Why are my favorites in Unsorted Bookmarks?

I'm creating Firefox on a new iMac. In my old iMac my records were under the heading 'My Favorites '. They are now under "Unsorted Bookmarks." Is there still a topic 'My Favorites' and if so, how can I put my favorite it?

  • By clicking on the star in the toolbar navigation go to bookmark the page in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star lights in blue to show that
  • Bookmarks > 'Bookmark this Page' (Ctrl + D) going to bookmark the page in the folder of bookmarks Menu (you will need to confirm that)
  • 'Bookmark this Page' is accessible via the context menu in the area through the bookmarks menu or navigation in the menu or Firefox menu button drop-down bar (Alt + B)
  • If the URL in the active tab is set bookmark and the star is highlighted blue and then click the star highlighted or use "Bookmark This Page/Edit this bookmark" (Ctrl + D) to change the properties of the bookmark as the name and the location and move the bookmark to another folder or delete the bookmark

There are three main folders of bookmarks and bookmarks can be created only in one of these folders and its subfolders.

  • The folder "Personal bar" stores the bookmarks that you see in the bookmarks toolbar (Firefox > Options or view > toolbars).
  • "Bookmarks Menu" file stores the bookmarks that display in the bookmarks menu and are created through ' bookmarks > bookmark this Page "or" bookmark this link "in the context menu.
  • The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores created bookmarks by clicking on the star on the right end of the address bar.

  • In Firefox updated, my new bookmarks (Favorites) do not appear in Unsorted Bookmarks... or anywhere... and are not for editing when I double-click on the star.

    Used Firefox (and Xmarks) for many years without problem.
    Since the upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, I can't create new bookmarks. When I have a Web page 'star', it does not appear in the folder of Unsorted Bookmarks OR at the bottom of my list of unsorted bookmarks. I'm unable to 1) find my bookmark ANYWHERE and 2) double click on the star to change my bookmark.
    Why am I having this problem? I spent too much time quite several times now trying to figure out what was once a task fundamental, almost blind.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Downloads (with the arrow pointing down)
    Tags (with the tag icon)
    All the Favorites (with the book icon)

  • Why do we still have a folder "unsorted bookmarks"?

    I don't understand why Firefox still has bookmarks enter this useless folder by default. No there there not complaints on this subject all the time?

    This feature (Unsorted Bookmarks) has been around for almost 6 years. has been added to Firefox 3.0 in June 2008. Personally, I have seen very few complaints about this feature posted in this forum.

  • When addiing a bookmark, why the bookmark button defaults to "Unsorted Bookmarks" instead of 'Bookmark Menu', and how I can change it?

  • Can I sort my unsorted bookmarks?

    I had IE. I have a lot of favorites that I organized into folders. Is it possible that I can: 1) transfer in the Firefox bookmark files? (I transferred and they appear in Firefox under "From Internet Explorer" - but I want in Firefox). (2) if I create several folders in "Unsorted Bookmarks", is there a way I can sort them?

    Yes, in fact, I can't even see why the folder has been created in the first place, because
    the tail of the bookmarks Menu was really the same. In fact, the reason was that with "tags" person would need records, a Firefox tag makes no sense in my favorites and would do for twice as many bookmark folders.

    To sort bookmarks, I recommend that you use separators to bookmark especially at the end of the very large folders, so new material don't mingle with the main a folder until you spent you reviewed, modified, accept it and maybe to classify it by moving it in a subfolder somewhere...

    The "SortPlaces" extension allows you to sort your bookmarks, it takes about the same time so he can sort all of your bookmarks as Firefox takes to sort a small folder of bookmarks. This extension and other useful information can be found in the link...

    and since I have and use this extension it may be of additional information about this extension on my own web page. (link fixed 2011-08-10)

    and I have a suggestion it doesn't sort does not automatically, I don't know if this is still the default, but this isn't a good thing to do. Like after you have gone through.

    I also have sort my my personal bar and separators of bookmark use to group for the most important things are somewhere near the Middle, so I see them always, even when you use a window half of the width of the screen.

    Missed the part about the import of IE and create subfolders in unsorted bookmarks. Do not create subfolders in unsorted bookmarks, they should be in the Menu bookmarks, Bookmarks Toolbar, or left in the any folder named "Internet Explorer" and the last would be my preference.

    To import your IE bookmarks you suggest to use 'Alt' first if you don't see the bar menu, then file > import > in Internet Explorer. The other way would be to go through the "import and backup" library of Favorites (Ctrl + Shift + B) list that could be a disaster if it merges records together.

  • Page my favorites; Choose from; Bookmark Toolbar - no list of bookmarks or folders

    I use FF 40.0.1 with 10 windows and have a bookmarks bar in which there are records and addresses that are not in the files - (what I consider normal vision).

    If I click left on "Bookmarks" in the Menu bar I see a list of all 100 bookmarks that I have saved over the years

    If I choose 'show all Bookmaks' this list of 'Favorites' I show a list of URL 3. (No. 100 list bookmarks)

    If I click with the right button on a web page and choose, ' Page Favorites/Bookmarks Menu / choice I am given a choice of "Bookmarks Toolbar" or "Menu bookmarks" If I choose "Bookmarks Toolbar" the url is placed in the toolbar immediately, does not give me a choice to use a "new folder" which is grayed out.

    In addition, none of my files that are in the "Toolbar" is under "Bookmakrks Toolbar"

    In conclusion, I cannot save the URL where I want in a toolbar folder, or see my 100 URL in the list of folders all kinds cannot administer the.

    I have recently 'upgraded' to 10 Windows and find most if not all of the URLS are blurred and not to open the web page, but rather to open another in my favorites.

    I can solve this problem, if I can get just FF works as it should and be able to administer my 100 URL.

    I tried export URL of IE or a file, uninstall/reinstall FF, import URL from IE or a file, but still have this inability to manage URLS.

    I am unable to avoid this complex question because I do not see how to select a relevant a screenshot to present.

    The complete folder list also opens if you click on the marker to drop in the folder field, click on the item of "choose...". ».
    The complete window has a button to create a "new folder" (look for a button "New folder" or a '+' in the folder list).

  • Why all my favorites not copied to Favorites when I downloaded Firefox?

    All my favorites were not copied on bookmarks. Only Favorites A - H appear in my favorites, the rest of them aren't there. Why didn't he not copied all my favorites?

  • HOW DO WITHOUT LOSING THE UNSORTED BOOKMARKS BOOKMARKS

    When I imported my favorites after a system crash all finished in the UNSORTED BOOKMARKS list. When I have the TAGS and put them in them the bookmark remains also in UNSORTED BOOKMARKS. If I delete the bookmark in UNSORTED BOOKMARKS the bookmark in the tag is also removed. How can I get the bookmarks in the TAGS I want and UNSORTED BOOKMARKS without losing them? I've been loading bookmark and then make a TAG for what it or using one already made and put the bookmark in the appropriate tag but the bookmark is also still in UNSORTED BOOKMARKS. I have read and tried all the information in the FIREFOX HELP and asked this question in the RESEARCH, but everything that happens does not help. I am not a teenager and I know that my mind is not as sharp as it once was, but I'm still pretty computer savvy, so I can follow instructions well enough, but I can't seem to overcome this problem. Can someone help me plese? I have FIREFOX 26.0 and am running WINDOWS 7, 64 bit.

    The Tags file is simply a folder that shows the bookmarks that are stored elsewhere and have a tag.
    If you delete a bookmark in the file of the tag you do not delete the bookmark, but only then remove its label and keep the bookmark.
    However, if delete you the bookmark delete you the bookmark and if all bookmarks the label have been removed, then the tag is deleted as well.
    If you need to cut and paste the bookmarks and move them out of the folder not sorted to another folder, and you must keep the tags.

    I guess you have imported an HTML backup and does not include HTML tags and other annotations backup as does a JSON backup.

  • How to remove the default Unsorted Bookmarks?

    Older versions of FireFox had better feature: Add bookmark you need to click only once on the icon to bookmark and last used folders appear. "Unsorted bookmarks" appears now, without the possibility to delete. This greatly alter usability FF for the people doing the reading and intense research.

    I don't use Unsorted bookmarks at all, nor bookmarks tool bar. Is it possible to restore the basic features of FF and delete these unwanted forced options?

    Thank you.

    Unsorted Bookmarks in Firefox since version 3.0, which was released on 17/06/2008. He is missing for over 5 years now. The other "smart" folders can be deleted, but the unsorted folder cannot be deleted.

    I have seen nothing over the last 5 years, which allows the old feature to restore the places bookmarks / history system. I guess that the folder can be 'hidden' thru userChrome.css code, but will not replace "Favorite places" to try to use this folder as his "first choice for a new bookmark. And unless you are very careful, you can end up with a ton of bookmarks in the shadow folder.

  • When I select recently bookmarked it works ok, but when I select unsorted bookmarks it opens a window not closing cycles for a long time.and I want to close the window manually and not automatically

    When I use the selection recently marked with a bookmark in bookmarks, it works very well and load the page quickly and opens another window. but when I go to unsorted bookmarks and double-click on the desired bookmark it loads very slowly and cycles for a long time. If I go to the firefox icon in the Launcher on natty 11.04 with unity it shows two open windows. I click on the unsorted Bookmarks window and manually stop and it works well and unordered finishes, loading the bookmark page I was trying to see. Why the unsorted Bookmarks window closes on its own? Is there a setting I can do close automatically. It really slows down the loading of the page, I tried to see. well thank you for any help or advice.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See basic troubleshooting: make a new profile:

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

    If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
