Visual bookmarks can be installed in all of today's most popular browsers. This is a very useful and necessary addition for the browser. They are saved in case the operating system is reinstalled, and they can be synchronized between browsers. All this makes bookmarks convenient and practical for those who like to travel on the Internet.

Working with bookmarks can significantly save time when moving from one page to another. If you like a site, you bookmark it. Then you can come back after some time. Gradually, a lot of such bookmarks accumulate, and it is difficult to remember what site you saved a month ago. Bookmark bars do not help the situation much, as they take up space in the browser. Visual bookmarks, unlike text ones, are more informative - these are small snapshots of sites. They can be sorted and placed into groups by topic. The very first browser that started using bookmarks was Opera. They were called Speed ​​Dial. Users liked them so much that they began to be implemented in other browsers. To bring up the bookmarks bar in Google Chrom and Opera, simply click on the “+” sign at the end of the tab bar and the Quick Bar will appear. You don't have to install add-ons or make settings. Bookmarks can be deleted, moved, added. IN latest versions Many users of the favorite Google Chrom browser began to “remember” the sites they visited. This is not always convenient and not everyone likes it. Therefore, it is better to install the Speed ​​Dial add-on to manage bookmarks. To do this, type https://chrome.google.com/webstore in the address bar, enter the name of the add-on “Speed ​​Dial” in the search bar, press “Enter”. Then select it in the list that opens, click the blue “Install (Free)” button. Confirm the action – “Add”. Once the installation is complete, click the add new tab button after the most recent one. A window will open with twelve blank bookmarks. Select the first one, enter the address of the desired site and its name, save the result. So edit the required number of visual bookmarks. In the Speed ​​Dial 2 version, you can add a site logo to the bookmark, selecting it from the standard ones, or specifying your own. A beautiful logo can be found. Unlike Google Chrom and Opera, Firefox does not yet have built-in visual bookmarks. Therefore, you need to install the add-on. The most neutral option is also Speed ​​Dial. Download the add-on from addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/speed-dial/. The page will load, on which click “+ Add to Firefox”. The add-on is small in size and will install quickly. Confirm the installation by clicking the "Download Now" button. Restart Firefox. In the initial setup window, check the boxes where necessary. Edit empty bookmarks as described for Google Chrome. In addition to bookmarks from Yandex, you can create convenient visual bookmarks using the Motix service. The service has many advantages: an unlimited number of bookmarks, they can be opened on any computer, just type motix.ru in the address bar, enter your login and password. Bookmarks are sorted by the user into categories to restore complete order on the computer.

After Yandex developed its own search engine he updated most of the services. The so-called improvement also affected the Mazil search engine, which many users did not like very much.

That is why the question of returning to old version saved resources in Firefox.

Restoring visual bookmarks

Before starting the procedure, you need to remove the new addition. To do this, open the Firefox menu and click on the “Add-ons” column, then activate the Extensions item.

First of all, you need to download the file with the previous version and drag it into the open browser window. After completing these manipulations, the browser will open the installation window, where you will need to click on the Run Now button.

After the restart is complete, you need to go to the search engine menu and select the Add-ons column. In this column you should find the Extensions item and go to the Manage add-ons tab. To prevent visual bookmarks from disappearing next to the item of the same name, you must select the More details link.

After this, you need to disable the program update by checking the box next to Disabled. This will prevent the extension from changing automatically.

If previously saved data was lost, then it is worth trying to restore it from a backup copy. To do this, in the search engine settings, you need to select the Import and backup item and look at the possible recovery options.

Features of work

If you managed to return the old visual bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox, then you need to further consolidate the positive result. To do this, after disconnecting automatic update you should do the following:

The newly opened search engine will immediately return the home page in the old form of saved resources for Mazilla.

When answering the question of how to return to its previous appearance, one cannot fail to mention that links from Yandex can also be optimized at your discretion.

In a special window you can set the update frequency, the number of links, or set a new background image. The missing interface becomes fully accessible to the user. Recovery also involves additional activation of the necessary parameters. The user can, for example, display a panel of sites or change their number in the browser window.

To add new resources, select an empty window and left-click. Then find in the displayed area one of those sites that have recently been closed or enter the address of another.

If necessary, the windows can be moved. The following operations with resources are available to the user:

• Editing.
• Update.
• Delete.

Restoring the old look of saved sites in Firefox is quite simple. To do this, you just need to select the previous modification of the panel from Yandex, install it and configure it according to your preferences.
