accurate behavior frequency, it gets dismissed as a duplicate by someone who apparently loves mindlessly scrolling bookmarks all freakin day.
When is this issue going to be resolved?

By the way, the inability to mark a page within a PWA website sucks rocks. Developers, please give us a choice to install PWAs or just use page shortcuts if possible.
