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

‘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’

Firefox lets me build elaborate hierarchies of bookmarks, just as a modern file system lets me build elaborate hierarchies of files. Once a bookmark exists, though, I can't find a way to tell what folder it's in. In contrast, once a file exists, it's easy to tell what folder it's in. In Windows, for example, I open a File Explorer window and search for the file by name, then right-click>Open file location to open the folder that contains the file. File Explorer's address bar shows the whole path to the folder.

If I find a bookmark through the Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks window's search box, the window gives no clue to where the bookmark is. If I display its properties with Bookmarks>Edit Bookmark, it shows what folder the bookmark is in, but it gives no clue to where that folder is. If the folder's name is unique, an I created it, I can probably figure out where it is. But if the name is something generic like Pending, it's hopeless. I could have 193 Pending folders in different places.

Is there any way to find a Firefox bookmark's location?

bookmarks toolbar not showing items in linux firefox 139.0.1 - it broke in this update. All it shows is text reading: "For Quick Access, place yada yada..." I tried adding it back, it's broken.

How do I restore the user-friendly, logical, dropdown bookmark menu? I hate (putting it mildly) having to open a sidebar window every time I want a bookmark not on my "immediate access" bookmark bar. If this cannot be done, how do I regress to a version that has it?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been using Firefox for years, but my bookmark bar is turning into chaos 😅 Between work, tools, articles, and personal stuff, it’s getting hard to keep track of everything.

I’ve tried folders and naming tricks, but I feel like I’m either clicking too much or forgetting what I saved.

Curious to hear what methods or extensions others here are using to keep bookmarks clean and accessible? Any tips or workflow ideas would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

hi, my bookmark had gone after update. firefox version is 139.0.1 (aarch64 with macos 14.6.1 (23G93). i also cannot make new bookmark. bookmark icon (star) on address bar also not working after update.below attach is screen when i click manage bookmark. your response is appreciated.

I get the "for quick access, place your bookmarks..." where it was my bookmarks just yesterday. The star icon for creating a new one also doesnt work when I click it. Is there a bug going on or something?

Buried in this announcement is the following statement:

"Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily."

Is this a yet to be announce new feature because as far as I can tell the bookmark implementation has not changed in years. However, I would welcome some "enhancements" as the current implementation is quite clunky.

Thoughts, anyone?

I do not want "recently bookmarked" to appear with my Bookmarks. How can I remove it? Right-clicking and changing the "browser.bookmarks.showRecentlyBookmarked" preference no longer work.

Abandonment of Pocket is pushing me back to use of my Firefox Bookmarks Tree.

After a long period of maintenance on my Firefox Bookmarks Folders within the "Bookmarks Menu" I accidentally moved a folder named "Music" into some other folder. I've checked the folders which contain nested folders which are near to where the "Music" Folder should be but cannot find the "Music" folder.

It seems that Firefox Browser ver. 39.0.1 (aarch64) on my M4 MAX MacBook Pro 16" running macOS Sequoia 15.5 makes it easy to search for and to find a bookmark, but not its location within the folder structure in which the bookmark is located. I need to see that folder location so that I can move the folder "Music" back to the top level within the "Bookmarks Menu."

What facility is provided by Firefox for me to perform this search?

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.
