Over the last week, I've noticed that my Bookmarks in Firefox keep disappearing, it's happened before but they've always come back when I've closed my browser and restarted. Today I went to the Bookmarks and they've gone, I tried closing the browser and restarting my desktop computer too. I've look at every help I can but I can't get the Bookmarks back. I've got (I had) a lot of Bookmarks and preferred to go through the Bookmarks to get to the sites I want. I like Firefox but I really do need the Bookmarks to show. Also, when I tried to import my backup(s) it wouldn't do it either.

I've run Norton full scan but it found no threats.

I'm on W10 Home, 64 bit - Microsoft hasn't update in the last week so I've ruled them out too.

Would some kind person please help, I'd be most grateful as I've run out of things to try - by the way I'm not a techie.

Many thanks Christa

Is there a way to make the popup that opens when you click on 'Manage Bookmarks' open up to a different folder than 'Other Bookmarks'? There is nothing in that folder. ever. Why cannot we open it to 'Bookmarks Menu'? or whatever? thanks, terry

I’ve been experiencing an issue with Firefox where the keywords I add to my bookmarks randomly disappear. I’ve made sure to save them correctly, but after some time, the keywords seem to vanish without any explanation. This happens intermittently, and it’s frustrating because it affects how I organize and access my bookmarks efficiently.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, is there a fix or workaround available? Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated!

On Galaxy 23 Ultra using Android 14 & Ui 6.1 w/ Firefox, my Bookmarks disappeared. How do I get them back? Tried about:profiles, but nothing comes up. Recently due screen going haywire, phone was reset & the shop left me with Google, which I hate. Have been things getting back to Firefox I've used for years. Not sure if lost then. Bookmarks screen/setup I get, must be Google's, because it's not like FF's. I have Samsung & Google backups, but didn't realize Bookmarks were not put in them. Phone & apps are kept updated. FYI if it matters: Due to storm damage, I'm without a computer that might help. Help, pls. I'd be very appreciative.

Right click does not have the move option; never did. Using Outlook "on the web". (Twice just recently my keyboard quit responding and I had to open Safe mode and restart to make it work. 2nd time lost all open windows/tabs). When I opened Firefox next day, opened library, all my folders were gone. Later they did come back; unsure how/why. I have tried click on bookmark every which way. Will not move into library folder. I may have changed a setting unintentionally.

 I did go into FireFox Safe mode.  Didn't help.

I find it impossible to find anything in the Firefox bookmarks lately. This is due to the way only "recent bookmarks" show in the bookmarks pulldown, instead of my folders, like it used to. I take a lot of care to put everything into folders, so I don't have a long unsorted list. But then the only way to find my folders The only way to find my folders is to have to go into "Manage Bookmarks," which is a giant hassle. (Also, if I open the wrong bookmark, it doesn't leave the list open, so I have to go back and start over. Is there a way to leave my list open, for instance if I want to open multiple bookmarks from one folder?)

I found a help thread which said "Click on bookmarks and then click on bookmarking tools." I tried to do this (several times) ... but unfortunately I don't see the "Bookmarking Tools" option AnyWhere.

I would really appreciate help. I find this so frustrating it makes me not want to use the browser anymore, because locating the articles I need to find again is very time consuming and not straightforward.

Ok, here's the specks first.

I have TWO older imac desktop computers. The one I'm on now, and one I use mainly for music, maybe email but not much else.

BOTH have the SAME IOS. High Sierra. Both used the SAME version of firefox. (Just launched the old one to see, 91.8.0esr)

So the computer I'm on now is up to date with version 115.19.0esr And now so is the other one.

Problem is.... Firefox in it's infinite STUPIDITY, does NOT automatically move bookmarks OR MAKE IT SIMPLE TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH they let me import from another browser. I DO NOT USE ANOTHER BROWSER SO THOSE OTHER BROWSERS DO NOT HAVE MY BOOKMARKS. What a STUPID idea on their part huh?

Now dang it all.... it took me half a day but I managed to do it on this computer. I remember even saying out loud "well that was too easy." Knowing I would need to do it again I should have written down what I did but nope, that would be logical and make sense. I didn't do it. Its been a few weeks and now I cannot for the life of me remember what was so easy. (Again HOURS of one set of instructions after another, yea it was easy to forget.)

I just KILLED several HOURS going around with some ai thing, nothing is working. Shortest version it had me save the old bookmarks by exporting as html. Did that, put it on a flash stick, brought that to the new computer, updated firefox, and here is where nothing works. IMPORT from html DOES NOTHING AT ALL. AI had me open the file to make sure it wasn't corrupt, it's fine. It even suggested I manually drag from that open file to the new bookmarks library but nothing drags. I did try contacting mozilla but got back a reply that they do not offer support UNLESS I AM A PAYING USER. OH HELL NO. I don't pay for stuff so BADLY designed. And I actually like firefox.

Ok, ranting now. Just frustrated. I DO remember this was an easy task.... but dang. HOW?????????? Aside from manually opening each bookmark, copying the url and starting over...... I have HUNDREDS! I'd LIKE to move them all and I know it can be done since I'm on my new browser right now WITH all my old bookmarks. So yea it can be done.... and it was "easy." But my aging brain lost it. I will give this board a shot. Surely others have had the same issue. SOMEONE out there must have written down the "easy" method.

Thanks in advance.
