I-Firefox Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I inserted a pic of my problem. I want to save a twitter bookmark in my twitter folder in the toolbar but it comes up with TWO different folders! When I save to one it shows up in the toolbar folder, if I choose the other it does not and I have no idea where it goes. How do I remove the second twitter location?

After downloading the latest version of Firefox, I was unable to import bookmarks from my earlier version. Therefore, I uninstalled the latest version and am using the former.

Since I can see no advantage of switching to the latest version of Firefox, how can I disable the ever present, annoying reminder to do so.

You are referred to the American Society for Indexing Digital Publications Special Interest Group. Embedded Indexing Resources In the section Compatibility Observations, the Hyperlinks Report shows how browsers handle hyperlink sub addresses within PDFs on the Internet. Sub addresses within PDFs enable links to be made to content within the document. This supports users wishing to bookmark specific content, and indexes to large collections such as journals and society newsletters. Firefox comes out well, it can take users to page numbers in PDFs for many platforms. (Example HyperlinkAddress#page=100) However, it doesn't find range name sub addresses. (Example HyperlinkAddress#RangeName) The request is for the addition of a range name capability to all versions of Firefox. Below is an extract from the Hyperlink Report Hyperlinks Containing Range Name Sub Addresses When a hyperlink containing a range name sub address is opened, the user should be taken to the correct range. Ranges and their names will be defined during document creation, which includes indexing. A selected range should be made easily visible. Where a selected range is small, it should be artificially extended to make it visible. Users should be able to read range names and to determine their start and end locations.

My bookmarks are in the list, but URLs which are not bookmarked are also in the list. (I say some of the entries are not bookmarks because there is no blue star if I double click on them.)

Hi, I know I'm just missing something basic here, but coming from the Chrome world I'm having a tough time with the bookmarks. I am accustomed to seeing all of my bookmark folders when I select the arrows at the end of my bookmarks toolbar. In Firefox I don't see that. I can see those folders under the bookmarks toolbar in the bookmark manager, but I would love to just be able to click on the arrows on the end of the bookmarks toolbar and have them drop down just like they did in Chrome. Do I have it all wrong? Do I always have to have my bookmark manager open to be able to bounce from bookmark to bookmark? Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm organizing my bookmarks in the Sidebar and have lots of folders and dividers to keep things organized into categories etc. When grabbing a bookmark at the bottom of the list, I start to drag it to the top to get it to a folder in the middle but as soon as I get close to the top the scroll starts and accelerates to a high speed immediately and I scroll all the way to the top. I want to know if there's a way to slow down either the top speed or the acceleration of the scroll, because at this point I cannot finesse it enough to get to where I want.

Thanks, Roger

Yes I’ve lost my bookmarks since you updated my Firefox account I’ve made several mistakes including deleting four versions of Firefox and importing bookmarks by mistake. Now I have no bookmarks and I lost the ones I could see. I’m not very technically inclined and could really use some personalized help.Would Actually be willing to pay.

I've been using Firefox since Netscape died and never had this problem.

For over half an hour I've been dragging and dragging and searching the web ... I couldn't get the URL in the bookmarks if my life depended on it.

I read about that star thing -- WAY to slow! Nobody pays me to organize my tabs.

Why is this not working anymore?

THANKS!!!

Having changed for a time to another browser and imported/exported back and forth, I am presently with three bookmark menus, one after another. When a bookmark does not appear, I have to go to manage bookmarks to see in which one it is. Is there a possibility of merging the menus or only by manually checking in one menu and scrolling to the next, etc. and eventually deleting the excess? If the last is the only option, is there any way to get a second display to work from instead of having to scroll back and forth? Thank you for your imput.

Hello,

My old PC crashed and I want to transfer my bookmarks from the old hard drive to my new PC running windows 11. I have unlocked hidden files, but when I ran drive:\Users\username\AppData\roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles nothing came up. I then ran places.sqlite and a list of places.sqlite appeared with some files having -wal &-shm after them?

I believe from reading here this is where my bookmarks are?

If so, how do I transfer them to my existing PC hard drive to use please? Many thanks Chris

Hello,

it has already been a while since the problem appeared, so I have already tried lots of various solution hints, but none worked:

- deleting cache, cookies, temp. etc. - repairing places.sqlite - deleting profiles / places.sqlite

of course all these supported by log out in all devices running Firefox. Reinstalling Firefox didn't help as well let alone using Firefox on a fresh Windows installation.

The only thing, which works is to log out from Firefox account and not to log in again, but it is not a solution rather. Otherwise, regardless what I delete, bookmarks alone or whole folders, or even all of them, so there is not a single on, minutes after logging into Firefox account, all of them are back, creating duplicates over duplicates and making bookmarks a mess and completely unusable.

Having said this, I am strongly convinced that the source of a problem is none of my Firefox instances on any device but some central place for the account, from which this unwanted synchro comes back. Deletions are likely not recognized there, so each time a local version is smaller than the central one, it goes with the restoring...

I would highly appreciate your support, since the issue is really annoying and I am a bit helpless with it now.

Many thanks in advance. antarxis

Win 10 FF 112.0.2 (just about to update again). 2 Tb HDD x 2 I recently installed a new Sata drive after a previous one showed it was failing. I then had to copy over the partitions slowly over a number of days which meant a lot of disk swapping and partition label changes. I do have rather a lot of partitions between the 2 drives.

Anyway - my FF is on the drive not affected but which did have to be removed in order for the failing drive & the replacement to be mounted to faciliate the data swap. The upshot of which ultimately appears to have been that all my bookmarks no longer have the correct icon unless I visit the site although even then some stubbornly won't update.

Obviously not a major problem but it would be nice to have a quicker fix than wasting half a day visiting each site separately given there must be a few thousand of them :(

i logged in to my firefox account on my daughters laptop - but my bookmarks didn't appear - when i synced now her bookmarks have replaced mine - i want mine back please

I have a Firefox account and I want to recover my bookmarks and passwords. My Windows 10 PC didn't boot up so I had to do a factory reset. After the reset, I logged into Firefox and tried using the Import and Backup tool. There was only one recovery date so I chose that. I clicked on the date and was prompted "This will replace all of your current bookmarks with the backup. Are you sure?" I click OK and nothing happens. I didn't see my bookmarks and rebooted my computer.

It sounds like this might be two different issues: Bookmarks and Passwords.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I got a new machine, and exported from a windows 10 machine running firefox and got a "bookmarks.html " file that was saved to my desktop. I then used a USB drive to put it on a new LINUX box with firefox running on it. something happened with the "other bookmarks" folder in my bookmarks list. It is empty and I cannot access it. PLUS there is ANOTHER "other bookmark" folder on the bottom of the list that I cannot access or select.

The "other bookmarks" on the bookmarks tab is empty (the one on the top of the list). I can't move a URL to it. There is also another "other bookmarks" on the bottom. which I cannot select and therefore cannot get rid of. And I have a link to some place that I also cannot select (and therefore cannot get rid of).

All the bookmarks in my folders and lists are ok and they work. I think the bookmarks list (which I cannot find in the linux file system) is corrupted. How can I find it, delete it, and then try to import my new "bookmarks.html" again ? Using Linux POP-os ver 22. Most recent release.

There are two different Firefox icons for saved internet pages on my computer. I am running Windows 10. One type opens normally in a new tab. The other causes all my bookmarks and home page personalised settings to be lost. If Firefox is already open, the bad one complains that Firefox is already running. I know how to recover the lost bookmarks and settings. How can I make the bad ones open like good ones? If I try to remotely open a good one resident on my wife's computer, it behaves like a bad one but it opens normally on her computer (Win 10 laptop).

I am very upset that the bookmarks icon changed an now I cannot get a listing of my hundreds of bookmarks and other bookmarks. Yeah, I can hit "edit bookmarks" and that will produce the complete listings. However, all I want and need to do is click on the bookmark and go. Why was this changed? This is NOT an improvement. Please restore the use of the prior bookmark icons and make life simpler. Thank you.

My bookmarks are just gone not all just everything after the letter B in order. They are not in back up I followed all the restore bookmarks options in help nothing has worked.
