I've noticed the bookmark symbol (star) is missing from my version of Firefox for Android. Until I can recover it I cannot save bookmarks anymore.

It is nowhere to be seen. Not on the browser bar, address bar, nowhere. Where has it gone? Where do I find it (if anywhere)?

You can see the Bookmark Icon (star) on the left hand side of the browser window. Click on the (:) dotted lines at the extreme end there you will find the star mark there.

Hi,

I've posted a screenshot of a typical Firefox webpage on my Android tablet so that you can see there is no bookmark symbol (star) and no (:) on the left of the browser to be seen (though there is a full colon on the right, but when clicked there's nothing within to help). Could it be a setting I need to adjust or an error with the latest Firefox for Android update?

Many thanks for your help and attention,

Hi,

Good News!!!

I went back to the colon as instructed and found nothing. HOWEVER...

Whilst on a page I clicked on a space where no icon is located (should be there but isn't) and lo-and-behold the page was bookmarked!

I have attached another photo showing just what opens when I click on the (:). For those like myself experiencing the problem, you might see a space where the icon should be - click on the space. Problem solved!

Many thanks for your help and perseverance. Really appreciated.

All the very best,

When is this going to be fixed? I seem to recall the star was there months ago and disappeared on an update!
