Why offer pinned tabs if they are going to get lost when you add Firefox to another device or sometimes it just randomly erases all the ones I had booked marked!

Is this something Firefox plans to fix?

If not seems like it is a bad feature to offer if it does not work!

Is there another option that works?

Several weeks ago, accidentally ruined a Win10 system installed on my newest PC built about 10 months ago. Had to reset Windows, so beforehand I copied the C:Windows drive onto a blank HDD and saved it, hoping I could rebuild Firefox and Thunderbird from the profile data on the saved HDD. I had to do this because I discovered that my backup software, which would have fixed everything, was not running correctly for the crashed machine. When I populated the new PC last fall I was able to migrate both Firefox and Thunderbird onto it. It was tedious and I didn't get it right the first couple of times, despite how simple it looks. But it worked eventually.

Tried to restore Thunderbird emails first, with no success. Finally discovered a software package (Thunderbird Migrator) which kinda restored the emails (95%) with help from their TS and another license so they could restore it to my machine lol. Discovered afterwards that the reset Windows installation was corrupt. Not sure if that affected the restore. Used DISM and SFC which now report system OK.

For Firefox, I found a profile I had saved when I first built the machine. I was able to restore that one. Figures since the profile was a mess I cleaned up on the new machine. Found seven other profiles and can't get any of them to work properly. One profile which should have hundreds of bookmarks only presented about a dozen separator lines and nothing else. It made me wonder what could be different. The profile that worked was created on a running machine. All the other profiles do nothing. I can't see why there should be a difference but I am running out of ideas.

Unless the crash corrupted the profiles, shouldn't they work? Found some local computer businesses that offer data recovery services. Do you have any advice on where to get help?

I accidently deleted some bookmarks on my iOS phone and am trying to recover them. Unfortunately, I did not have a firefox account set up, so I was not signed in at the time. Is there any possible way I can still recover the bookmarks?

I had to do a full on reinstall of windows early this morning. Once that was all done I re-downloaded everything I was using before. Once I had installed everything I hopped on FireFox and had started to browse through my bookmarks. I had all of them in one folder but not another in the bookmark sidebar you can open with ctrl+b. So I went to manage bookmarks and went on to import/backup. I had a backup from around 2:30am today and that's the one I had tried using because this was before the time I had started to reinstall windows. I must have looked at something wrong because I have now completely overwritten my backup.

I still have all logins and history from the past 6 months I just lost my bookmarks by overwriting them myself by mistake.

I've tried to go to the bookmark and restore it to a previous version but it doesn't appear to have one.

Just to clear up on the full reinstall I had to completely reformat my drives therefore I no longer had access to any Windows.old folders to go searching through.

I've included a few pictures to help show what I'm looking at whether or not they'll be helpful. I hope I'm not to SoL on this one but if I am it can't be helped.

When setting up a new, replacement PC, I only had an exported bookmarks.html that had *multiples* of my extensive collection of folders, subfolders, etc. Ugh. I found a very useful and effective app that did remove all those duplicated Folders and Bookmarks, however, it (or I) managed to put them completely out of order. That's the context of for this question-as-suggestion. I'm rebuilding my bookmarks.html now, using NotePad++ to edit and restore it to its previous state (Bookmarks Menu / folders / sub-folders / bookmarks). I check my work, as I continue to rebuild this bookmarks.html, by re-Importing it. The problem is that re-Importing the file merely*appends* it to the current contents, rather than replacing them. Here's the workaround I found to initialize my Firefox bookmarks configuration. In your Firefox Profiles folder (e.g.) C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah.default-release delete:

- places.sqlite and 
- content-prefs.sqlite 

and also delete all contents in the /bookmarksbackup folder. By doing this, now when you "Import bookmarks from HTML...", it will contain only what was in your source file. I have the current version of Firefox as of this date, 115.0.2 (64-bit). I haven't noticed any problems using this workaround.

Hi, I need to reinstal my operational system on laptop. Now I see I lost all my bookmarks in the new instaled Firefox. Is it possible to recover all my bookmarks?

We have had some computer problems in our office and the spent all afternoon working on my computer. Now my Firefox browser is gone and I don't remember the password. Had a lot of my websites loaded with passwords and saved and now they are gone. I have a real mess and am sure Firefox still has these links somewhere but have set up this new account so I could sent you this questions. Fingers Crossed.

Hi,

I'd like to ask, "is it possible to transfer all of the bookmarks in one folder to a different folder all at the same time instead of having to transfer each bookmark separately"? (Android phone or a computer.)

I truly appreciate your time and any help/info you'd provide to me!! Thank you!!

Have a great day!! ☺

How can i delete suggested site, and specified link on Firefox Android? I'm using Firefox 115.2.1

Because i can't delete the suggested site when it popped. It also happend with history, i can't delete it separately.

I just purchased an Ipad 9th generation and downloaded Firefox. I can’t seem to find how to manage or search Firefox bookmarks in the IOS environment, after years of doing this on my MacBook laptop. Any help please? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have all of my bookmarks saved on my mobile device but I am no longer able to see them on my new laptop despite both the browser on the laptop and the mobile device being linked to this firefox account. Can you please help me transer the bookmarks from the mobile device to laptop?

Thanks .

Greetings

Each time I drag a URL to a bookmark folder it ends up with a number ahead of the title that was automatically generated. I would love not having to edit those bookmarks each time. Is there a way to eliminate those numbers so when I drag the URL down to the folder it no longer has a number ahead of the title?

I am using a Macbook Pro laptop (2018 vintage) with the latest version of Firefox and MacOS.

By the way, what do those number do anyway. What is the benefit of having them?

Thanks for your help

I am trying to set my firm's managed bookmarks using the following JSON.

[{"toplevel_name": "Name of Firm"},{"children": [{"name": "iDesktop 1", "url": "https://idesktop1.com/"},{"name": "iDesktop 2", "url": "https://idesktop2.com/"},{"name": "iDesktop 3", "url": "https://idesktop3.com/"},{"name": "OWA 1", "url": "https://1mail.com/"},{"name": "OWA 2", "url": "https://2mail.com/"},{"name": "OWA 3", "url": "https://1mail.com/"}], "name": "Remote Access"},{"name": "Chrome", "url": "https://app.chrome.com/login/sso/saml?CompanyID=gn.com"},{"name": "qTime", "url": "https://launcher.myapps.microsoft.com"},{"name": "Intranet", "url": "https://intranet/"},{"name": "FirmName", "url": "https://www.firmname.com/"},{"name": "Google", "url": "http://www.google.com/"},{"name": "Training", "url": "http://training/pages/trainings.aspx"},{"name": "Room Scheduler", "url": "http://roomscheduler.gibsondunn.net/emsWebApp/"},{"name": "ShareFile", "url": "https://sharefile.com/saml/login"},{"name": "VoIP Manager", "url": "https://server.net/user"},{"name": "Workforce Now", "url": "https://online.adp.com"},{"name": "Yahoo", "url": "http://www.yahoo.com/"}]

However, I am getting "Invalid parameters specified for Bookmarks" when i go to "about:policies#errors" in my firefox browser. Any help would be appreciated.

When clicking on the bookmarks icon, my ipad takes me to a screen where one of the tabs is Bookmarks, and Edit at the bottom right. However, my bookmarks are not there and they are not in menu toolbars or unsorted either. Where are they on my ipad?
