After update (now ver. 79.0) I can no longer scroll to bottom of list of tabbed web pages saved in any Folder. These are saved with the latest at the bottom of the content of a folder. Some folders have dozens of web pages. The bottom now, and may have previously said, "Open all Tabs". The last one now if from weeks ago, not yesterday. Where did they go? JJE

You should still have "Open All in Tabs"; I can't think of any setting that would remove it.

Are you using any add-on(s) or optional userChrome.css file rule(s) that modify bookmarks in any way?

jscher2000, Only after Firefox updated (did twice???) did it lose the complete list of tabs in Folders; after closing and reboot opening Firefox again then the full list of tabs, i.e., Bookmarks, had returned. Problem was with missing tabs, not the "Open all in Tabs" option, which does appear depending on how fast I scroll. Thanks for quick help.

If you use Sync then best is to disconnect Sync temporarily during troubleshooting.

This can be caused by a problem with the places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite databases in the Firefox profile folder.

  • use "Verify Integrity" button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page

If errors are reported with "Verify Integrity", close and restart Firefox and retry.

If "Verify Integrity" cannot repair places.sqlite, rename/remove all places.sqlite and favicons.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder. Firefox will rebuild places.sqlite and restore the bookmarks from a recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.

  • keep a backup copy of places.sqlite in case a new places.sqlite database has to be created
