I answered a question about making Firefox my default browser. [For some reason Edge managed to sneak onto my HP Windows 10 desktop, but I always use Firefox, so I clicked "yes" to the question would I like Firefox to be my default browser.
Now it is, but now my whole set of bookmarks are wiped clean. I have 75 book marks that I use all the time. Many I won't know how to reconstruct because they are there as bit of a to-do list.
Whenever I close Firefox, I lose all my bookmarks & sign out of all my subscriptions & memberships.

11/11/2019 UPDATE: I disconnected both of my Apple devices. Used my laptop to sync, since nothing was connected system paused. I opened my iPhone and logged into Firefox and hit sync. Worked right away! Did the same process with my iPad, worked. Thank you to those who offered advice.

Lost all bookmarks in re-start and none of the "help" topics are helpful!
When Firefox updated and re-started all of my bookmarks are gone. I need to know how to get them back. I only have one profile.

I click on the star to bookmark the Gators Softball twitter, facebook, and fall schedules and nothing at all happens. Usually a box drops down if you want to edit what to call the bookmark. But nothing at all happens now. What is going on? How can I fix this? Help! It used to work, even just last week I bookmarked something I think.

Yesterday, I accessed an old PC I have, not used for some time. Firefox suggested to reset itself as it hadn't been used for some time. I answered "yes". When I opened firefox again in my current PC I saw that several bookmarks had been synced with the old PC bookamarks, so I lost all the recent bookmarks in my new PC. How can I revover them ?

So I took a look at "https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-bookmark-folders-firefox-android#mobile::m68" and according to the instructions there should be : "Rename or move a Bookmark folder
Go to the Bookmarks panel on your home screen. Press and hold on the bookmark folder you want to change until the menu appears. "
However there's no greyed out "Bookmarks". It just lists my top sites, when I attempt to type "the" in the browser URL bar. I can only uncheck/check the star to add/remove the bookmark. I, however, need access to my bookmarks from my desktop so I can browse through them.
Firefox synch is working just fine, because I have the bookmarks, and stored passwords show up when I type in Firefox Mobile v68. I just cannot browse to a particular set of bookmarks that I use for reading my magazines. I can only do that from the computer because I never remember the site name.
I also cannot access android history of sites visited.
There's also no "Home" button, so I cannot go to my desired home page.
I carefully curate my bookmarks, only to have them multiply uncontrollably periodically with multiples of the same bookmark scattered in a very long list.

I use Windows, Mac, and various flavors of Linux. A Firefox account should keep bookmarks the same across platforms, but occasionally-to-frequently the episode described above occurs, and bookmarks fall like a rainstorm in the sidebar, unorganized and in a quantity that is distressing, since now I have to start deleting again, because once it happens in, say, Windows, it gets carried to every instance elsewhere. It's like the ghosts of every bookmark I ever had comes back to haunt in multiples scattered all over the place. Is there a way to glue this stuff down so it doesn't happen again? I'm at a loss.

I am unable to delete bookmarks. Not with the Delete function on any menu, and not by dragging off the Bookmarks Menu list in Library to the sidebar (which used to work). I have used Cookie5 (now disabled), which bloggers say corrupts places.sqlite. I have tried these things: I deleted the places file and restarted. This wiped bookmarks but not their folders. 2. I went to Time Machine and replaced current places file with older ones. Bookmarks returned but still no delete option. 3. I tried to restore bookmarks from backups. All JSON backups must be corrupted, because none will open. And the Export and Backup functions do not work either. 4. I checked Places Database to Verify Integrity. No solution there, but readout is below. 5. I tried to create a new profile, set up an account and tried to sync. No luck. So I copied an older places.sqlite file into the new Profile: the bookmarks were there, but in the new profile the problem of deleting them remained. I am stumped.
Readout: > Task: checkIntegrity - Unable to check places.sqlite integrity: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: database disk image is malformed > Task: invalidateCaches - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: checkCoherence - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: expire - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: originFrecencyStats - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: vacuum - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: stats - The task queue was cleared by an error in another task. > Task: _refreshUI

I have had lots of problems with my pc and this morning when I was trying to get it started I was offered a "Refresh your Pc"option which I did, My Mozilla Firefox browser seems to have disappeared since then since then and I was offered to open a Firefox account which I did thinking that would get my bookmarks(or Favourites) back but it hasn't. I think this new account does not recognise me. I don't have any bookmarks or favourites on any other browser. Is it possible to retrieve my oroginal Mozilla Firefox account which has got dozens of Bookmarks on it for me ? Thank you.

The Firefox New Bookmark dialog window stopped saving the last used Folder, as any dialog window is supposed to save its last state, long time ago. Then it lost the URL field, the most important field one needs to edit when saving a bookmark. But now, the final straw, it contains a large screenshot of the page to be bookmarked, which is available, anyway, in the browser window, and can't be hidden from about:config. Can anyone please explain what is going on at Firefox?
How can I get rid of the icons that have appeared in the bookmarks toolbar with the latest Firefox update (69.0)?
The question says it all, I think: the unwanted (and visually irritating) icons have nudged several items off my visible toolbar.
