I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox pushed an update on me today. When I re-launched after the update, I had none of my bookmarks or plugins!

Logged in using the email account I *believe* I had been using, and two menubar bookmarks appeared, but the drop-down menu is missing everything else I had previously!  :(

Looking in the FF settings folder, it looks like there is a folder with other account settings, but I do not know how to identify which is which, nor do I know how to copy over settings from the other account...

Help?

Thanks,

Rebuilding my system after HD crash I need a way to restore my bookmarks from backup html file. FF96 only has import options for MS browsers. In the FF96 menu (upper right of window) there once was a "Manage Bookmarks" with pull down options. Can someone steer me to a solution to restore my old bookmarks??

Ubuntu 20.04, Unity 7

After upgrading from FF 91.0.2 to FF 92.0 it looks like the vertical spacing between the bookmarks in my bookmark tab folders increased. The bookmarks are less useful now. Is there a way to decrease this spacing?

When I go to create a new bookmark in firefox I find that the file name is already allocated, and that file name is appearing on all old bookmarks as well. Instead of saying Other Bookmarks it says Location. This is only happening since I moved to Version 95.0 I have had to stop trying to create new bookmarks, and would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi,

I downloaded the new Firefox browser a couple of days ago and now I have lost all my bookmarks.

Does Firefox have a recent backup that I can import?

I clicked on 'Bookmarks', then 'Manage Bookmarks', select restore, but the bookmarks are from months ago.

Where are my current bookmarks?

Also, where is the bookmarks icon which was in the top right-hand corner, how do I access the bookmarks in this new version?

Kind regards,

Maria

I used to have 'Word Hippo' (an on-line thesaurus which I use daily) in my bookmarks, but it has gone and I can't access it on Firefox to re-install it. It is accessible on Chrome but not on Firefox which seem strange, and understandably it won't transfer from there into Firefox Bookmarks.

recent iOS update to Catalina 10.15.7 resulted in deleting Firefox entirely. Just reloaded Firefox browser (which I prefer to Safari) but none of my bookmarks survived. Can I restore them from some record of them within Firefox? or do I just have to recreate them all?

After today's Firefox update my bookmarks menu now has a black background how can i change it back to a white background with black font? I added a dark theme which changed the bookmarks menu background to a black background.

Thank you very much in advance

Firefox version: 95.0.1 x64 on Linux Mint 19.1, running in safe-mode

As title says, the 'Mobile Bookmarks' folder synced from a Firefox Android aren't saved when exporting the bookmarks to an HTML file. They ARE saved during 'Backup to a JSON' but HTML with 20,000 bookmarks is much easier to edit than a JSON (unless anyone has a handy and quick JSON editor recommendation?).

So bug, or notbug?

I'm on a Mac desktop. Favorite Bookmarks have stopped displaying in View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbars (set either to Show All or Only Show on New Tab. I have verified the favorites are still there in Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar, but when View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbars is opened it displays an empty bar.

/moved thread from Firefox for iOS (for iPhone/iPad) to Firefox (for desktop) section.

I saw this topic in a couple of places on the forum, but the posts are from 2014/15, and some things have changed since then. Some updated instructions would be appreciated! I'm particularly concerned about my bookmarks.

Also, does it matter whether I had the same version of Firefox before and after the refresh? I'm not 100% sure that I did. Thanks.

An auto update took place and I lost all my old firefox presentation, bookmarks, history and such. The firefox, I now have, has greatly damaged my military history research and authorship of military history books.

Was forced to create a new Firefox acct. Changed email address. Had to refresh to latest version and changed my email address. Now cannot find previous bookmarks, before I had to update to latest version. Need help in finding all my bookmarks and import them to the new acct

I would like more visible space for frequently used bookmarks. I find a single row not very workable after using Firefox for a couple of years. A provision for 2 or 3 rows below the current single row would be very much appreciated. Having done some searching to see if this is currently possible I found that this seems to be of interest to many current uses of Firefox.

Is there a way to do this that I missed? Or what can be done to add this enhancement quickly?

I have 2 laptops of different vintage each with different bookmark sets. One is Win 7 with lots of bookmarks. The newer one is Win 10 with far fewer bookmarks. Can I copy old Win 7 laptop's bookmark folder(s) to newer Win 10 laptop, then somehow merge the 2 bookmark sets into one?

I bookmark links using right click, Bookmark link, Other bookmarks, Choose.

Before installing FF 96 Choose showed all of my folders. Now it only shows three new folders. Help, please.

Firefox fucked up my browser by changing the bookmark background to dark mode with the 96 update! It's difficult to read for me, but I can't seem to change it back to the white background with dark lettering. How can I fix it?

My Firefox just updated from 95 to 96.0 and all of my bookmarks have disappeared. I have the bookmarks toolbar but everything in the Bookmarks menu is gone. If I open Firefox on my alternate PC everything is still there but that Firefox shows it is still in 95.2 but I have not restarted it to make it 96.0 I have not experienced this problem before.

I have exported the bookmarks from the alternate PC to its desktop as an HTML and as a JSON file.

Suggestions?
