I downloaded the latest and greatest Firefox 25.0 and lost my bookmarks. I have tried logging into each site I use and bookmarking the link but no joy, I can't find them. The file is empty. What am I doing wrong?
FireFox uses Xmarks and AFAIK, works the same way. I use many different computers and all have the same bookmarks. And you can also go back and restore old bookmarks.SeilerBird said:What you are doing wrong is using Firefox. With Chrome your bookmarks are stored in the cloud and can never get lost. When I get a new Chromebook I log on and the whole computer looks exactly like it did in the old Chromebook. All my bookmarks, contacts and other stuff is never lost. A lot of people don't like having things in the cloud but the amount of time it saves me is priceless.
Toolbar or just bookmarks? If toolbar, perhaps you hit F11. And I think that is a default when you update. That F11 will toggle the menu bar (with your bookmarks) off and on. Press F11 a couple of times and see if that was your problem.Roy M said:Tom, I have been quite happy with Firefox. Don, I want to restore my old bookmarks but have not figured out how to do that.
UPDATE: I came home, turned on the 'puter and the toolbar was right where it was supposed to be. Darned computers, we don't get along well at all.

Even if you do NOT touch the Fn key? Function F11 & F12, (but NOT F11) changes my brightness here. Prses only the F11 key.Rene T said:F11 on my Lenovo decreases the brightness of the screen. F12 increases the brightness.
