I want to keep my most visited sites bookmarked but only displays about last 10

Like IE: I can keep adding favorites, forever & still see all listed in a long drop-down list or in folders. But when I bookmark a page in FF & say add it to a folder, then browse some more, & I want to visit my popular sites like my YouTube page, I only see about 10 sites displayed, so if I delete a couple then I can see my YouTube channel again to click on it. But I didn't realize that deleting any recent ones, even if in a folder already, will delete them permanently, defeating the purpose of having them. I want to see a longer list, again not necessarily as long as IE, but readily available.
Hope I explained it well enough for someone to understand what I meant.

There are several different ways to view your bookmarks, some of which are as long as you could ever want.
(1) Bookmarks Menu
If you have the orange Firefox button, you can hover over the triangle next to Bookmarks to display the full menu. Or, if it's more convenient, press Alt+b to display the classic Bookmarks menu.
(2) Bookmarks Sidebar
Press Ctrl+b to open or close the Bookmarks Sidebar. It's also accessible from the full View menu.
(3) Bookmarks Drop-down button
I can't keep track of where this is on the toolbars any more, but there is one somewhere.
(4) Bookmarks Toolbar
Similar to the IE Links toolbar.

  • I want to keep or add things to my most visited site.

    I want to be able to keep my most visited sites and add some new ones. why do they move all over the place?

    * "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
    * The bookmarks that show up in such smart folder listing are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
    * Such lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default and you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
    * The items that are removed from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
    * Any actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.

  • Modifying url in most visited site?

    I use the "most visited sites" bookmark for nearly all my regular navigation. One of the sites I've most visited has changed a bit (it's an automotive forum that updated their forum software), so the URLs (3 of them) to the subforums that I like to visit no longer apply.
    Rather than waiting for Firefox to see that I'm visiting the new URL as opposed to the old one (and that URL I have been visiting for years and years), I wonder if there is a way to modify the entry in the most visited sites. Or modify wherever firefox stores that a particular URL has been visited x number of times so decides to include and rank it within the most visited list.
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Thank you cor-el. I installed SQLite manager and browsed to places.sqlite. From there I looked in the moz_places table and could clearly see the visit count. I was able to easily modify both the # of visits, and the URL, and the changes were properly reflected in the most visited menu. This will allow me to update the URLs to my most visited forum.
    Thank you!!!

  • Need to restore the feature of most visited sites shown upon opening a new tab

    I have checked through my add-ons and can't find the solution. I've read answers that state go to the about: config. I can't find that either. I simply want my most visited sites upon opening a new tab feature restored. Help, please.

    Hello tee6942, is about:config not about: config (no space between : and config)
    in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-find-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs Location bar], type [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] and press Enter.
    The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.

  • When I open a new tab, instead of showing my most visited sites, it automatically brings me to a website I haven't favorited or visited.

    Pretty much as the question states. Whenever I open a new tab, it directs me to this site called Babylon Search, some sort of search engine-looking website that I suspect could contain malware or something of the like. I've tried everything I can and searched through all of the help topics to find a way to restore the ability to preview my most-visited sites without any luck.

  • Opening a new tab brought up a tab with thumbnails of most-visited sites; it stopped doing that. Any idea why, or how to get it back?

    When I clicked on the "New Tab" button to the right of the open tabs, the newly opened tab would have thumbnails of my most-visited sites along with a sidebar for recently closed tabs and some other useful links. For some reason, it's stopped doing that, and now just brings up a blank new tab. Is there a way to get this feature back?

    That is not a built-in feature of Firefox. There are a few add-ons that offer that type of functionality such as:
    * Speed Dial- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/speed-dial/
    * Fast Dial - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/
    You may have got this feature as part of the Google Toolbar, for details see http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?answer=115561

  • My most visited sites stays blank, used to work, maybe Norton?

    my "most visited sites" remains blank, but only a few days ago it was working fine. Could it be a new version of firefox or the new version of Norton that got installed? Actually most visited gets populated during a session but when I close firefox it all goes away. Next session I have to start all over.

    There are a number of different "speed dial" or "fast dial" add-ons to do this. To see which one you had before, check your disabled add-ons. There could be an updated version.
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
    On the left side, click Extensions, then scroll down to the grayed out ones. Can you spot it?

    Are these purchased songs from iTunes?  If so they do not count against your cloud storage.

  • How do I get a refund for a book when I wanted the audio book? I bought both but only need the audio book..

    How do I get a refund for a book when I wanted the audio book? I bought both but only need the audio book. I don't even know how to use the book. The only reason that I bought it was it was cheaper and I thought that it was the audio book.

    There are no refunds.

  • One of my most visited site is missing from Most Visited Tab.

    I look at my browsing history and it shows a site i visit a lot as in the top 5 sites I visit. This site does not show in my Most Visited Tab.

    the most visited "header" in my toolbar lists all sorts of sites that are NOT my most visited. And when I pull it up under bookmarks\organize bookmarks the listing there is mostly my most visited, but still shows sites that I have only visited once or twice.

  • How can I alphabatize my bookmarks and still keep my most visited ones at the top?

    If there are instructions for this I haven't found them.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == not helpful

    Sorry, there's no preference for sorting in that manner. Sort by Name doesn't account for the most visited, it's a straight alpha sort per folder. The Most Visited folder, on the Bookmarks Toolbar, is actually a separate algorithmic calculation based upon how often a bookmarked website is visited, and I believe that calculation includes all pages visited at that domain based upon the browsing history.
