Why are my bookmarks becoming invisible?

Ever since I downloaded the latest version of Firefox, I've been having display issues with my bookmarks toolbar. Whenever I mouse over the last five or six bookmarks, their icons disappear until I reload the page. I cannot access any of the bookmarks that have been disappearing in this way, but the rest of my 40+ bookmarks are fine.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

I don't use sync and am not signed in? Why are my bookmarks syncing?

My office computer has one set of bookmarks I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I don't use sync and am not signed into sync on either PC. Why are my bookmarks syncing between the two PCs? For instance, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu above a separator line that I do not use at work. I deleted them. I get home and find those same bookmarks gone from my home PC. I don't want to sync anything between the two computers, why is this happening?

Perhaps an add-on is syncing these for you.
The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
'''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
To Refresh Firefox:
# Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
#*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
#Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
#Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.

Why are Safari bookmarks taking the place of Firefox bookmarks on my Macbook.

I installed Mozilla Firefox on my Macbook. My Safari bookmarks have populated where my Firefox bookmarks should be and my Sync account exports no Firefox bookmarks. Can anyone help me with this problem? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. Still the Safari bookmarks and Sync is doing nothing.

As soon as I submitted this question, I noticed the Firefox bookmarks toolbar was suddenly populated my Safari bookmarks from my Macbook Air. The Sync account on my Mac had exported my Safari bookmarks to my Desktop PC. I freaked out and then restored my bookmarks from >Library>Import and Backup. I have close to 1000 bookmarks that I have saved. I am moving and need to pack away my PC and I will only have use of my Macbook. And I rely heavily on my Firefox bookmarks for research. Thank you anyone for helping me figure out why my Safari bookmarks have overrode my Firefox Sync account and toolbar.

Why are my bookmarks disappearing then reappearing hours to days later?

I have an iPhone 4S. After updating to iOS 6.0.1, my Safari bookmarks disappeared. They reappeared, but they continue to disappear. They'll comeback at random times - sometime hours, sometimes days later. Anyone experience this and/or know the solution? Thanks!

Interesting never noticed that before.
The pins on the images in the film strip are toggled on and off by the menu item Show Place badges, under the gear,
Why that is toggled on when you select an image, view it and drop back to film strip mode is unknown. Doesn't seem to be a use for it. If the badges are a problem you can toggle them off by going to this menu. If you need them on before going to view mode you can toggle them on here.
You could report this to Apple Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback as a bug.

Why are my bookmarks blocked

For several days, "my bookmarks" are not being displayed in my Firefox home page. There is a message displayed in a small window indicating possible causes, however:
I do not use Norton Firewall or any other Norton product
Javascript is enabled
I use a my.myway.com homepage which displays correctly in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox.
My computer is Windows 7 64-bit.
Any suggestions?

Try to clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Why are my bookmarks not in the dropdown menu?

I upgraded to the Firefox 4 beta version and none of my bookmarks show up in the dropdown menu. Id also like to point out thatnone of my previously saved passwords show up and Firefox doesnt ask me if i want to save them when i enter them. Im not sure if these are just bugs in the beta version but if they could be fixed that would be a great help.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Do you see the bookmarks if you click the new bookmark button on the Bookmarks Toolbar or on the Navigation Toolbar if the Bookmarks Toolbar is hidden?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Why are my bookmarks not organised by date anymore?

So a few days ago my bookmarks started playing up, a few appeared without logos near the top of the list, not in date order. I restarted my MacBook yesterday and now they are completed unorganised, I have ones from months ago at the bottom and they are no longer in date order like they used to be. How can I arrange them so at the bottom of the list are the most recently added ones? I can't find anything I am looking for! Thanks.

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.

Why are my bookmarks disappearing?

Recently when I reset Safari all my bookmarks disappear. This hasn't happened until the last three times I've reset Safari. In the past, when I did a reset, my bookmarks stay tho the history, caches and downloads are deleted. I would like to keep my bookmarks, any help?

Hello! Try repairing permissions in apps>utilities>disk utility>repair permissions then restart and see if next time the bookmarks stay put. Also you could use SafariBookmarkExporter to save a copy. Tom

Why are my bookmarks showing up on the bookmark toolbar?

i've bookmarked a couple sites and when i bring down the bookmark toolbar none of the sites are on there.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

I can't print my PDF document. Why are the bookmarks outlined in red ink?

I installed Acrobat Pro and have problems with PDF docuents in Adobe Reader ever since. Now it only prints half a PDF document and my printer says I have the wrong size paper installed. It's a plain and simple 81/2 x 11 document. In looking closely at the bookmarks on the side of the document, I notice individual pages have red ink boxes around part of the text in the document. This is the only part that prints on the document.
I think this is related to Acrobat Pro forms, but I don't see any way to keep Acrobat from screwing up my PDF documents so I can print them out.

This just started happening to me today. Did you ever get this solved?

I followed the instructions to copy and paste ALL profile files from old PowerBook to new MacBook Pro, so why are no bookmarks now shown in Firefox?

From the page
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile#w_copying-files-between-profile-folders
After dragging and dropping the profile folder from the old PowerBook to the new MacBook Pro, I followed the copy/paste instructions, apparently successfully, to replace all the files in the latter with all the files in the former -- essentially to transfer my Firefox browser functionality from the old computer to the new. However, on starting Firefox, I have ZERO bookmarks (in other words, Firefox looks like it did when I downloaded and installed it a couple days ago). One note: When I performed the operation, I had used the new version of Firefox almost not at all, yet in the course of copying and pasting I had to permit replacement of HUNDREDS of bookmark files with identical names. How could THIS be?!?

It is normally best to only restore personal data that you really need (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) and not a full profile folder.
The xxxx in the name of the JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.jsonlz4) denotes the number of bookmarks in the file and a file hash ($$$$) is appended to check if it is necessary to save a new backup, so only if there is a different hash because bookmarks were modified then a new backup is created.
If you remove the newer backups that were created before you restored the backup and only leave the bookmark backups from the saved profile then Firefox should rebuild the bookmarks when you remove all the places files.

Can you attach a screenshot to clarify what you mean with ''all those hundreds of bookmarks, now residing in the profile folder''?

Why are new tabs becoming new windows when I open them?

When I open a new tab (via a link or through Ctrl+T) and click on it while it's still loading, sometimes it will split from the others to become a new window. This is rather irritating. What could be causing this? Is it an option I'm missing or some feature I'm accidentally setting off?
It happens most frequently when a tab is loading, but it doesn't have to be. For example, when I switched tabs to paste my Troubleshooting Information here, this tab split into a new window.

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.
