I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

All my bookmarks and passwords just vanished last night. No update installed, no new programs. I was watching a film from a legal subscription service and firefox crashed and when it restarted, they were gone. I have tried re importing them to no avail. I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and no difference. Chrome (which i had never used) imported the bookmarks and passwords I can't see from firefox so they are still there somewhere but firefox just shows a "cannot access bookmarks" warning at the top of the screen.

I need idiot proof instructions that actually work as I have always used firefox and can't get used to a new browser but need my tabs and bookmarks and passwords back.

My Bookmarks Menu on the Right of my screen suddenly disappeared (Firefox is my primary browser working with Windows 10). - - I have tried updates, reinstall, etc., and cannot get my bookmarks to reappear. - - Please advise, as I've tried just about everything. - Thank you!!

Since I upgrade MacOS to Big Sur, a couple basic Firefox functions have stopped working. 1) History is not being saved. I can restore deleted tabs, but there is nothing in the History menu, nor is there any record (for example, in the form of auto-complete) of websites I have visited in the past. 2) My bookmarks file appears to be mostly read-only. Clicking on the star icon to save a new bookmark does nothing. Selecting Bookmarks > Bookmark Current Tab does nothing. In the Manage Bookmarks environment, selecting Add Bookmark from the gear icon brings up a dialog box in which the only content is a Cancel button. In the Manage Bookmarks environment, I can change the Name of a current bookmark but cannot change its URL. If I try, it reverts to the old URL as soon as I click away from it.

The current help page that most closely describes my symptoms is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved. I tried both remedies, including refreshing Firefox and deleting xulstore.json, but no change in symptoms.

I need to continuously display bookmarks it on left of screen like previous version. Also link should be displayed as well as fold er, not in additional column. Are you trying to drive me to Edge?

I have really enjoyed using Firefox. It has been so easy to use. However, today I tried to open my bookmarks but can't even find them and I have made many bookmarks. Why did Firefox do this? I feel betrayed. I can not access my bookmarks.

PC running Windows 10 hard drive failed, rebuild did not have Firefox. I downloaded latest version, but it showed up with older version of bookmarks. Before HD failed had saved a later version in both HTML and JSOP (???), to a thumb drive. How does one replace current bookmarks with the newer version from the back up drive. Did not know that Firefox automatically does back ups. Thanks,

Hello/hi Yesterday (Feb1) I had a functional problem with my email site (provider = Orange). Sorting it out with the technician obliged me to refresh Mozilla (for various reasons I'm still on Wndows 7), even though I saw that I had the latest version. I believe that I ticked all the right bowes when doing the Refresh. When it had completed my Orange function duly worked again - but! I could no longer see my (quite extenive) Bookmarks. There's no loner any button to enable me to Bookmark a current page.. My efforts via the drop-down Get-Help-on-Bookmarks function have not worked either. So, please, I need your help! Many thanks indeed for both your excellent browser and for the help which I hope will be forthcoming! Best wishes, PT.

Hello sir, I am having a problem related to the bookmark for more you get understand I make image steps so which can help you better understand what problem I am getting.

I have hundreds of folders with saved bookmarks for different things I have researched. Is there a way to search for the one I need to find? For example, to find a folder on a car part from a years back repair. Such as, I would like to search for "headlight", or Honda, rather than scrolling down the list of folders to find the links for how to remove and replace a light assembly. Thanks for your help. Rob

Hi! I very stupidly removed the checkmark from "show editor when saving" and now I've lost the ability to edit and move new bookmarks. Is there any way to restore this? (I have tried for 20 minutes, and can't find one!) Doy! Thanks for your time. Sorry to be an idiot.

When I open private browsing, the icon for private bookmarks is not there. If I look in add ons, the private bookmarks add on is there and turned on. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can find them?

Hi,

My first post on this forum. 1-2 weeks ago all my bookmarks from the toolbar disappeared. I still got them if I go to the top right corner and choose "bookmarks" I think this happened after an update.

Is there any way to get the bookmarks back to the toolbar quick, like pressing a few buttons or do I have to do them all one by one again?

Before I could just add a bookmark to the toolbar by highlighting the url and drag it right under to the toolbar. Now that's not possible and I'm not able to add them. Any help much appreciated.

Like many my bookmarks disappeared. Following the many suggestions one seemed to have possibilities. That was to restore a backup file. However when the restore option was taken in the library only one showed up which was dated with today's date. I then looked for and eventually found the 15 backup files that were claimed to exist.

But how do I select one of these and use it for backup purposes if they don't show up in the restore list. By the way the only file shown in the offered list is not one of the 15 backups.

Many thanks - I haven't much hair left!

Hi, i formated my Hard Drive and i performed a clean windows 10 instalation but i forgot to sync my mozilla and i forgot to save my profile, i remeber i synced my mozilla profile a few months ago but it doesent seem to have any bookmarks even the old ones, is there any way i could recover them?

On my home tower PC, the Bookmarks appear on the left side of the screen (WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM. On my laptop PC, when FIREFOX updated to the latest version in the past several months, the Bookmarks no longer appear on the left side of the screen immediately when I open FIREFOX. In order to see the Bookmarks, I have to click on a small icon at the upper right hand corner of the screen. Then, the Bookmarks appear on the right side of the screen. I have been through all the items in the Settings screen, checked each subheading for any item pertaining to moving the Bookmarks to the LEFT side, but have found nothing. I first checked your knowledge base, and while it reported 2 responses, neither one of them correctly addressed this particular problem. Please help.

Please help me, all my bookmarks are gone and everything is set to default. I also checked my history and there is nothing. All have been wiped out. I restarted my firefox because it detects my letters as keyboard shortcuts , I tried to exit and open it first but it is still there. Then, I used troubleshoot mode to restart the firefox. It was fixed after that but after using firefox for a while I noticed all my bookmarks are gone, then, checked everything was gone. I tried restoring bookmarks by profiles but firefox didn't create a profile it was only a default profile in there. I haven't log in my account on this device because i forgot. Please help I really those bookmarks back. It is very important for my work and most of my research references are my bookmarks.
