I find it impossible to find anything in the Firefox bookmarks lately. This is due to the way only "recent bookmarks" show in the bookmarks pulldown, instead of my folders, like it used to. I take a lot of care to put everything into folders, so I don't have a long unsorted list. But then the only way to find my folders The only way to find my folders is to have to go into "Manage Bookmarks," which is a giant hassle. (Also, if I open the wrong bookmark, it doesn't leave the list open, so I have to go back and start over. Is there a way to leave my list open, for instance if I want to open multiple bookmarks from one folder?)

I found a help thread which said "Click on bookmarks and then click on bookmarking tools." I tried to do this (several times) ... but unfortunately I don't see the "Bookmarking Tools" option AnyWhere.

I would really appreciate help. I find this so frustrating it makes me not want to use the browser anymore, because locating the articles I need to find again is very time consuming and not straightforward.

HI, Today I had terrible day - I lost every thing in my computer. IT specialist helped to get back all my files, but bookmarks in Firefox. I dont know if I did synchronising or not. Bookmarks is all my work and I lost them. Is there any possibility to get them back?

Hello, I was visiting a few websites today, and kept getting this " unknown wasm error ". The webpage would not display. Is there any way, to get an " unknown wasm error fix"?

I am using Windows10 & Firefox/Mozilla as my browser.

Thank you for you help.

Hello, I have asked this before and unfortunately did not get a reply (crickets!). Is there a way user can sort bookmarks in IOS like on a pc? It is really frustrating to have dozens and dozens of bookmarks and be unable to sort them except in an extremely cumbersome, time consuming manner. We are after all talking about a tiny screen keyboard on mobile phones. I appreciate ANY reply. Thank You!

I inadvertently created a duplicate Other Bookmarks folder at the level of the Bookmarks Toolbar and I'm not able to remove it. In fact, I tried deleting all of the bookmarks under this duplicate to see if that would allow me to delete it, however, that removed all of my bookmarks, including from the original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder and I had to restore them from backup.original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder

Please let me know what I can do to eliminate the duplicated folder without affecting the entries in my original Firefox Other Bookmarks folder.

Thank you,

Right click does not have the move option; never did. Using Outlook "on the web". (Twice just recently my keyboard quit responding and I had to open Safe mode and restart to make it work. 2nd time lost all open windows/tabs). When I opened Firefox next day, opened library, all my folders were gone. Later they did come back; unsure how/why. I have tried click on bookmark every which way. Will not move into library folder. I may have changed a setting unintentionally.

 I did go into FireFox Safe mode.  Didn't help.

Ok, here's the specks first.

I have TWO older imac desktop computers. The one I'm on now, and one I use mainly for music, maybe email but not much else.

BOTH have the SAME IOS. High Sierra. Both used the SAME version of firefox. (Just launched the old one to see, 91.8.0esr)

So the computer I'm on now is up to date with version 115.19.0esr And now so is the other one.

Problem is.... Firefox in it's infinite STUPIDITY, does NOT automatically move bookmarks OR MAKE IT SIMPLE TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH they let me import from another browser. I DO NOT USE ANOTHER BROWSER SO THOSE OTHER BROWSERS DO NOT HAVE MY BOOKMARKS. What a STUPID idea on their part huh?

Now dang it all.... it took me half a day but I managed to do it on this computer. I remember even saying out loud "well that was too easy." Knowing I would need to do it again I should have written down what I did but nope, that would be logical and make sense. I didn't do it. Its been a few weeks and now I cannot for the life of me remember what was so easy. (Again HOURS of one set of instructions after another, yea it was easy to forget.)

I just KILLED several HOURS going around with some ai thing, nothing is working. Shortest version it had me save the old bookmarks by exporting as html. Did that, put it on a flash stick, brought that to the new computer, updated firefox, and here is where nothing works. IMPORT from html DOES NOTHING AT ALL. AI had me open the file to make sure it wasn't corrupt, it's fine. It even suggested I manually drag from that open file to the new bookmarks library but nothing drags. I did try contacting mozilla but got back a reply that they do not offer support UNLESS I AM A PAYING USER. OH HELL NO. I don't pay for stuff so BADLY designed. And I actually like firefox.

Ok, ranting now. Just frustrated. I DO remember this was an easy task.... but dang. HOW?????????? Aside from manually opening each bookmark, copying the url and starting over...... I have HUNDREDS! I'd LIKE to move them all and I know it can be done since I'm on my new browser right now WITH all my old bookmarks. So yea it can be done.... and it was "easy." But my aging brain lost it. I will give this board a shot. Surely others have had the same issue. SOMEONE out there must have written down the "easy" method.

Thanks in advance.

A bookmark I have disappeared. So I tried to add it again, but all it says is edit the bookmark and it shows the name as though it was already there, but it isn't in my list of bookmarks..

All my organized bookmarks were to the left of my screen but now are no longer there. I can find my bookmarks under a different location but they are very hard to find and no longer organized under the folder's I created. How doe I get them all back to the left of my screen?

Thanks! Lee

For two days now I have not been able to create a bookmark, can't see any of my previously saved bookmarks, have no bookmark bar. I have been going in circles in my search of community forum. I have tried every suggestion I have found. I wish I could delete everything related to Firefox and start over, but when I uninstall then reinstall, it says I have a previous version of Firefox. I have already deleted cookies and all Firefox files. Nothing is working. I have been using Firefox for over 15 years. All the steps I used to take to show the bookmarks bar fails to produce a bookmark bar. HELP, PLEASE!

Hello. How can I remove all those unwanted sections clogging up my Bookmarks list? In order, they are the View bookmarks sidebar, Search bookmarks, Manage bookmarks, Bookmarks toolbar, and Other bookmarks.

There is already a Manage bookmarks item at the bottom of the list, and so all those at the top of the bookmarks are just wasting space on the screen.

There is also the Extensions icon on the location bar which is of no use. I have shifted it to the left next to the Reload icon, but would like to remove it completely.

I'll check back tomorrow and see if anyone has any idea about these simple user interface adjustments.

Thank You.
