Bookmarks Keywords missing since updating to firefox 37.0.1

Hello, and thank you in advance for reading my mail.
I am using Firefox 37.0.1 on a Windows7-64 OS.
I also use Xmarks to sync my bookmarks with Chrome.
I always use bookmarks to create shortcuts I can use in the address bar to speed up my use of firefox. I set keywords such as
a for http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%s (amazon uk search engine).
I tried to type in the usual a then my search but got directed to google search.
When I look through my bookmarks folder (a long list of sites and search engines with a one or two word keyword) I found that all my keywords are missing! I also see that all my tags are missing however I can live without these as I don't use them so much but I use my keywords all the time and having them all disappear is a real problem.
Has this happened to others, is there a way to restore them and if not, and if I manually go through putting them all back, will the same thing happen on the next update?
If its at all relevant I use an number of addons which I could list but I don't see how anything other than xmarks should affect this.

Note that you can set a keyword to an installed search engine in "Options/Preferences > Search".
Keywords set that way are not stored as a bookmark, but are stored in the search-metadata.json file.

    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop.

    Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I have a problem with the website shortcuts I have on on desktop. I have a few of these shortcut to website I use a lot. When I click on the short I get the message "windows cannot find [then the web address] make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." I tried deleting the shortcut and setting it up again but still get the message.

    Try to redo the default browser and make another browser like IE the default browser and then let Firefox do it again.

  • Google fonts not displaying correctly since updating to Firefox 31.0

    Since updating to Firefox 31.0, the vast majority of Google / web fonts are not displaying correctly, including icons that are being replaced with random characters. When I view the Google web fonts page, only a few display correctly, the rest just default to a sans-serif font.
    - I've tried running in safe mode with no add-ons enabled.
    - I've tried disabling all add-ons then re-enabling one by one.
    - I've checked the tickbox in the font settings for 'Allow pages to use their own fonts' is ticked
    Any help appreciated, it's got quite frustrating now.
    Thanks, Greg

    You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
    *http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
    You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
    *[ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    You can check the <b>gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website

    Since updating to Firefox 4 on my OSX 10.5.8 mac Firefox will not go to any website. Firefox will launch but it won't load anything, the page is entirely blank - no home page loads - nothing. Also - It will not let me install any add ons. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. other apps such as Safari and Mail work as normal. I need Firefox - please help if you can. Thanks

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • Since updating to firefox 25 my "undo closed tab", "restore recently closed tabs", and "restore previous session" are greyed out, I have tried resetting default

    I have only had this problem since updating to firefox 25. I have already tried resetting the ff deafaults. it did restore the "undo close tab" for a short while. but when i exited and restarted ff i have the same problem again. I don't want to have to keep resetting the defaults, because it is too time consuming to then set all my preferences again.

    I had the same difficulty. Could not use the Ctrl+Shift+T combo to undo close tabs. The solutions mentioned here did not work. I turned off the add-on "Tab Mix Plus" and the keystroke combo worked. Updating to the latest version of Tab Mix Plus solved the issue.

  • Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers.

    Since updating to Firefox 23.0.1, I am unable to connect to our company servers. The error message is "Certificate type not approved for application.", and it gives me no option to create an exception.
    In previous versions, Firefox gave the option of creating a security exception, and then everything worked as expected. The new version does not give this option, and hence I cannot connect to our company servers.
    I can connect using Explorer, Opera, Chrome, etc., without any problems. Only Firefox refuses to connect.
    Please advice.

    The issue is not with SSL or TLS. The issue is with Firefox.
    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, but this is clearly a bug in Firefox, where the ability to create a security exception has been disabled in this case.
    Other browsers, as well earlier versions of Firefox, allow security exceptions to be created, which completely solves the issue.
    How do I go about reporting this bug?

    since updating to firefox 09 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work. How do I fix this, please? I have a Gateway laptop. This has never happened before with other updates.
    Thanks so much!!

    Thank you so much for your link - unfortunately it is totally beyond my skills to understand or correct the bug as posted. I can find the touchpad icon and right click to open the options and that's about my speed. If this is a bug should I uninstall Firefox 9? Thanks so much...

  • Fonts rendering incorrectly since update to Firefox 13.0.1

    Since I updated to Firefox 13.0.1, any website using the Helvetica Neue font is rendering an outline font instead. I do have this font installed on my computer, and cannot uninstall it as I am a graphic designer and I use it all the time. Any change we can get a fix on this?
    I just pasted one example, but even this page is doing it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/desktop/d1/form?search=Fonts+rendering+incorrectly+since+update+to+Firefox+13.0.1. I also know Pinterest does it.

    There may be a problem with the Helvetica Neue font if Firefox is using another font instead.
