Why have YOU removed my Bookmarks Sidebar??? I have collected many bookmarks, but NOW there is NOTHING in the sidebar!! This is a rubbish way to update users - STOP IT!! I want my book marks on MY sidebar ... stop thinking YOU KNOW BETTER!! GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK MARKS! WHERE *I* WANT THEM!!

Seriously this is SO RUBBISH I will dump Firefox ... after MANY MANY YEARS!!

I have always been able to click on a box in the upper right to see my bookmarks on the left side of the screen.

This has now disappeared and the only way I can see the bookmarks is to go to "manage bookmarks". I don't see how to bring it back to the way it was.

I didn't knowingly change anything.

Thank you

In your previous version of Firefox, I could click on "Bookmarks" above the search bar to see all of my bookmarks listed. Is that capability still available? I don't want my bookmarks showing in a toolbar. Thank you.

I've switch to a new computer and exported and imported my book marks, in json file. I can see them in the library, but I don't know how to get them to display on my sidebar. Help? thanks brian

Click on bookmarks, the drop-down menu appears, click or move cursor on an entry in the list, the new drop-down-menu of 2nd level appears. If the list contains many entries the 2nd level drop-down menu overrides 1st level. This does not happen with firefox preceding version. Note: attaching a picture because a webm video is not accepted.

I have created a number of folders for bookmarks and clicking on the folder used to produce a long list for each. Now, possibly since the latest update, the list is abbreviated and doesn't show bookmarks that, if I open in a tab and click "edit", are shown as being in the folder. The only forum article I have seen on the topic seems far too complicated for me to understand.

bold text how do i move bookmarks along the bookmarks tab

I have just bought a new computer. Got firefox working and I have bookmarks on the bookmarks tab below the search box.

I used to be able to move bookmark tabs along it and it was my main organisational method.

OR I would drag a url down from the search bar to put it on the bookmark tab below

neither of these methods work any longer and it is a real problem.

I cannot think of a worst thing you could have done.

Help how do i move a bookmark along the bookmark tab, or move a url to the bookmark tab, or move those bookmarks which I can't see to the visible section below the search bar

This is unbelievable ! I posted this again in response to somebody not being able to comprehend, "Bookmark Spacing Vertical Intervals Not Optimized". What the Hell else do I need to add to clarify that ? You don't want, can't or refuse to answer -- I get that. But DO NOT rope-a-dope me be typing it's not clear or you don't comprehend what, Bookmark Spacing Vertical Intervals Not Optimized means. It is a clear, concise description of an IT problem. I have zero clue how to describe it any other way. This is flabbergasting -- it is a well-known problem but all the solutions offered I have seen are garbage. Am wasting huge amounts of time and money, neighbor ! I can't submit a bill for all this runaround !

When I logged in this morning my bookmarks toolbar was gone, along with the favorite start. I have googled and followed support articles and the only thing I was able to do is get the menu bar to show along with the the bookmark menu but customizing the toolbar.

Per title. If I go to bookmarks->bookmark this tab OR clicking the star icon in the address field I always want it to pop up and ask me where to save it, without having to remember to double click the star icon, or go edit bookmarks menu to move it.

This seems like a poor design, at least for me when more than 90% of the time I don't want it to be in the last used folder. I have been adding bookmarks for decades and it has always asked me where to save them, so muscle memory forgets to go back and edit the bookmark I just saved, and then later on I have to go back and change them all because they are never in the right folder.

I understand if I double click the star in the url it will allow me to change it, but when I'm busy I don't remember to click it again, or double click it, then my bookmark is lost and I have to go searching for it and edit it and it's a hassle.

Is there an about:config setting I've missed to re-enable this basic feature to reduce all the clicking?

I've tried browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks both false and true without any change to the behavior.

Hi Folks, I tried to put this on Bugzilla and read all the pages and pages for nearly and hour and then was not able to get logged in. So if any of you guys out there have seen any of these problems, could you please report them? I've wasted so much time with all this that I have no more, and I'm just exhausted with it.

I Recently Upgraded to Firefox 128.1.0 ESR Windows 11 (I did not have ESR before - waited until version numbers for both versions were the same (128.0.0) before I switched so the profiles (presumably) would not be affected. However since the update to 128.1.0esr multiple problems have appeared. I switched to ESR because I just don't have time right now to deal with inadequately tested software. This should have been a beta (for those who have available extra time), not a roll-out (to those who are already underwater).

1. Both in Firefox and in two webmail applications (GMX & PROTON), pages appear blank (white text on white background) until SELECTED, then text appears and goes away when deselected. You cannot work with it that way. It doesn't happen with other browsers, such as DuckDuckGo - only in Firefox.

2. While going through Settings after so many glitches occurred, I selected Firefox DARK, to see how it looked, since I use it on my iphone, but it didn't work because many of the text items in various places were grey - grey on black is not readable. And in some cases, it was apparently black text on black background that would only appear if selected. When I tried to choose "light" again (or automatic) in FF settings, it still leaves SOME scattered pages dark/unreadable, this includes some options pages for FF extensions.

3. The drag & drop to rearrange the order of items in extension "AutoPinTab" no longer works - it does nothing at all. I think the drag icons are not actively detecting mouse touches.

4. Settings/General/Startup "Open previous windows and tabs" box is NOT checked, but FF does it anyway.

5. Other things in FF Settings and in FF Extensions no longer work right. I don't have time to go back through and detail each one right now. I'm so behind because of all these problems. One fix will likely fix other related problems (or even seemingly unrelated ones).

6. In Settings/Manage Your Extensions - "Reset all Add-ons to Update Manually" does not work. It doesn't change anything in any extension from DEFAULT or ON to OFF.

7. "Always Show"is checked for "Bookmarks Toolbar", but although the space for the bar appears, the only thing on it is the "For quick access, place your bookmarks here on the bookmarks toolbar" and "Manage bookmarks...." I can find NO way to get the actual bookmarks back onto the bar - In the right-click context menu that offers "Menu Toolbar" "Bookmarks Toolbar" and "Customize Toolbar", the Bookmarks Toolbar is set to "Always Show" but it no longer works, and won't show the bookmarks. I'm sure this is something the update did - I recall something similar many years ago. The bookmarks are on my drive and FF can access them very clumsily in a time consuming, confusing, round-about way, but they are NOT on the Bookmarks Toolbar any longer and there appears to be no way to get them there.

8. Extensions. Now, some of the extensions will not put their icons up on the toolbars, nor do they all work as they say they do, or as they did. Firefox is becoming unusable for me. There is more, but I'm going to send this for now, hoping someone has some idea what is going on - maybe fixing one bug will fix others too. The missing bookmarks and the white-on-white and black-on-black text, especially in GMX and PROTON email (which only occur when using the Firefox browser to access them) are what's killing me - I don't have time to learn another browser right now.

Are there any plans to address all the current problems in a timely way? It would be much better to wait, to wait until everything has been properly tested before putting onto the machines of people who may not have the luxury of time to debug it for you.

I am so frustrated and stressed right now. I hope someone can offer some ideas and will let Firefox Bugzilla know. I tried but was not successful. Right now, I just feel like crying. Watch all this be something I'VE done wrong, from sheer exhaustion !! --AnneF .
