Do you have a bookmarkbackups folder with JSON backups?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

How do I replace bookmark bar that was lost when a new Mozilla Fox Start page suddenly appeared with a Zone Alarm Community Toolbar, and nothing I have so far tried, working with "Show all Bookmarks", works ("Unable to process the backup file).

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?

Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Double click Bookmarks button to open the Library window directly ("Show All Bookmarks" function)

I have a number of folders in bookmarks, and I edit it frequently by clicking "Show All Bookmarks" and opening a Library.
Previously, after clicking Bookmarks button, "Show All Bookmarks" appeared on top of the list, and now it's at the bottom.
Please, add double click function on Bookmarks button so that it opens Library window directly.

*[[/questions/997080]] Is it possible to move "show all bookmarks" in the bookmark-menu to the top?

I need to delete a bookmark to a site that no longer exists. Since it won't load, I don't get the star. Since it's not in a folder, it won't show on the Show All Bookmarks page. grrrr.

When I pull up the Show All Bookmarks window, I only see bookmarks already placed in folders, not the uncategorized ones.
The star option only works when the bookmark can actually be loaded.
How do I delete a bookmark that is now a broken link but not placed into a folder?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should see the star even if the bookmark doesn't load. You can try offline mode (File > Work Offline).

How do I change back to having "bookmark this page" on the top of the list and subordinate "all bookmarks" lower since I use former 100 times more than the later on a daily basis?

I create about 25 -50 new bookmarks daily for my business. So, it would seem user friendly to put that command at the top of the scroll down list. Maybe I am unique and others want to "show all bookmarks" repeatedly. I can't understand why one would need to do that more often than add multiple bookmarks on a daily basis. i look forward to your response,. Respectfully MC

cor-el, as you said, that solution puts the "show all bookmarks" all the way at the bottom. How do you either make "bookmark this page" first without changing the order of the other options or force "show all bookmarks" to be second instead of last, the way the menu was before?

Firefox will no longer open. all proceedures have been tried. there's an error in generating a crash report. If I reinstall firefox from scratch, will I loose all bookmarks?

I had power hits that cycled my computer a few times. I had to do a recovery from a week ago. Firefox will no longer start. A crash report pop-up shows an error and cannot send a report. I'm assuming the program will have to be reinstalled. Will I loose all previous bookmarks. Doing a windows search for bookmarks only shows about 1/3 of saved bookmarks. Are they gone too.

I gambled, and all bookmarks returned.

Awesome Bar no longer searches all bookmarks after update to FF 34

I just upgraded to FF34 and having a horrible time getting everything functioning right again. My current problem is that when I type a name in the Awesome Bar, it will not look at ALL my bookmarks. It does show some, but not all. For example if I type Dev, it properly shows my bookmark for Dev Guru. If I type fire, it shows nothing even though I have 4-5 bookmarks related to firefox. If I type the letter "s" I can see 5 related bookmarks but not the proper one. I have location bar in the settings set to History and Bookmarks. I have not found any solutions on the web and am at a loss as to what to try next. I have even deleted the bookmark and added it back. Does not seem to help.

I ended up finding my own solution. For anyone who is interested here is what I had to do to fix this problem:
Steps to solve the problem of the Awesomebar (Location Bar) not finding some bookmarks:
Press Cntrl+Shift+B to show all bookmarks
Click on Import and Backup
Click on Backup
Save the file
Close Firefox
Navigate to the Mozilla Profile Director (On a Windows 7 Box it is most likely in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\YouFireFoxProfileName)
Make a copy of the bookmarkbackups folder, places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal
Delete all the files in the bookmarkbackups folder
Delete places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal
Open Firefox
Press Cntrl+Shift+B to show all bookmarks
Click on Import and Backup
Click on Restore >> Choose File
Select the file from earlier

I updated to the new firefox. but now the show all bookmarks option is gone.. how do i get it back?

how do i get the show all bookmarks option back?

For me, the option to show all bookmarks now appears at the bottom of the bookmarks listed after I click on the bookmarks icon.

Acrobat 9 bug? - Print Pages function does not print all bookmarked pages

We use the Bookmark Print Pages function to allow for easy printing of sections of large PDFs. All of the pages that should be printed are bookmarked. The bookmarked pages print correctly in Adobe 8, but not in Adobe 9.
I have put together a javascript workaround, but would prefer a solution that does not require distributing a file to all users.
I would appreciate any suggestions on other possible workarounds.
Here is the bug report I submitted to Adobe:
Concise problem statement: The "Print Pages" function for bookmarks does not print all bookmarked pages in Adobe Reader 9.0 and 9.1. The same bookmarks print properly in Adobe Reader, Standard, and Pro 8.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Open the Adobe Acrobat SDK JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference PDF (Version 8.1, April 2007) in Adobe Reader 9.0 or 9.1.
2. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
3. Open the same PDF in Adobe Reader, Standard, or Pro 8. (I used Adobe Professional 8.1.3.)
4. View the bookmarks. Right-click on New Features and Changes and choose "Print Pages."
Results and Expected results: Printing from v8 results in 12 pages. Printing from v9 results in 9 pages. Pages 741, 754, and 769 did not print from v9.

I'm having the same issues. Using the latest version 9.3.3. Is this a bug? I tired calling adobe but their CR sounds like 3rd country only. Anyone can shed a light on this issue?

Acrobat 7.0 Collapse All bookmarks

Is there any way to collapse all nested bookmarks not only the Top-level. I have PDF files that can be drilled down to the exact page using the bookmark tabs. The trouble I am having is that once my Framemaker document is converted to PDF all of its book marks are automatically expanded. I know you can choose Option>Collapse Top-Level Bookmark, this in nice however it doest not collapse the bookmarks that are nested under those top-level marks.
Thanks

Here's the basic script. If you need help using it with a custom menu item or toolbar button, post again. Note that the function can be used to open all bookmarks as well, dependening on the bOpen parameter. You can run this from the JavaScript console (Ctrl + J) buy cutting & pasting the code, select all of it with the mouse, and hitting Ctrl + Enter, assuming you have the document you want to affect open.
function setParentBookmarks(bm, bOpen) {
    var i;
    // If the current bookmark has any children...
    if (bm.children !== null) {
        // Open/Close the current bookmark
        bm.open = bOpen;
        // Continue with all children of this bookmark
        for (i = 0; i < bm.children.length; i += 1) {
            setParentBookmarks(bm.children[i], bOpen);
// Close all parent bookmarks
setParentBookmarks(bookmarkRoot, false);

When NOT using icons on the toolbar, side-bar drop-down for additional toolbar items has disappeared with Firefox 4 and accessing these items requires clicking 'Bookmarks', then 'Show all bookmarks' then 'Toolbar'--ugh, what a pain.

On older versions of Firefox, Toolbar links ran across the top of my screen, with a drop-down to the far right which would show additional Toolbar items for which there was not room on the screen.
With Firefox 4, if I'm not using icons (text only), the dedicated Toolbar drop-down is gone and I have to first click 'Bookmarks' to the right of the Toolbar ribbon, then 'Show All Bookmarks', then 'Toolbar' in order to access my additional Toolbar links. Could anyone have made it any harder?
Why doesn't someone just restore the drop-down at the far right of the Toolbar so that all of my Toolbar items (which I prefer to keep separately from the regular Bookmark items, else I would have just plain bookmarked those items in the first place) are readily accessible?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

Bookmarks do NOT open in a browser window when click "show all bookmarks"

Currently using Firefox 30.0.3 Mac OS 10.9.5. When I tried to edit my collection of bookmarks buy opening the "show all bookmarks" in the pull-down menu., nothing happened. This usually opens a new tab or window with the bookmarks displayed. I then researched HELP and tried all those solutions to no avail. Even where the help topic says a bookmarks window will open, it does not. I have no way of editing or deleting en masse outdated bookmarks. Yes I can do so individually through the bookmark button on the toolbar - what a pain in the _________s.
Is this problem intentional, or a glitch?

Cory MH - Thank you for your suggestions. The bookmarks window DOES open when Firefox is in safe mode. So I went through the troubleshooting process and nothing there helped. Extensions (there are only two) are disabled, I am using the default appearance. All plug-ins are set on "ask to activate". I should mention that this bookmark problem only just began, and never happened before the most recent updates - there were two only a day or so apart.

My bookmarks folder appears in the Bookmarks menu, but bookmarks do not appear when clicking "Show All Bookmarks." Bookmark Manager appears, but shows no bookmarks at all.

When opening the Bookmarks menu, I see my bookmarks folder in the dropdown and can access them from there. However, if I click "Show All Bookmarks" the manager launches, but shows no bookmarks of any kind. No defaults, folders, uncategorized links...nothing.
As such, I can still use the bookmarks while surfing, but I can't organize, delete, or export them since they don't show up in the bookmark manager.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

beatngu13
I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Since updating to FF4 my bookmarks have dissappeared from the sidebar. When going to 'Show all bookmarks' there is only a recent one! However they are all listed in the dropdown. Saving only save the single one. Restoring a saved file makes no difference.

On the previous version of FF the All-in-One side bar showed my Bookmarks OK. Upgrading to FF4 has lost them all, except a recent one, from the sidebar. However they are available from the drop-down via the Firefox button at top left. Then when I go to 'show all bookmarks' the only one shown is the recent one. Saving the bookmarks results in that single one being saved only! Deleting all the bookmarks and re-installing a backup results in the same happening, they list ok on the dropdown but not in the side bar. Any ideas?

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
