Why do I bookmark a page, only to have it disappear after rebooting my comptuer?

I will add a bookmark, which will show up in the bookmarks list. If I reboot the system, they disappear. This has happened at least a dozen times.
Is it possible to retrieve these bookmarks?

Hello,
Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
#Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
#*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
#*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
# At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
# Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
# In the new window that appears, click OK.
# Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

    Question why has my balance on my itune account have totally disappeared when I have only been using it for less than a year? had still fair bit of money in it too. around $60

    First, make sure you're logged into the iTunes Store using the account ID and password you set up, or used, when you redeemed your card/gift.  If you are, try signing out of the account and back in.
    If you're sure you are using the correct account and that you're signing in to the iTunes Store, and signing out and back in doesn't help, go to the Purchase History and review your purchases to make sure that you should indeed have a balance left. iTunes doesn't always refresh the balance it shows, so it's possible you spent the money and it just wasn't being reflected in the display. This display error can usually be corrected by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in.
    If you confirm that you should have balance left but the iTunes Store isn't showing it correctly, send a message to the iTunes Store customer service department through the contact form you'll find by selecting the most applicable section of their Support page (select the Contact Support link and follow the instructions) and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

  • Why when I bookmark a page and return to it later, the star I clicked to bookmark it is no longer yellow, but I didn't delete the bookmark?

    When I bookmark a page by clicking the star on the Awesome Bar, it turns yellow. But when I return to the page that I just bookmarked, it's no longer yellow; it's transparent. But, I didn't delete the bookmark, so I have no idea why it's no longer bookmarked. Can someone help me out with this? Thank you!

    It is possible that you got redirected to another web page.
    Does this bookmark still show up in the folder where you saved it or is it gone there as well?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Only some of my folders are in the drop down when I try to bookmark a page. I have many more folders, but can't bookmark to them

    I used to be able to choose from all folders when bookmarking a site. I was able to click on 'Choose' and all folder would drop down. After a firefox update yesterday, only 5 folders show up, along with the 'Choose' option. When I click on 'Choose' it takes me to to 'UnSorted Bookmarks'.
    Has this happened to anyone else and how do I get out of this?

    Hi All,
    The exact same thing is happening to me. The drop down only shows 5 of my bookmark folders. Unless I hit "Choose" then they all show but I don't want to take the extra steps. I have 9 different folders and I want to be able to just bookmark a website and drop it into that folder. I end up forgetting which folders I have b/c I only see 5 of the 9. Yes I can see them all when I hit choose but that defeats the purpose of having the bookmark function be a quick & simple one. If I have to "Organize" the folders every single time I favorite a site then its pointless to even show 5 of the folders you might as well not show any. Furthermore I can't even choose the 5 folders I want to show (i.e. the ones I use the most). I would be happy if I could opt to have my top 5 folders in the drop down menu & then the ones I don't use as much be under choose. But there is no option (that I can find) that lets you do that. I've even deleted, renamed, repositioned the folders and nothing is working.
    Btw this only happens when I 1st bookmark a new page. Under Bookmarks I can see all of my folders & links (no problem). This only happens when I am 1st bookmarking a link & want to drop it into a folder I've created.
    Please let me know if there is a way to fix this or is this a system issues.
    Thank you,
    Melina

  • Why are some of my pages centering themselves (vertically and horizontally) after I select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting..." option under Add Headers and Footers?

    I'm working in Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I added header and footers through Adobe. I needed to select the "Shrink document to avoid overwriting the document's text and graphics" feature under the "Appearance Options..." option within the "Add Header and Footer" window. Some of the pages in my document that only had a few lines of text on them centered themselves (vertically and horizontally). How can I prevent that from happening?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • My bookmarks bar w/zoom in/out feature disappeared after changing display, are they gone gone?

    Out of the blue my freemake video downloader app window opened to a size so lg it covered my taskbar + the "close" button & scrollbar were extended beyond desktop. It was unuseable I had to use ctrl+alt+delete to close it.
    I thought malware may've crawled onto me so I ran malwarebytes, it found a couple files (5-1-5.........)with a long string of #'s & a bunch of OpenCandy files-all were quarentined. No fix After going into display settings, changed themes, started, restarted . I replaced freemake w/a fresh copy.
    In all honesty I know not at what point my button w/arrows (side list of bookmarks I'd copied & pasted the url into (not the usual bkmks) and the toolbar w/zoom options were gone. I've located & opened FF profiles.default & it listed NO profile file in the entire FF Profile folder.. Any where else I might hunt for those separate bookmarks ? I read data, lotsa red underlining? Thank you

  • I downloaded and reinstalled Mozilla but still cannot find "recently bookmarked" among my bookmarks. It seems to have simply disappeared.

    I asked this question yesterday. The response was to update Firefox. I tried that but the update failed. So I downloaded and reinstalled Firefox. Still no "recently bookmarked" link in my list of bookmarks.

  • I'm unable to bookmark a page in the folde I want. Only two of my folders is hown. HOW DO i SEE THEM ALL?

    I have never found Firefox's bookmarking very intuitive- only frustrating. I am unable to bookmark a page into the folder I want because only two of my folders are shown and they aren't the one's I want. How do I get all my folders shown when I hit bookmark this page? I have followed the instructions to no avail.

  • How can I collapse all my sub-folders when bookmarking a page?

    In Safari when I go to bookmark a page all my sub-folders and their own sub-folders are shown,
    Is there a way to collapse them all into just the main folders and then being able to choose the correct sub-folder from them to bookmark the page.
    I have about 50 main folders but a few hundred sub-folders so when I go to bookmark a page it's very time consuming and annoying.
    In Firefox just the main folders are shown, so I just choose the main folder and expand that and choose the appropriate sub-folder, Job done in seconds!
    Many thanks in advance [ I hope! :-) ]
