Alphabetize Bookmarks folders in the Bookmarks column

Could anybody tell me how to alphabetize Safari's bookmarks folders in the Bookmarks column other than doing it by hand one at a time???
Appreciate your help
Al

I have created a free App utilizing the very popular “Sortosaurus” command line script created by James Howard. It creates a backup prior to sorting. No need to fire up the scary Terminal app. I have wrapped it all up in a friendly step by step GUI format. Fast, simple and safe.

I'm running firefox on a Macbook Air 10.6.8, and the bookmark folders in the bookmarks drop down menu don't open when I mouse over them or click on them. How do I fix this?

I've run diagnostics on the mac air, reloaded firefox, and tried eerything I could think of. The 'show all bookmarks' page works perfectly- it's just the dropdown menu that has problems. All the folders have numerous items in them except for one- which only has two. That one works- the pop out menu for that folder comes out on the left side. All the arrows for the folders are on the right side (pointing right) of the of the drop down bookmark menu, pointing at the right edge of the computer screen. The dropdown menu appears on the right half of the screen, close to the edge. Strangely, my main computer is an iMac desktop, and my mozilla bookmarks dropdown menu folders open on top of the dropdown menu, not out on the side.

I figgered it out. The resolution of the screen was set at 600x800, so the bookmarks dropdown menu took up more space than usual. The pop out folder contents didn't have enough room to pop out. With a resolution for a slightly smaller display the drop down bookmarks menu functions perfectly.

I notice that in the new update to Firefox if I have two bookmark folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of them.

Both of these problems with the bookmarks started occurring after I installed the latest update to Firefox.
I frequently have bookmark folders of the same name under the older version of Firefox and it has never been a problem before. It is now, and I notice that after I've created two folders with the same name Firefox will end up deleting one of the folders, almost always the older of the two folders (the one created first, chronologically).
I have also noticed that with the new update Firefox will occasionally fail to open all bookmarks in Tabs if I've asked it to do so. I can simply close Firefox and reopen the program and it will work again, but I don't know why this bug is occuring in the first place.

You are using two IP address ranges.. which results in the printer being cut off from the other network..
Why do you have two networks?? It is always better in home situations to run one network.
If you have work setup with an enterprise level router you can setup routes between the two networks.. this is not possible on domestic level apple routers.

Opening folders in the bookmarks bar

Is it possible to make folders in the bookmarks bar to open "like other menus" i.e. when you move your mouse to the next folder the old one closes and the new one opens. Now I have to click the new menufolder twice. The first click closes the old one and the second opens the new one.

I am running 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.5 on a MBP silver keys) and I am not able to get Safari to save bookmarks to the bar. I have tried a few times now but whenever I quit and reopen Safari the bookmark bar resets to the default. GRRRR

Why don't all of my file folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar sync their contents? Some do, and some don't.

Problem seems to have started after updating to FF5. (At least, I do not remember having the problem with versions of FF4.) The contents of ALL file folders in the Bookmarks Menu are present and accounted for, but only some of the contents import for the file folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar. btw, I have Smart Bookmarks Toolbar installed. Could there be a compatibility issue with FF5?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Lost booknamrks sub folders including the bookmarks after restoring from a backup file, how can i retore my bookmarks?

I was organizing my bookmarks, by mistake I deleted a folder, after that I restored from a back up file (from the library window), instead of getting my bookmarks restored, I've lost all the sub folders including the bookmarks within!!! Now i only have the bookmarks in the unsorted bookmarks folder. What went wrong here and how can i get my bookmarks back?

For the next time that this happens:
If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox. 
If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup. 
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created. 
 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
In that case you need to export the current bookmarks to an HTML file before doing the restore and import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup. 
You can remove duplicates with the CheckPlaces extension or you can copy the existing bookmarks to the clipboard before restoring the JSON backup and Paste them back afterward.

In 4.0.1, is it possible to move the Bookmarks Button on the Bookmarks Toolbar to a different position on the Bookmarks Toolbar from it default position on the far right?

The default Bookmarks Button is on the far, upper right side of the browser window on the Bookmarks Toolbar. It's distracting there, on the edge, in Siberia. I use it a thousand times per day. It's unnatural and distracting to always be turning to the edge, away from "the action". Is there any way to slide its location on the toolbar? Or at least put it on the far left where there's more "action"? I doubt I'm the only one with this instinct, otherwise the Firefox button and items on the usual menu bar (like File, Edit) would not always be placed on the upper left, not upper right. I'm not asking about the other, optional Bookmarks Button that can be put on the Navigation Toolbar which functions differently and more cumbersomely.

To move the bookmarks button on the Bookmarks Toolbar, you have to go into Customize first. Just drag the button palette to one side so you have full access to the bar. The only things on it should be "Bookmarks Toolbar Items" and the icon for the bookmarks drop-down list. Hopefully then you can swap their positions.
(And it is weird that the buttons look the same when one shows a menu and other opens the Bookmarks Sidebar.)

No Bookmarks Appearing in the Bookmarks Panel When Exporting from InDesign

Hello,
I just recently upgraded to ID Creative Cloud, but have been using InDesign since CS2. I don't know if this a bug or if I don't have something set correctly, but when I export a document to PDF from InDesign and open up the Bookmarks panel in Acrobat XI, there are no bookmarks. Here are the settings I'm using (see below). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Were the bookmarks created in the Bookmarks panel or in the Table of Contents?
Have you tried restoring your InDesign preferences? Here's how:

I would like to be able to remove the 'bookmarks toolbar' from the bookmarks menu.

Recently Firefox had a .. problem. I'm not sure what it was, or why. I just opened it one day and it had to 'reset'. So, it did, and i lost a bunch of things like addons and themes and stuff like that. Its not a big deal, because all the data was still there. Still, i have to fix some things again.
I'm still using Firefox 15 - mostly because of some addons that aren't available in later ones, namely an addon that lets me make the window title Aero themed, i like that much more than the solid colours and i can't find one that works with later versions (anyone know of a way around that i would love to hear that too.
Anyway, my question is simple I used to have the ability (i guess, an addon i've since forgotten about) to go to remove the 'bookmarks toolbar' from the Bookmarks menu. Also, i had a 'save all tabs' or something similar to that. Does anyone know an addon, or tweak, or anything that could get me that again?

Sounds that you had a chrome folder with a userChrome.css file in it to do such a customization.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
If you have the Old Firefox Data folder on the desktop then check that folder for the chrome folder and copy that folder to the current Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Safari won't sync the bookmark - After Sync the bookmarks stays empty

Safari won't sync the bookmark - After Sync the bookmarks stays empty
I have tried replacing what is on the ME server over my current iMac , but no luck there.
Is there a way of reseting the bookmark?

Did I sound completely looney? Not a single suggestion.
For anyone interested or NOT
I fixed the problem by updating firmware on my Airport Extreme. Its true, that was the problem. huh,

In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

How do I remove the "folders" attatched to the bookmark names in the bookmarks toolbar?

Hello -
Though I understand that Firefox is not Safari, a browser I have been using since its' introduction and now switching to Firefox with the ongoing issues I have with Safari, there is one thing that is bothersome for me with Firefox and the bookmarks bar.
On this bar, I am unable to find a way to remove the folders that are attached to the left of each bookmark on this bar - there is no option to delete (or have) this as an option. I have imported all of my bookmarks and bookmark folders from Safari and they all fit on the bar if these additional folders are not present. This goes along as well with the bookmarks bar addition to the Firefox browser that is at the right end of the bar, which I would prefer not be there as well - this information can be found in the "bookmarks" drop down at the top of the screen on the Mac.
Is there a way (I hope) to remove these folders that sit to the left of the bookmarks, in addition to removing the bookmarks information tab that is located to the end right of the bar (w/o me going into the code for the program and attempting to figure it out on my own)?

Hi mactec,
Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension and then the style listed below
# [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish :: Add-ons for Firefox]
# [http://userstyles.org/styles/9091 '''Bookmarks Toolbar Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for browser - userstyles.org]
: Bookmark folders shown without icons in BLUE, and any bookmark not in a folder would be considered special and would be shown without icons in RED.
For a list of some of the styles that I use see

How do I alphabetize my bookmarks. "Sort by Name" option only sorts general bookmark folders, not actual bookmarks.

I want to have my bookmarks displayed alphabetically but the "Sort by Name" option under "Organize" only applies to folders in the "Library". How do I just sort my list of bookmarks as I can easily do with IE?

The bookmarks library window doesn't show my bookmarks folders in the left pane anymore

When I click "bookmarks", then "show all bookmarks" it brings me to the library window. My bookmarks folders don't show up in the left pane anymore. Before, you could click onto a folder in the left pane and it would show all of the bookmarks that are in that folder in the right pane. What happened?

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

The Folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar take up too much room.

The Blue Folders and the new stuff at the right hand end in the Bookmarks Toolbar take up too much room
I can't fit all my lists like I could with 3.6.8
I like all the other features. I just want a fast stable browser with no frills.
The Acid 3 test is still not correct, it is in Safari.
The Toolbar looks very like Safari!
