Bookmark behavior changed in 11.0?

My bookmarks used to open in a new tab automatically (just click on it). After the latest update to 11.0, when I click on a bookmark, it replaces the page I am viewing. How can I get the old behavior back? I cannot find any setting in either "options" or "tab mix plus" addon to fix this. I do not want to have to resort to the right-click context menu option. Thanks!

Firefox default behavior is to open a Bookmark or Link in the currently selected tab. On a Bookmark or Link, CTRL+left-click '''''or''''' ''right-click > "Open in New Tab"''' '''''or''''' middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) should open the Bookmark or Link in a new tab.
In the options panel for Tab Mix Plus, look at ''Events > Tab Opening'' options.

Why is Bookmark Favicon Changer missing from the add-ons list?

The Bookmark Favicon Changer add-on is currently installed on my browser [ESR 31.2.0] and it seems to work, although imperfectly. Yet the add-on pages (https://addons.mozilla.org/) do not list it at all, as far as I can see. What's going on?

The developer was flaunting the rules that AMO operates under. AMO cut him some slack, and provided a month warning about uploading an updated version. '''Then''' that extension was downgraded, and after warning the developer again and not getting a response from the developer Mozilla disabled the listing for that extension. All he had to do was to upload a new "fixed" version to have that extension enabled again.
Fair or unfair, the rules are the rules. Violate the rules and you're liable to be tossed out. ''I use 6 different extensions that aren't hosted at AMO; two were pulled from AMO years ago due to "new rules" similar to what this developer didn't like and the other 4 were never hosted at AMO for one reason of another.'' And at least Mozilla doesn't do like some of the App stores and restrict add-ons to being installed '''only''' from the Mozilla Add-ons website or Market Place as will soon be known. Add-on developers still have the choice to host add-ons on their own website, and users still have the choice to install add-ons from any website that they want to.
As far as "notification" goes - why would Mozilla want to do that? Mozilla didn't like a "call" the developer was using, so why should Mozilla contact users? And how would Mozilla even go about contacting users? There's no "registry" of users for each extension that is kept by Mozilla, and IMO keeping track users like that would violate each users privacy. Who wants to be tracked in that manner?

How can I generate PDF bookmarks for change bars?

I want to generate PDF bookmarks for text that is marked by change bars when I save as PDF from structured Framemaker 7.1. That way the proofreader can go directly to the pages that contain change bars and proof only that text.

Adding to Arnis' reply:
It is also possible to generate PDF bookmarks for change bars through FrameMaker-to-Acrobat TimeSavers + Presentation Assistant, as follows:
Change bar has to use a unique color, with a known RGB value
A PDF layer is created automatically based on the specified RGB value, containing all change bars (layer can be set as initially hidden and/or as a non-printing one)
A generic bookmark can be created automatically for each change bar. Since this is not related to the specific text being indicated, the bookmark text has a user-controlled label, optionally autonumbered (eg "Change Bar #1", "Change Bar #2", etc).
After setting the different parameters above, the process is entirely automatic (results are present as soon as the file is Save as PDF or distilled into a PDF).
If this approach is of interest, I can set up sample FM + PDF files.
A different approach -- based on custom markers inserted, with unique text and note attributes -- resulting in Quick-Access Bookmarks, is discussed/demonstrated at http://www.microtype.com/ImprovePDF06.html .

Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?

Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.

Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

New window behavior change FF 29.0.1

New window behavior changed with FF 29.0.1. I have a custom page that I built that has a bunch of links to sites/pages that I visit frequently. Every one of the links on that page begins with <a target="_blank" href=" >
I typically keep this page maximized and until FF 29.0.1, when I clicked one of those links, it opened in a new maximized window. If I had the page restored instead of maximized, when I clicked one of those links it opened in a new restored window. In other words, the new window was opened in the same window state as the page from which I clicked the link. Now, when I click a link on a maximized window, it opens in restored view and I have to manually maximize it. It's a pain in the patoot.
I'd like to know how to change FF to return to the previous behavior and also why someone felt it was necessary to change this behavior.

Shadow Behavior Changed after Pro Update

I have a finished 3D animation that was done just before the update.
It consists of a person standing on top of (perpendicular to) a flat plane. A stationary spotlight is casting a shadow of the person onto the plane as the camera is animated rotating 90 degrees around the front of the comp. I have about 12 of these comps with different people for the duration of the animation
Prior to the update the shadow's behavior was unchanging throughout the animation for every comp. Now, after the update the shadow seems to blur/fade in for the 1st 45 degrees of the animation for some. For others it stays blurry/faded for the whole animation.
What gives?! Is anybody else having issues with casted shadows in 3D comps?

Thanks everyone for your input.
I have finally been able to fix the problem, but I have no explanation of why it happened to begin with. After trying all of your suggestions for replacing cameras and lights I wound up checking my original comps lights settings.
I had set the shadow softness to '20". For some reason Motion was interpreting this differently between updates. Going back to the original comp and setting the shadow softness to "0" brought everything back in line to it original behavior (i.e. no behavior change on animation).
While I'm glad to have solved the problem I believe that this is a bug in the software that needs to be addressed.
Thanks again guys!

I am running 10.8.2 and my Safari bookmarks keep changing to some very old bookmarks i had over a year ago somehow. I replace the bookamrks plist from my time machine backup but they automatically revert back. I dont have a time capsule or anything so these bookmarks are obviously being downloaded over the cloud from somewhere. Please help!

BI 7 real-time cube load behavior changed after transport

Dears,
After I transported real-time cube from DEV to QA system, I found that all the real-time cube load behavior changed from 'can be loaded, planning not allowed' to 'can be planned, load not allowed'. What happened? Or I'm enpackaging this type cube with wrong step? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Best regards,

While using my iPhone the system behavior changed where I now have to click on the app to select it, then double click to launch it. Same goes for entering in my password to access the phone and entering digits to make a phone. I am also having trouble

While using my iPhone the system behavior changed where I now have to click on the app to select it, then double click to launch it. Same goes for entering in my password to access the phone and entering digits to make a phone. I am also having trouble swiping the screen to move to the next page. This is no longer working. I did not change any settings, the phone just started behaving this way. Any ideas on how to revert back to the single click selection/launch? Any assistant is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Home screen bookmarks icon change on firefox upgrade

Whenever FF upgrades bookmark icons on my home screen revert to the FF default. Can this behavior be prevented? If not, is there a simple way, short of replacing the bookmark, to return the desktop bookmark to the one specified by the web pag?

http://www.tvpassport.com/tvgrid.shtml is one url that exhibits the problem. On the latest update I notice that both the icon and caption changed - caption became "Firefox". This particular bookmark is on the app dock.
Happens on Samsung Galaxy Tab II 10.1", GPT5113. Android 4.2.2. Also on HTC One S, ville. Android 4.1.1.
Other url displaying problem http://m.swisschalet.com/mobile/, http://thaioneon.com/mobile/. These are in a folder on the desktop.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.
* [[How do I use bookmarks?]]

I have lost my bookmarks while changing DC-server. What can be done to retrieve?

I have 2 issues.
#1 I have a small home network with a domain controller which crashed. Now when launching FF, my bookmarks have disappeared.
#2 I copied over the profiles folder and FF locked up. "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I've rebooted, changed properties to not be read-only, un-installed/re-installed all to no avail.
Is there any hope of recovering my bookmarks and getting FF back up and running?
Thanks in advance !
Ken

You can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
*bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.json
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them
Best is to only copy the files (personal data) that you need.
That could include all SQLite files and key3.db and logins.json for passwords and cert8.db (intermediate certificates) and other .json files and .js files like sessionstore.js for the tabs and windows.

DB- get() behavior change as of 4.5.20

I wanted to post information we have recently learned about new behavior in DB->get(), which is undocumented from what I can tell. This change caused a threading bug in our code when we upgraded from 4.2.52. It also affects DBCursor->get(DB_SET) to a lesser extent.
Traditionally, DB->get() on a btree produces data, but does not produce a key, since the key passed in is used for exact match. A change was made in 4.5.20 which causes DB->get() to produce a key if a custom comparator function has been specified (set_bt_compare). The comments in the code (in the cursor get function, __db_c_get) indicate this change was made under the assumption that the compare function may be "magic" and the key passed in may not be the same as the key in the database (except in the eyes of the compare function), so the actual database key is now returned.
Unfortunately, under the assumption that DB->get() treats the key as read-only, we were using a key DBT whose "flags" were zero. The BDB code tries hard to ensure that when a DB is threaded (opened with DB_THREAD) all DBTs which will be written (key or data) have some memory management flag set (DB_DBT_USERMEM, DB_DBT_REALLOC, etc.). Otherwise, BDB will use an internal buffer associated with the (shared) DB handle, causing threading problems. However, in the case of this new behavior, the flag checking was not augmented to account for this case. Instead, the flag checking code still believes a key will only be written if the get() is called with DB_SET_RECNO, DB_CONSUME or DB_CONSUME_WAIT, which are the only cases documented to modify the key DBT.
To summarize, we have an undocumented change in behavior, combined with a lack of correspondingly expanded flag safety checks, setting up for threading problems of various sorts.
The simple workaround is to always set the DBT up as DB_DBT_USERMEM, though in this case the key DBT will still be written, perhaps unexpectedly. If the key's buffer was in read-only memory, this would cause an access violation instead of a threading problem.
Though this change was obviously intentional, I have some trouble understanding how one gets a key into BDB which is different than the key what will be used for retrieval (the use case this change seems to be addressing). But I imagine there was a specific instance of such a situation from some user. Perhaps an additional flag or setting on the DB to control this behavior, letting the user pro-actively indicate the found key should be returned, would reduce unnecessary key copying, as well as avoiding potential bugs. I have to imagine most custom compare functions are for custom sort order, not for performing a magic transformation between the key in the search and the key in the database, and the key used in get is actually identical to the key found in the database.

Bumping this. Perhaps I wasn't clear. The documentation cited by Sandra does explain that sometimes people use comparison functions that will match on a partial key. But it also specifically says:
"When partial keys are specified to Berkeley DB, interfaces which retrieve data items based on a user-specified key (for example, DB->get and DBcursor->get with the DB_SET flag), will not modify the user-specified key by returning the actual key stored in the database."
The part about "will not modify the user-specified key" is the issue. As of 4.5.20, BDB will modify the user-specified key, even if the user-specified key is identical to the stored key. Since it is actually counter to the cited documentation, you can understand that it would be unexpected. The side-effects and results are described in my original posting.
Since Sandra has found documentation that contradicts the current behavior, I would now consider this new behavior a bug. Such a change really needs to be introduced in a backward compatible way, such as through the use of new flags on the DB handle.

I am having trouble with my bookmark bar changing order between my devices. I have them organized for convenience, but when I arrange them on one device they change on the others to a different order. how can I fix this?

I have 2 desktops and a laptops connected by Firefox sync which I set up at some time during the beta. I have several folders, dividers, and bookmarks on the toolbar which I try to keep organized based on their use (web design, hardware/tech support sites, personal, etc) but when I arrange them on one computer it screws them up on the others. I would like for it either to keep them in the same order on all machines, or at least have to arrange them on each machine separately without them affecting the other so they stay where I put them. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

This is what I'd suggest get your machines matched. Sync your machines so all data is on both. Then pick one to get all of your organizing as you want it. (or do this before you even setup sync) Then, when you do your initial sync from that organized machine, select: replace all other devices with this computers data. (you can also do that as Manage Account > reset sync.
After that, changes in order on one machine should be reflected on the other. Remember though Sync '''merges ''' the data from your machines. If you work on two machines side by side and make order changes on both without syncing either, once you do sync, Sync will have to again figure out how to merge the incongruities, which may not be what you expect.. Be careful, if order is important to you.

Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.
