I want my Favorites Tab back

I WANT MY BOOKMARKS

Hello Thedford Byrum,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

It sounds like Yahoo made some significant updates to the My Yahoo homepage, which may have altered or removed the Bookmarks tab that you used to access. We must tell you in advance that, you are talking about a non-Microsoft product, and it's out of the scope of support in Microsoft Community. We may not be very professional in such products. A better option is to contact the Yahoo support. Here're some suggestions that we get from online sources, and you can have a try:

1. Check the New Yahoo Homepage (My Yahoo) Settings

• Since Yahoo has undergone updates, the Bookmarks tab may have been replaced or integrated into another section of the site.
• Log in to your Yahoo account and go to the My Yahoo homepage (https://my.yahoo.com/). Disclaimer: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate and safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.
• Look for any Tabs or Sections that could have replaced your Bookmarks—they might have been moved under categories like Favorites, News, or other personalized sections.

If you can't find your bookmarks directly, follow the steps below.

2. Check the 'Favorites' Section

Yahoo has been consolidating many features under sections like Favorites or News, so your bookmarks may have been moved there.

• On your My Yahoo homepage, check if there is a Favorites section that has your bookmarks or links.
• If you find the Favorites section, you may be able to add, remove, or organize links just like with the old Bookmarks.

3. Use the Yahoo Bookmarks Link (if it’s still available)

The Yahoo Bookmarks feature still exists in a separate form, even if it’s no longer part of the default My Yahoo layout. To access it:

• Go to Yahoo Bookmarks directly by visiting https://bookmarks.yahoo.com/. Disclaimer: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate and safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.
• If you've used Yahoo Bookmarks before, your saved links may still be there.

If you want to use this as your new central place for bookmarks, you can manually bookmark it in your browser or add it back to your Yahoo homepage as a custom section.

4. Re-add the Bookmarks Tab Manually (if possible)

• If the bookmarks tab was part of a custom layout on My Yahoo, you may be able to manually add it back by customizing the sections on the page.
• On the My Yahoo homepage, look for a Customize or Edit button (typically at the top or near the side of the page).
• From the customization options, look for any option to add a Bookmarks or Favorites module and drag it to your desired location.

5. Use a Browser Extension for Bookmarks

If Yahoo no longer offers a dedicated Bookmarks Tab in the same way, you can use browser-based solutions to organize and access your bookmarks:

• Browser bookmarks: Use your browser’s built-in bookmark manager (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).

6. Check for New Features or Updates in Yahoo Help Center

If the above options don’t work or your old Bookmarks Tab is completely gone, there could be an official update or feature change that Yahoo has announced. Check Yahoo’s help documentation for any new features, changes, or updates that might explain where the Bookmarks section went.

• Visit Yahoo’s official Help Center: Yahoo Help Disclaimer: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate and safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.
• Look for articles related to My Yahoo or Bookmarks to get the latest information on changes or updates.

7. Contact Yahoo Support

If you're still unable to find or restore your bookmarks after the update, it’s a good idea to reach out to Yahoo Support for further help.

• Visit the Yahoo Help page and look for Contact Us options.
• You can ask for clarification on the changes to My Yahoo and the Bookmarks feature and see if there’s a way to restore it.

Summary:

• Check My Yahoo for new sections like Favorites that might contain your bookmarks.
• Access Yahoo Bookmarks directly at https://bookmarks.yahoo.com/.
• Use browser-based bookmark solutions as a replacement.
• Customize the My Yahoo page to re-add the bookmarks feature if possible.
• Visit Yahoo Help for updates or changes to the new layout.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
