How do I get Firefox to search bookmarks by name again?

Asked By CuriousCat99 On

I've been using Firefox (since version 145) and have noticed that I can't search for my bookmarks by their names anymore. For example, if I search for 'Whatsapp', the bookmark for 'https://web.whatsapp.com' doesn't show up; instead, I just get regular suggestions from DuckDuckGo. I've checked the settings to make sure that bookmarks are supposed to show up when searching, but nothing seems to change. Is there anything I can adjust in about:config to resolve this issue?

I had a similar issue but found that my history suggestions worked fine, although I had disabled tab searches. That said, I tried changing some about:config settings like `browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmark`, but it didn't help much—even though it's already set to true. It seems there's a bit of a glitch with how bookmarks are displayed.

Have you checked if other suggestions work in the URL bar, like history or open tabs? Sometimes adjusting those settings can affect how bookmarks show up. You might want to look into the about:config flags related to URL bar suggestions too. There's a helpful list available in the Firefox documentation if you're looking for specific settings to adjust.
