I am a member of the local library and I sometimes want to search the catalogue or reserve a book from home using my laptop. I have Googled how to put the menbership number and pin as a book mark and it is successful-but only for a short time . The next time I go to log on automatically it doesn't work and I have to input it manually.

I have been to the library and got staff there to put the details in and it works when I am there at the library but fails when I am home.(2 very capable library people tried and both eventually failed)

My library membership number is very long and it is tedious to enter it every time-can you help please? Thanks Peter

Hello everyone,

Prior to this 110.0 release, every time I would access my Bookmarks menu, it would remember where in the list I last left off, and I could return to that section of the list next time. Now, if I go all the way to the bottom of my Bookmark list, next time FF returns me to the top of the list, and I have to scroll down again. Anyone know how to fix?

I often look up links/webpages on my phone and then transfer them to Firefox to view later. In the past, when I opened a link in firefox, then dragged the link to a specific folder on the Bookmarks toolbar, it would display the header of the link as the "name" of it. Now, when I transfer a link to a folder on the Bookmarks toolbar, it always sets the URL of the link as the "name" of the bookmark. How do I make it so that when I drag a link to the bookmarks toolbar it saves with the header rather than the URL.

If this helps, I'm using MacOS most of the time.

I've attached an image of what it's like now. The header names are before, the urls are after.

Firefox on my Mac updated today automatically, and I noticed all my bookmarks are gone. The bookmarks toolbar is there, all of the folders are there, but they are empty. I went to bookmarks - restore and they did not appear after restoring the backup from a month ago. These bookmarks marked several websites I'd collected through years of study. Could someone please help me recover these?

I am trying to remove the "Other Bookmarks" folder from Firefox 111 on a Windows 10 PC. I have tried the fix from a couple of years back, using about:config and changing the entry from true to false. The item is still flagged as false but, despite restarting Firefox and then Window, the folder is still showing. How do I get rid of this, for me at least, unnecessary folder?

I have note as have MANY others that bookmarks do not hold their place and randomly revert to the top of the list when the list is reacquired.

There have now been several updates to Firefox without a fix to this problem that requires immediate attention.

WHY hasn't this been addressed when many have complained about it?

Please respond!

My computer recently did an update and since then every time I save a bookmark it's displayed as the link to the page, which is not especially useful for me. Before it usually displayed as the page name. I typically save bookmarks by highlighting the link in the search field and dragging it to where I want it, as I have so many bookmarks that simply saving it is far too inconvenient. Is there a way I can change it so that when I save it my usual way it will show as the page name rather than the link? I tried going into troubleshoot mode and the issue still happened, so I'm fairly certain the problem isn't any of my extensions.

When I used to click on "new tab" on my old windows 10 computer, I could have the screen display about 3 rows of bookmarks with apps next to them . With my new computer--HP and windows 11, the "new tab" screen only displays only one row of about 8 bookmarks/apps and I can't add more. Why is that? How can I get the "new tab" to display more bookmarks/apps?

There exists a problem, or at least I think it is, that I have with the New Tab page. If I have a website I visit on a daily basis like Discord and Twitch, and want to get rid of it from my New Tab page by clicking on the "Delete from History" button, I expect it to disappear within a single click although it doesn't happen in that way. Instead, I need to repeat the process by many tens of times just for it to be gone, and it frustrates me. Looking for alternatives that I don't fundamentally understand, mainly found in the settings, also don't do any good.

So what's the issue? My best solution is just to keep on what I was doing until it's gone.

Hello, I've noticed a change since the last update and don't understand why?

When opening the bookmarks tab I would get the drop down of a long list of links I have saved. I sometimes bunch them into groups so when looking down the long list, I can see the link I want better when more than one are from the same website.

But my issue is that when I went through the list and found that group of links, I could click onto one to open the page. In the past before the update I could click on the bookmarks drop down again, and still see the same area of links I had just clicked on.

Now when the bookmarks drop down closes it defaults to the top of the list and I need to scan down to find the links I was looking at again. Why? Yes when I closed the browser off and reopened it the bookmarks list would start at the top again. But if left opened I could click on the bookmarks tab and it would open to the same link area I clicked onto last.

Is there a way in settings I can reverse this annoying, unnecessary change.

A word to the Firefox workers that like changing things for no reason. I use Firefox because I like the things your browser has that the others don't. Keep taking the little things away that people like, which you seem to keep doing, then my favourite browser will just become "The same old s#*@" like all the others.
