I-Firefox Community Forum

I have Firefox installed on three Windows Desktop Computers. On one, I just cannot delete Bookmarks, no matter what suggestions I try. Verify Integrity of the database produced no results. I do not, for a variety of reasons, sync bookmarks (or anything else) between the three installations. Experienced user that has spent far too long on what should be a simple issue.

Bookmarks have been intermittently disappearing for weeks but I could always see the blue star when I visited favorite sites that I use upon starting my day that I had bookmarked. This morning all bookmarks were missing. I tried clearing cache which had worked to restore some bookmarks that were missing. Now everything is gone and I cannot recover them. There is an error that appears when I open Firefox re: bookmarks and I followed the steps but it did not work. I really need my bookmarks to do all the things I need to do, like everyone else, including medical information websites. I hope you all can get this figured out as it has been a problem for a month for me, on a PC. I know my favorites are stored somewhere on this computer but I cannot make them populate. If someone would like to take control of my computer and fix it for me, I would happy to let you do that. I have run sfc/scannow and chkdsk/f as well as a total virus scan with Norton. I have restarted my computer several times as well as done a complete shutdown several times.

Hello,

I have version 143.0.3 (aarch64), running on a 2020 M1 mac. I did an update recently but I still have all of my bookmarks, that's not the problem. The problem is, although the space for the bookmarks toolbar appears when I click "always show" (and disapears when I select "never show"), I see nothing. Nothing shows up in this space and so I have to go menu diving to get to my bookmarks. Do you have an idea how to fix this?

Mir würde es sehr viel besser gefallen, wenn ein neues Lesezeichen immer automatisch oben im erwählten Lesezeichenordner einsortiert wird. Ist das irgendwo einstellbar?

To export my bookmarks => Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks > Import and Backup > Export Bookmarks => results in bookmarks.HTML.

Unfortunately that HTML does not include the "folders" in the bookmarks. For example I keep the forum folders (C# Corner folder, Mozilla folder, Microsoft Office folder, etc.) separate from other folders.

How do I a bookmark export that includes folders?

How to remove unlinked labels from bookmark organization ?

Deleting accumulated labels for deleted bookmarks

Good day,

I organize my bookmarks progressively, categorizing them by folders and labels. The labels are stored (libraries - above all the bookmarks) within their respective folder "labels". I deleted some bookmarks a few days ago and noticed that I am unable to delete the labels which have accumulated and been automatically recorded in the "Labels" folder.

How can I delete these numerous labels that are no longer linked to any bookmarks ?

Thank you for your responses and suggestions.

Hi People,

I need to organize bookmarks into a few folders and then navigate back to them. I need to create bookmark folders in Library (or some place that they are out of sight until I click), and then see folders in a drop down list where I can quickly find, for example, the Teaching, Media, etc. folders that I create. I'd love to use the star icon to create a bookmark which shows up in the unsorted part of the same area, and that I can drag into a folder when I need to organize.

This used to work easily. I recently installed windows 10 and Firefox after my drive died. Bookmarks are stacking up and smeared across the toolbar. That's distracting, and I'd prefer them in a sidebar or drop down menu.

This used to happen easily. It used to be simplicity to create folders for bookmarks and sort them by name. It was simple to find them (drop down from Library iirc.) I could see unsorted bookmarks below that, and just drag them into folders to organize.

Now, I CAN'T find folders. I can use More Tools -Customize to move "Bookmark toolbar items" to an overflow space or the library, and get at those spaces from the toolbar menu icon or from the library toolbar icon. But I can't see any folders that I create, only the recent bookmarks. I can manage bookmarks by clicking on Menu -Bookmarks -Manage. I can see created folders and create new ones and even put bookmarks into those folders. But what I can't do is find those folders anywhere else, like in Library or Menu drop down. I've tried creating folders in Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, and the Other Bookmarks Folder. I see them in manage, but not anywhere else. This is too much hassle to get to bookmarks, and they're a disorganized mess as I bookmark more things. I've read several Firefox help articles and watched a few vids... and nothing is working.

Can you help? Much appreciated,

-Greg

So I'm new to Firefox, and I added some shortcuts to the main tab, using the "+" button. But then after a few minutes it disappeared, when I wanted to add more. I set 4 rows of shortcuts and I have a lot of space left for them. What do I do to bring this button back? I tried deleting a shortcut but it didn't appear.

recently, if i attempt to bookmark a URL, the dialog box to choose which folder to save to no long appears....the bookmark is automatically saved to the last folder used. i discovered that i can copy the url, open manage bookmarks, and paste into the desired folder...however.... I would like to change this back to allow me to choose from that dialog box. any assistance is greatly appreciated. thank you

Hello. Today I updated Firefox to Version 138.0.3 64 bit and I have found that the Search Bookmarks in Bookmarks no longer works where as in Version 138.0.1 it did. I have done a Refresh and it still does not work. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Is this a bug or something new with the current update. Could someone tell me how to solve this a using the Search Bookmarks function was a big help. Thank you.

Respectfully, Don

After exporting bookmarks.html from Ffox on old computer, importing it to Ffox on the new one, all good, except that bookmarks toolbar shows on the imported list but doesn't display as toolbar.

When my Mac got an automatic system upgrade to 15.1.1 I lost everything. I was able to recover all my files but I lost the foxfire bookmarks and bookmark bar. How can I recover them?

‘New update for Firefox removed my bookmark menu from side bar. When I open FIrefox, my bookmarks are gone, but a one inch vertical, useless space appears. Please help.’ for ‘Firefox’

Today, as a change, when I open a webpage from the bookmarks toolbar, the new page does not include the toolbar - to get to the toolbar, I have to open a new tab or restart - is there a way to fix this in Settings?
