Bookmark toolbar bookmarks have dissappeared in Firefox 38.0.1, why?

Use Firefox 38.0.1, it updated automatically, I am connected to sync but my favorites have disappeared from the bookmarks toolbar. They are not in the bookmarks folder. No idea where they are? I hope that they have not been deleted because I didn't save them cos I sync to take care of that. They went in Linux Mint Rebecca & Win 7.

You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

If you use Sync then better is to disconnect Sync (temporarily) while performing maintenance and repairs for the places.sqlite database efforts.

You may need to restore the bookmarks using a JSON backup.

  • I have just refrehed Firefox, but have lost the upper left menu which had 'Bookmarks' 'tools' etc. Can you please tell me how to get that back?

    I have just updated Firefox, but seems to have lost the menu on top left of the page (very useful) who had a number of elements, including the 'bookmarks', 'tools' etc.. On the far left of this 4/5 menu item is the logo of Mozilla.

    Can you please tell me how to get it back?

    Hi Peter, to activate different bars on and outside, including the Menu bar, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bar (s) there:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

    Is - that you are looking for?

    If something isn't quite right, it is possible that an extension has been tweaking the menu/toolbar area...

  • Bookmarks have stopped working in Firefox 41.0.1

    Bookmarks have stopped working (i.e. I can't create new ones) in Fx 41.0.1. My old favorites are still there and they still work as expected. In the past, when I created a bookmark (' bookmarks > Bookmark this page') I would get a dialog box so that I could determine whenre the bookmark has been going. Now I get nothing, and I can't find any new bookmark.

    I don't know exactly when Fx itself 41.0.1 upgrade, but I first noticed this problem 2-3 days ago.

    Hi, it is possible that the update has interfered with one of your extensions - a number you need! So, try Firefox Mode safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If it's OK in Mode without failure, you will need to temporarily disable all of your extensions one by one until you find the culprit.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2. I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.

    I can record is more than all of the new bookmarks after update to Firefox 40.0.2.
    I have over 1000 bookmarks and also use xMarks.
    I tried to remove 5 bookmarks and save a new bookmark, but it does not work.
    When I click on the bookmark star, stars in the bookmarks folder jumps, but does not record, it does not offer the possibility of filing in the subfolder right it me and the star is not awarded (there should be one filled with stars when the Web site is updated bookmark)

    Thank you for your help. I tried the maintenance of places without success. I have disabled xMarks, but it made no difference, I couldn't save all new bookmarks. I went on the site help above and deleted the "places.sqlite" file and recreates a new file, but it didn't work. I uninstalled Firefox full using IOBit Uninstaller and reinstalled, but I found this program does not delete the profile folder (used to have a checked during uninstall of Firefox, but it seems to have disappeared in the latest versions). The problem persisted.

    Finally, I took a screenshot of all my addons. Then, I uninstalled Firefox again, then delete the entire folder profiles (located very usefully described in the second link above https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file )
    I reinstalled Firefox, reinstalled xMarks and connected and transferred all my favorites, I reinstalled all my previous addons and ALTO - it now everything works perfectly!

    Thank you for your help

  • What version of Firefox options do I have to use Firefox on the new laptop running Win 7 64 bit, and how do I move bookmarks current laptop running Firefox 3.5.13 again laptop?

    Currently running on the laptop using Windows XP pro sp3 Firefox 3.5.13 and want to move my favorites to a new laptop. New laptop using Win 7 pro 64 - bit OS. I've read too many conflicting reports on Firefox and Win 7 and Firefox works on a real 64 - bit version. What are my choices for a stable browser for the new laptop and what specific version of Firefox is recommended, and the advantages and disadvantages of this suggestion? (I think we can run Firefox 32-bit version in the 64-bit environment, but which is the best choice?) I have not installed Firefox on the new laptop yet and am eager to dump IE. It is displayed for my old laptop. Thank you...

    Mozilla working on a 64-bit version of Firefox, but it's a way off. Currently, the only release versions are 32-bit, and the next major version will be also only 32 bits.

    I recommend that you install the latest version of publication (3.6.10) available since http://www.mozilla.com/

    To copy bookmarks, follow the procedure described in the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer to save a json file, you can import (restore) on the new laptop. You can copy more bookmarks, for details, see back up and restore the information contained in the Firefox profiles and backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base Profile. The last link includes a third-party utility that can make the process easier.

  • Import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox 36.0.4 5.1.10

    I can't import bookmarks from Safari Firefox 36.0.4 5.1.10. I do not see "Library" or "Bookmark manager" or something (I think I saw a function import in an earlier version of Firefox) which is often considered online. I have a white iMac under Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    When you install firefox for the first time, you should automatically see an import dialog box. If you have already installed firefox, follow these instructions:

    1. go in the bookmarks menu, then choose "Show all bookmarks" (gives you the library)
    2. in the row of icons at the top, click on the button that has a star with a clock inside icon (fifth from the left)
    3. Select 'import data from another browser.
    4. choose "safari".
    5. choose what information you want to import (you can also import your preferences and history)

  • Bookmark button to show Firefox when the Menu is visible

    Just updated to FF25 of FF22 and decided to have the toolbar of Menu visible, and everything was fine. Until I restarted FF and now my bookmark dropdown BUTTON disappeared. I go to customize and the button reappears, but as soon as I close the window customize, it disappears. I then hide the bar menu, if just the Menu title bar button appears and the bookmark drop down button reappears. WTH? Why every time FF is updated I have to spend time scrounging Google to 'fix' things to the way they were?

    So, how can I get the Drop Down bookmarks button to display AND have the Bar Menu visible at the same time? To answer to those who wonder, why? or there is a text of bookmarks drop down already in the Menu bar, I me in MOCK! I want the feature back and am frankly done sick a tired of all these small tweeks FF with no notes on what they have done and why. Also another problem, that I just discovered. My arrow of downloads is the size of the normal buttons, but when there is a download, it bloats wide about 5 buttons and 2 buttons in high, and the progress bar is half this height! When before it all would remain within the dimensions of size unique button. So now I have also remove toolbars, because it makes the whole bar 2 x height.

    It's hard, but I'm so frustrated with everything. When they worked well before and I've only updated for new features and security, but whenever the FF team decides to waste his time with features that have been there for several months or years, it drives me crazy.

    Found a link that showed me how to change a userchrome file, allowing me to force the bookmark icon to always show little matter what mode the menu bar is in.

    Seriously FF you are ridiculous.
