I got some random selection of Bookmarks suddenly lost from Firefox Bookmark Folders, some Folders entirely cleared… I’m I the only one?!

    Hope you get your issue sorted.

    This seems to be a bug, affecting big sized folders ( Folders with subfolders and lots of Bookmarks ), these are the folders that got Bookmarks removed from them ( in my case they were political which spooked me a bit )…

    I should join Mozilla’s forums and talk about this, it’ll be noticed there by the Devs, but… yeah… Sync is not enough to save your Bookmarks, and you should always keep a local copy… Luckily I did … 😮‍💨

      Intriguing. How many bookmarks are we talking about, if you can estimate? Did the list extend off the monitor?

        I’m guessing 100 bookmakrs lost

        Did the list extend off the monitor?

        What does this mean ? I have other Bookmarks stored in Tab Stash extension, they weren’t affected

          Wow, that is a lot of lost bookmarks. That sucks!

          What does this mean ?

          I meant if they were mostly in one folder, if the list is so long that when you open the folder, the bookmarks continue past the bottom of the screen so you’d have to scroll to reach the bottom. One of my folders is like that 😅👀

            that is a lot of lost bookmarks

            Yeah, and a lot of research gone, and a lot of work to get them organized, I still have most of them in a local backup… 😮‍💨

            the bookmarks continue past the bottom of the screen

            Yeah, lol… In my case you have to scroll down to see other subfolders, which contain more subfolders and finally you get a list of Bookmarks that < again > goes off the screen…
