I am using Firefox ver 102.01 64 bit on Win 10 laptop. In the bookmarks sidebar, the folders and individual links used to be integrated with each other in one alphabetical list. But, about 3 months ago, somehow the sidebar bookmarks bot separated from each other and now show only as two distinct groups: the folders all alphabetized separately appear at the head of the list, then the individual links are listed under the folders, alphabetized. Attached is a screen capture using SnagIt showing the sidebar as it is currently . Hopefully, someone knows how to revert to the previous bookmarks sidebar view where all bookmarks (folders and individual links) are integrated with each other alphabetically. Thank you for your help.

I have tried as suggested to delete bookmarks and then reinstall but I still get the same problem for some sites. I have actually tried installing them on MS Edge and they work but when I add them to Firefox it fails. I have used Firefox for about twenty years but this seems to be an ongoing problem. I even looked at doing this manually but that looked daunting. Included is a screen shot showing two that have not worked and have been tried several times.

Hi, 2 days ago i have made an update of the browser and all seems ok. The day after when i have switch on the laptop i have opened firefox as usal but the browser has start to asked me to sign in in my profile :-(. And all my bookmarks and passwords was lost. Seems like the browser was new and empty. Honestly I'm not aware if I have never made a profile on firefox but I'm using it since many years so that my bookmarks was very full about work info :-( There is a way to recover all my old bookmarks and password? I have tryind to search it via about:profiles, but I failed. Please help!

Hello, My FF export to html backup stops half-way ! Here is the problem: Untill last June 2022 this backup was doing fine to reach the usual more than 65.000 mb. & gradually building up with every bookmark I add. But last month all that changed when the option started to stop half-way. Meaning it stopped at the level of more than 17.000 mb !!! Which is unbelievably LOW. Today Aug 3, 2022, I retried the operation on my usb stick. And FF export gave me the same results (with the little difference of the few bookmarks I added in the meantime). I didn't find any solution in the FF help pages to help me settle this problem. So any anything to fix this will be appreciated. I'm running windows 10 home & FF 103.0.1 (32 bit)

To support dark mode for desktop users, I’ve added SVG versions of my favicon.ico with lighter and darker colors and use @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) to have better contrast against light and dark backgrounds.

Firefox now (as of 103.0.1) supports SVG favicons (there was a (bug)https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772632, but it's now fixed), but for the History list and the Bookmarks, Firefox is using the apple-touch-icon.

Testing – To confirm how Firefox handles SVG favicons and bookmarks, I used a new profile:

• Set Windows to dark mode
• Create new Firefox profile and open a new browser window
• Navigated to one of my (sites)https://www.sbwfc.co.kr/
• Bookmarked the site
• Switch to light mode and repeat the navigation and bookmark
• In both cases, the bookmark is the same – it’s the apple-touch-icon (see attached portions of the screen capture and the apple-touch-icon.png).

Using the apple-touch-icon on the Bookmarks bar has multiple issues:

• Most touch-icons have a solid background color while many favicons use transparency, resulting in the touch-icon not looking exactly like the favicon.
• Most touch-icons include a border area around the edge while most favicons go right up to the edge. When the image is shrunk down to 16px (CSS type pixels), because of the border area, the area for the working image is only 12px square.
• Shrinking a 180x180 pixel PNG image down to 16px (or 32px for high-resolution displays) does lose quite a bit of detail. Most SVG favicons are designed to work well at 16 and 32px.

For sites that only have an ICO favicon, Firefox will use that image for the bookmark and history. (Firefox also seems to continue to use the ICO favicon if a site was previously bookmarked.)

Safari only uses ICO favicons (not (SVG)https://caniuse.com/link-icon-svg), so designers do need to be sure their ICO designs work with light and dark backgrounds (Apple’s logo is a #888888 gray, so is visible against a light or dark background, although not ideal).

Chrome and Edge use SVG favicons for the tab, history, and bookmarks, and, if the user switches their configuration, the icons on the bookmark bar can be switched from light to dark or vis-versa by refreshing the page. (Chrome seems to always use the initial light or dark version when clicking into the address bar).

This is probably how Firefox is intended to work, but it does seem to be a less-than-desirable solution. If it’s too complicated to use the SVG favicon for the bookmark icon (the way Chromium based browsers do), then would it be possible to only use the ICO favicon for the tab icon and the bookmark (like Safari and Internet Explorer)? Repurposing the apple-touch-icon doesn’t seem like a good solution.

Note: I did try changing the order of the links, putting the apple-touch-icon first instead of last, but it didn’t make any difference.

The code for icons for my site is:

`<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico?v=2" sizes="any">` `<link rel="icon" href="favicon.svg?v=2" type="image/svg+xml">` `<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="sbf-apple-touch-icon.png">` `<link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json">`

Thanks

When creating a new bookmark, there is an arrow button named "Show all the bookmarks folders" that lets you choose the destination. I have managed to make the tree bigger and remove the huge thumbnail by modifying userChrome.css, but having the destination tree expanded by default would be so much more usable. The addon Default Bookmark Folder Default Bookmark Folder has a search feature but it's slower than just having the full tree from the beginning. Thank you for your help!

Running the latest version as of writing for iOS, Daylight 103.0 (13910), and unlike the browser for PC/desktop users, there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn off or prevent bookmarks from showing up in the search url bar when first typing out an address or query.

Am I overlooking something in settings? Or is the iOS version lacking this option? If it’s the latter, I think it would be a good idea to add a toggle for this — for privacy concerns and for UI/UX consistency across devices.

When I try to restore my bookmarks, it says it can't process the backup file. When I try to restore using the saved HTML document, it won't come up in the file window.

Dear Firefox,

can you please tell me how to reset all of my saved web sites in my bookmarks. This morning all the icons have become small round balls (earth symbol) and when I click on the site I wish to open nothing happens. The site no longer have their own icons or symbols.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I updated to the newest version this morning and found that it has delete all my bookmarks and delete all my saved data including login and password details to all the websites i use.

This is extremely annoying and makes me now not want to use your software. I got no warning about this, and it did not ask me to back up my data.

Tonight I performed a computer upgrade (on Ubuntu Studio) that included the latest Firefox version, and it has lost all of my bookmarks and my passwords and I guess lot of other stuff, too.

I can't find any way of restoring them. It will not even recognize the presence of the presence of the other browsers on my system, to import browsers from them.

I need help.

I can't even check my bank account, now.

I'm upset, and I think I have a right to be.

I ran a scan with Total AV last night and now this morning my bookmarks in Firefox quit working. They get a perforated box around the bookmark and don't work. Everything else on the computer works fine.

(THAAANKS!!! for any help) I use my synced Firefox account on many devices for many uses. It's great.

1. Is there a quicker way to access my FF bookmarks folders like an ios widget, shortcut, or icon? ...or a webpage that I make my IOS FF homepage)? Like this chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml

Currently inn IOS, to view my bookmarks folder, I have to click/scroll 4 times: open FF > click 3 lines hamburger menu > scroll up to the bookmarks item > select/click the desktop FF bookmarks folder

2. Is there a way to create a bookmark on IOS in the "Bookmarks Library" folders: "Bookmarks Menu" and "Bookmarks Toolbar"

3. Is there IOS FF plugin or an IOS app which allows me to more fully and easily access and sort my desktop FF bookmarks folders?

I just updated my firefox (on PC) and all of my Bookmarks are gone. This is critical for me to use. What the hell happened. I can't find them. They do not show up anywhere. Please help. I have looked everywhere on the net for help and it does not exist.

How can I restore my bookmarks in Firefox? I currently have a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. This just happened a week ago and I am still not able to retrieve my bookmarks or save them. Any options or solutions to this issue?
