I can not find the bookmarks on the 3-poits menu as on the following help topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-bookmark-folders-firefox-android#w_create-a-new-bookmark-folder There are several options like the ones below, but Bookmarks are not there: Select tabs, Share all tabs, Tabs settings, etc. What is this issue, and how can I manage tabs folders, please)?

When my desktop Icons get scrambled or gone in Windows 7, I delete the Icon Cache file in Users\My name\Appdata\Local. (IconCache.db) I have been doing this on and off for years. I had to do this today and all my Desktop URL Icons were missing. The Urls are still there, but they all just have the default Windows Icon. I have tried everything I know to get them back but no luck. I have tried just going to the site and Book Marking it again, but that sometimes works but most of the time not. I copy the new book mark and paste too the Desktop and still, just MS Default. I remember at one time I could get to all these Icons. But now I cannot find them.. I don't know what happened but, Please Help..!! I need my Icons...

Hi folks. Currently I am using Firefox Sync to sync my bookmarks between an andriod, Linux laptop and Linux desktop. At times I have difficulty relocating a bookmark to a given position on my desktop or laptop, but my biggest problem centers around bookmarks that I relocate in a different place in the "Unsorted" folder or to a different folder not always appearing in the new position on the other machines. In an attempt to troubleshoot this further I went to my Linux desktop, signed out of FF sync, backed up my 2000+ bookmarks, exported my bookmarks (both to local directories), exited firefox and then renamed the places.sqlite. When I then attempted to restore from json file and when I input bookmarks from the html file I saw all my bookmark directories recreated but all my files were dumped into the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder. I finally had to put the places.sqlite file back in place in order to continue working, however, my original problems remains. When I attempt to verify the places database I get the following, but clearly something is out of whack. How best can I create a cleaner bookmarks database?

So, any ideas how I can move forward and get my bookmarks working between between all my machines?

Thanks very much for your time, John C

I cant transfer my bookmarks from safari to firefox - how can i grant access to firefox for my safari bookmarks.plist please?

I've found the file and copied it to my desktop and a flashdrive, how do I add it to firefox now. The normal way can't get past the 'explicit permission needed' stage. Is there a way to import it another way? Thanks.
