I can isolate a bookmark with the filter, but how can I "find" a bookmark in the hierarchy of the ShowAllBookmarks window?

I want to find a bookmark in its location in the hierarchy of bookmarks, but all I can do with the filter is isolate a bookmark[s]; either using the filter of the bookmarks sidebar, or in the ShowAllBookmarks window. For instance, I know I have a certain bookmark, but I want to move it into a new "folder" and rename it, perhaps; for this I need to be able to *see* it in the hierarchy, as in the Finder of a Mac, when the filter turns up a file, then "Show Original" of "Open Enclosing Folder."

I'm just trying to understand how to use these add-ons, having just added them on, to borrow a phrase, but have now found a comment re Go Parent Folder, "This extension does not seem to work in MacOS X. " <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=659690>. Sadly [altho I really like Snow Leopard] I'm running OS X.6.7. Nonetheless a contextual menu mousing down on a "found" bookmark indeed does give the working option of "Go to Parent Folder" from the found list of the ShowAllBookmarks window, *or* the that of the sidebar window. Bravo!!
Just a question again, how would I have learned this had I not bothered the entire forum, and taken cor-el's time/effort?

How do I find the bookmarks file when I can not load the application? I.e., I can not get to the library.

My laptop died. The hard drive is in a case and accessible. It is connected to a 10 year old Pentium. How can I retrieve the bookmarks file from the Laptops drive when I can not load Firefox from that drive? I.e., I can not get to the library on the Laptop drive. I do have full access to it.

You can locate main bookmarks file, '''places.sqlite''', for restoration in another Firefox install, in your profile directory.
Since you profile is on another hard drive, the normal shortcuts to find it won't work.
On Windows XP, you can find the profile here:
''C:''\Documents and Settings\''Windows login/user name''\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\''xxxxxxxx.default''
Where:
* C:\ is replaced by the drive letter you mounted the laptop drive on.
* Windows login/username is replaced with your windows user name you used on that hard drive.
* xxxxxxxx.default is replaced with 8 random characters followed by .default, and should be the only folder in Profiles.
Once you've found the old profile, you can copy files over to a new profile. See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile and [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] for other files you may want to restore.

Where and/or how do i find my Bookmark files (folder) ??

So i accidentally ran a 'Recovery' on my computer ..and to say the least i messed things up on my computer.
All i want to do is find and save my Bookmarks from my priviest Firefox. I know that they are there, it's just i have no clue how to go about it?

Does Firefox run at the moment? If so, what do you see for Bookmarks -- just the defaults that come with the browser?
Your bookmarks are stored in a database file in your active settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder). We need some information.
(1) If Firefox runs, go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder to display your currently active settings/profile folder.
If Firefox does not run, copy and paste this to the search box on the start menu or to the address bar in a Windows Explorer window and open the most recent folder you see:
<br>%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
(2) Immediately make a copy of the bookmarkbackups folder in a safe place.
(3) Navigate up a level. Do you see any other settings folders? Do any of them show recent files in bookmarkbackups? Make copies for safekeeping.
Let us know what you find.

Computer crashed, new computer how do I find lost bookmarks?

My old computer crashed [Windows 8.1]. I have a new computer [8.1]. I do not know about file saving. If my old bookmarks still exist in some form of Firefox storage, I would like to know how to recover them.
If the old bookmarks do not exist in any form of storage in Firefox, then I would know to stop trying to recover them.
I do have the old bookmarks in a Word document (30 pages). Can the Word document be loaded into Firefox? I have tried converting it into HTML, but when loading it into Firefox I get strings of computer code instead of bookmarks.

Your bookmarks and history are stored in the ''places.sqlite'' file in your Firefox profile folder. While Firefox is closed, you can replace the current file with the old one. Doing so will replace your current set of bookmarks and history. You may want to backup the current file beforehand.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
* [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
The ''bookmarkbackups'' folder under the profile folder contains automatic backups of your bookmarks. These backups can be restored, replacing your current set of bookmarks with the old one.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

How do I find imported bookmarks

I have imported my bookmarks from IE explorer and google chrome. If I try to bookmark a new page it will ask me which folder I want to put it in. Some of the choices are folders that were imported. If I choose one of these they don't show up in my firefox bookmarks. For instance I bookmarked the weather channel and I chose the file titled" Weather" that was imported. When I go to Bookmarks to look the "Weather" file does not exist. Firefox gives me the option to put the page there but then seem to hide the folder and I'll be darned if I can find it.

OK so I found them. I have to go to Bookmarks then to Bookmarks toolbar. The Google Chrome bookmarks are at the bottom. You can move each folder to the regular Bookmarks list from here by dragging and dropping them.

I update to newest Firefox and now they are gone- it looks like a completely new Firefox. What do I do? There is nothing in my toolbar, or history, or bookmarks. I have also none of my old slides or whatever they are called when I open a new tab. HELP!

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

How to get back my Bookmarks in Safari in Mt. Lion?

Installation of Mt. Lion preserved the Bookmarks in Firefox and Chrome but not Safari. Am trying to follow the online instructions on importing into Safari, but Firefox is greyed out! How do I find the bookmarks imported into Chrome and transfer them to Safari? Also, how do I get the automatic password function to work again in Safari instead of always requiring me to enter my Word Press pass in order to access my web site? (It says LastPass cannot be used anymore.)

How do I find the location of a bookmark.

Sometimes they get moved somehow. If I search for the name I have given the bookmark, it comes up, but doesnt tell me WHERE it is filed, in my many bookmark folders, so I can move it back where it belongs. This can happen to an entire folder, and can take FOREVER to find where it has been moved to. When it comes up in a bookmark search, clicking on its' properties also does not show where the bookmark is LOCATED.

There may be extensions that can help, and bookmarks should not move of their own volition, but the easiest way to find a bookmarks location is probably to open that bookmark. If you then click on the star it will give you the edit options, that shows which folder it is in, and allows you to easily move it if you would prefer it to be elsewhere.
* see [[how do i use bookmarks?]] and the articles linked from that
I have not tried this add-on myself, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sortplaces/ and you will probably find quite a few other add-ons relating to bookmark use.

I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and now I can't find my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

My new computer has Windows 7 on it. My old computer had Windows XP. I have my old hard drive from my old computer, but even when I connect it to my new computer, I can't find my Firefox bookmarks. I can only find my Internet Explorer favorites. Any idea how I can retrieve my bookmarks?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.<br />
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders"
You may want to uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files
XP:
* x:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
Vista/Windows 7:
* x:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\

My bookmarks menu only shows ten bookmarks, but I make many more so how do I find them all on my macbook.

Firefox happily informs us that after ten bookmarks in a folder the oldest one is dropped off - however I keep dozens of bookmarks, all of which used to be kept in one long list on my firefox menu. I can find no information as to how I find the sites that have been dropped off. How can I now find old bookmarks when I have forgotten the name of the site

Note bookmarks may be viewed from
* the bookmarks icon (or menubar)
* the side bar
* the library (that allows sorting; and more columns, also with backup options etc & drag and drop)
* the bookmarks toolbar (that may have multiple bookmarks or nested folders, as do the other options) But the toolbar only displays part of the Library content.
Note there will be little arrow heads when things get too big to fit on screen ''madperson'''s [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-bookmarks-to-save-and-organize-websites link] gives more information on how to use all this.

How can I find a lost bookmark folder in another bookmark folder? I had a sticky mouse when I moved it.

How can I find a lost bookmark folder? A folder stuck on my mouse pointer I shook the mouse and it released the folder somewhere in the hundreds of other bookmark folders. I don't want to have to open every folder and search every file to locate it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Renaldo,
You might try restoring a backup of your bookmarks.
1. From the menu at the top of the Firefox window bar, click the Bookmarks menu and choose Organize Bookmarks to open the Library window.
2. Before proceeding, you should make a backup of your current bookmarks.
1. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup and choose Backup.
2. Firefox will ask you to save the bookmark backup to a folder on your hard drive. Choose a location that you will remember.
3. Your current bookmarks have been backed up to the file you selected.
3. From the toolbar on the Library window, select Import and Backup to open the Import and Backup menu, and pick Restore to see a list of available bookmark backups organized by date.
4. To restore one of the listed backups, select it from the Restore menu. Choose the newest bookmark backup that was created before the bookmarks were lost. You will lose all changes to your bookmarks that occurred after the date you select.
'''NOTE:''' To restore a backup that you saved manually, select Choose File from the Restore menu instead of selecting an automatic backup
5. A confirmation window will appear asking you to confirm replacing your bookmarks with the backup. To replace the bookmarks, press OK. To go back, press Cancel.
'''NOTE:''' You cannot undo this unless you saved a backup file as instructed above.
6. Your bookmarks have been restored to the date you selected. If your bookmarks do not show up after completing the restore process, repeat the above steps to restore an earlier backup.
If the backup follows the bookmark structure then the missing folder should be displayed
