I used to use chrome. There, when i add a bookmark, the title and the URL are prefilled. Which is very comfortable. Why is this not a feature in firefox? I always have to copy paste the URL and enter an own title. Chrome has become very slowly on some websites, while firefox does not slow down on those websites at all. So i want to stay with firefox. Good job, team. But the bookmarking UX is improveable.

Fix frustrating bookmarks desktop workflow

Hi Firefoxers, I've recently returned to using Firefox after using Chrome, Vivaldi, and Brave for a long time. Most Firefox things are better than these, but I find the bookmarks handling in Firefox extremely frustrating in comparison.

When clicking the bookmark star, the edit bookmark box pops up. The location dropdown gives me a list of 7 recent folders where I can store the bookmark. If I click "Choose" a tiny little box opens up and, in this extremely cramped space, I have to scroll through hundreds of folders and all their expanded subfolders to find the one I want.

One way other browsers solve this problem is by letting the user right click directly on their bookmarks folders and select "Add bookmark here", which then automatically saves URL, page title etc to that folder. But in Firefox, this just opens up a blank "Add Bookmark" box that doesn't contain any info about the current page, meaning you have to manually enter all the details.

So I'm interested in any help advice about:

a) Increasing the number of recent folders in the location drop-down to make it a lot more than 7.

b) Increasing the size of the "Choose" box so I can see the list of hundreds of folders more comfortable.

c) Stopping all folders being automatically expanded in the "Choose" box.

d) Making Firefox auto-add the details from a current page when clicking "Add Bookmark".

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone,

I have a problem. I have seen that there have been discussions about this in the past. Unfortunately I have not found a solution and the discussions are all archived.

Now to the problem: Various pages have no favicon in Firefox when I drag them into the bookmark bar as a bookmark. However, when the page is active in the tab, a favicon is visible there.

The problem does not seem to be unique to me. Several people have tested it. It also seems to be a problem in Firefox only. In other browsers, this problem does not occur.

What can website owners do to fix this problem?

Here is an example of a site where I have the problem. www.organspende-register.de

Many thanks in advance. Best regards

Firefox is my preferred browser, and I have a very comprehensive list of bookmarks with folders and subfolders. Recently, whenever I add a bookmark through 'Manage Bookmarks' to access this list more easily than 'bookmark this page' > 'edit bookmark' & > 'Choose', it works the first time only; after that if I add another the second will not appear. If I close the 'manage bookmarks' window & reopen it & scroll to where I was before (a time consuming exercise), I can see that it did add the bookmark— for some reason it does not show when I do. This happens if the window is idle more than a few moments. Ideas how to fix?

The bookmarks disappeard on the toolbar or in the library even though the sites that were previously bookmarked are still marked with the blue star. Comically it still shows my recent additions even though they are nowhere else to be found.

On mobile the bookmarks are still there but resynching, reinstalling, restarting didn't work.

When i want to bookmark the disappeared ones again, they won't be saved and are gone again the next time I start the browser.

It's really annoying, I had a lot of them and I don't want to use desktop shortcuts or use another browser but I might just have to.

I did a refresh in order to get Firefox 129 to speed up and lost a short cut or icon that would display my favorites in a column on left side of page and stay open until I closed them. This was extremely helpful if you have a list of sites you visit every day. The icon for this was an open book.

I had a problem therefore I had to reinstall Firefox. When I reinstalled I had to login again and I did that with my usual Mail Address that I used for Firefox since years! But something was off... No Bookmarks, no backups nothing! I pressed sync to get the data because it didnt fetch it automatically but nothing happened either. I logged out and somehow after googling I found a way to login with google! (The option wasnt available anymore in the browser options WTF?! ) logged in and saw my profile picture etc I noticed this was my real account right there! Logged in and landed (at leat so it seemed in that new account that I described before which wasnt my real account, I synced nothing happened, all is fcked!) I lost my account so it seems with bookmarks that I gathered for years! ALL LOST.. Iam mad, frustraded, sad... and there doesnt seem to be any backup on my harddrive at least and my firefox account has been overwritten... Should I´ve been swapped earlier to google Chrome?! I really liked Firefox over these years... Iam so sad right now
