I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Firefox seems to reset to a newly downloaded state without reason. All my bookmarks and custom settings are lost. This has happened several times now and I do not know if it is a BigSur issue or a Firefox issue. My Mac was just updated to BigSur and I did not have this problem on Catalina. I am about to give up on Firefox because of this issue.

My Tab Bookmark stopped working completely. It won't mark anything anymore for months. Is there a way to fix this. I've restarted my computer hundreds of time so it's not that.

Thanks

Hi, the backup files listed on the Restore menu are complete snapshots of your bookmarks for that date, and not limited to the new ones added on those dates. Do you want to physically delete the full backups from disk?

If you want to view/delete your current bookmarks added during a certain period, here are the steps for that:

Sorting Bookmarks by Date Added

First, make sure you have the Added column in your Library window (called up by Manage Bookmarks). To add a new column to the display, right-click any existing column heading and check the column on the little drop-down list.

Next, if you aren't sure which folder the bookmarks are in you can do a general search in the upper right corner (entering http will match most bookmark URLs).

Then click the Added column heading to sort by that column. This should group together the bookmarks added on a particular date so you can review and delete the ones you don't want.

Does that work on your Firefox?

No because I do not have an "Added" column on the Library window called up by "Manage Bookmarks." YES I would like to "Physically delete (permanently get rid of) "the full backups from the disc." I have yet to see a "delete" tab anywhere in this version of Firefox (92.0). I would gladly revert to an earlier version if it eliminated the current "restore bookmarks" list. How do I do it?

When I start Firefox or open a new tab, a "BOOKMARKS SIDEBAR" pops up on the Window on the left side. I do not want this SIDEBAR but can't find how to make it go away permanently.

Yesterday I started Firefox and got a question on Syncing; I think I answered "NO". All of a sudden Firefox disappeared, and I got "Bing-Firefox" browser. All my bookmarks were gone, and all the browser information presented me with "Microsoft" stuff. The Firefox icon is still on my desktop, but when I choose it the only thing I get is "Bing Shopping", "One Drive", etc. I don't want anything to do with Microsoft, or "Bing"; what happened? How do I get back to pure Mozilla Firefox?

Thank you, Peter

So I had a crazy number of bookmarks, many duplicates. I did a major cleanup of dupes. I now see about 20 "other Bookmarks" folders in my MENU. I tried consolidating them, moving their order in the list, deleting, etc. The act like a ghost in the machine.

Lots of strange behavior: If I drag to reposition, it makes a duplicate, they multiply on their own....

I use my sessions and wonder if it somehow related. I don't want an others bookmarks showing up in my list, I'm grouping via folders according to what i want to see, and other bookmarks ain't it. Especially unruly multiples of such. All I have found was how to hide on the bookmarks toolbar, which I do not like, nor use.

Thank You Kevin

As of this morning, the 6 or 7 favourite bookmarks, I had displayed on the firefox tool bar have disappeared. I've tried all work arounds like- customizing the toolbar (no option to drag on bookmarks) dragging and dropping onto the tool bar no longer works.

I've managed to open them on the side bar but was wondering if anybody could explain how to have them constantly displayed on the horizontal tool bar?

Thanks in advance

I recently ran an AVG cleanup operation. Afterwards almost all of my bookmarks no longer linked to their respective websites. I relinked the ones on my toolbar, but none of the other bookmarks are operative.

I can't for the life of me explain why enlarging these fonts is not easily done. The font is tiny! Not everyone is 28, know what I mean? I've reviewed what's been written on this before in support, but I see nothing very useful. Surely, I can't be the only person who needs to enlarge these fonts. Please help!

After a recent update,I noticed the history is no longer being kept, I checked settings all is good there, also, I am unable to create a new bookmark and am unable to delete an existing bnookmark. I've gone through some of your help files but am unable to correct this. Is there a way to fix this without losing all my current bookmarks? Looked on the web for help but am unable to fix this.

Thank you in advance Dave Markowski

a Refresh because Firefox was running slow, sometimes I'm not able to click my mouse to use as ENTER. Clicking my mouse for ENTER seems as if its not one of it's functions so I have to literally press the ENTER button on my keyboard. That's only one of my problems that I am having with Firefox. So I decided to REFRESH Firefox. Now my bookmarks are missing so I followed the steps and went to>> HELP> More Troubleshooting Info>>PROFILE folder>> Open profile >>bookmarkbackups but there's nothing in that folder, it's empty. So where are my Bookmarks? This is a headache that happens every time I have to REFRESH. I just want my Bookmarks back quickly & simple. I've looked in the OLD FIREFOX folder on my desktop & there's no Bookmarks in there either. I apologize for this article because I know it sounds like every other article about Bookmarks in here but I've become impatient and just want my Bookmarks back in place. It's like a wild goose chase with this issue.

Need to restore some missing bookmarks after upgrading to windows 10 also they are out of order.I am not real good on laptop so please give real detailed instructions I tried importing but not working

Good day, I know that this question has been going around lately but I hope that it finds traction soon. I am not going to be able to use Firefox soon going forward due to the bookmark spacing. I know that it sounds a perhaps a bit picayune but it is ruining my experience and more than that, although it seems counter intuitive, I cannot take in the column or divide out items without them all spaced closely together. I will need to find another browser if I cannot have the old spacing back.... and I really prefer Firefox. Anyhow... Thanks for your time and for your service! Kind regards, Mark

About my bookmark separator. Previously, my bookmark separator was invisible. It was now visible, I believe I didn't make any changes with my settings. Is this an automatic update? If this is an update, how can I make the bookmarks invisible?

I still have no bookmarks. I have restarted the computer a number of times. I also renamed the places.sqlite adding a 1 after places as it said in other directions. I have also refreshed.

Yesterday, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled after receipt of your response. It said all cookies, history, bookmarks etc transferred successfully. However, I keep getting the message “ and Bookmarks and history systems will not be functional because one of Firefox’s file is in use by another application. Some security software can cause the problem. I use McAfee, I’ve always used it. I have not changed it.

I did not do anything with favicon file as I don’t know what to do, I understand you can delete that. If there is a list of more than one, then what do I do.

As I indicated, I an NOT a technical person.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi I have a new MacBook Air M1 chip computer. I exported all of my bookmarks on my old Macbook Pro to an HTML file and then transferred the HTML into my new computer. I researched and followed the instructions for importing the HTML. That went fine - to a point. Now all of my old bookmarks appear as one big group in the OTHER BOOKMARKS category. When I open BOOKMARKS>MANAGE BOOKMARKS they don't even appear. When I open BOOKMARKS and scroll down to OTHER BOOKMARKS they are all there. Here's the problem - in my old computer they were organized into folders but now they are not. Since they don't even appear in the manager I can't even begin to follow the instructions for organizing them. Also, I now have duplicate folders for all of the following : Other Bookmarks / Mozilla Firefox / Recent Tags / Bookmarks Toolbar. AND, Again, these duplicates do not appear when I open the Manager so I can't begin to delete any of them. Please help Daniel
