"bookmark this page" doesn't show all my folders

I want to save a bookmark in one of the folders in my bookmarks. I hit "bookmarks" then "bookmark this page". The dialog box show up with "bookmarks menu" in the folders box. I expand the folders box and it shows only 3 of my folders and a box labeled "choose". I select "choose" and where before I would get a complete list of bookmarks and folders, now none of my bookmarks show up.
This is a new computer and the bookmark list was moved over from my old one.

Do you only see the default three main folders?
You should have an icon to the left of each of them to expand these main folders and see their sub folders.<br />
Note that this icon may be hard to notice.

Why can I not separate the stupid "Bookmark This Page" Star from "Show your Bookmarks"? I never use that Star

Why can I not separate the stupid "Bookmark This Page" Star from "Show your Bookmarks"? I never use that star and now it's all I click on when trying to open my Bookmarks. Very annoying

If you want to remove the ★ star icon,

Podcast page doesn't show all episodes???

Hi, I maintain a video-podcast for a Dutch bookshop. A while ago I updated the RSS-feed with new episodes. However, they won't show up in the list of my podcast: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=130908598
When you subscribe, you'll see all 8 episodes, but on the main page, it only shows 4...
Feedvalidator claims my feed is OK:

Anyone got any ideas?
Thanx, Taco

My bookmarks are all still there, but 'Show all bookmarks' is empty and so is 'Bookmark this page Folder Choose'.

I have installed FF 4.0 on home and office PCs (both Windows XP). Bookmarks are synced between them using FF Sync 1.7. Until a couple of days ago, no problem. But now something weird has happened to the bookmarks on my home PC.
All the bookmarks are there - I can select them normally from the BM toolbar and the BM menu, and they are found by the address bar.
However, I can no longer organise my bookmarks. When I choose 'Show all bookmarks' the All Bookmarks folder appears completely empty. When I add a new bookmark, the Choose folder dialog shows a small, apparently random selection of my bookmark folders, and the Choose drop-down doesn't show any folders at all.
I have tried restoring bookmarks from several days ago and also from the office machine. In both cases restore worked fine, but it still only populates the Bookmark menu and not the Show all/Organise folder.

This looks like a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835014#answer-201724
Backup of bookmarks, deletion of places.sqlite, and restoration of bookmarks solved it for me.

When select "bookmark this page" for certain sites, window shows that it is all ready in a folder, which I cannot find

There seems to be folders in my bookmark library that I cannot locate, even when looking carefully through "show all bookmarks". When I select "bookmark this page" for one of the "missing" sites, it shows that it is all ready bookmarked in a particular folder. But I cannot find those folders!

Try reformatting it in Disk utility and make sure to erase the raw drive's 500GB and that it is HFS and set to GUID Partition Table.
Might want to bookmark the Lion Community, and also the MacBook Pro forum so when you do post, you are in the right areas.

How do I change back to having "bookmark this page" on the top of the list and subordinate "all bookmarks" lower since I use former 100 times more than the later on a daily basis?

I create about 25 -50 new bookmarks daily for my business. So, it would seem user friendly to put that command at the top of the scroll down list. Maybe I am unique and others want to "show all bookmarks" repeatedly. I can't understand why one would need to do that more often than add multiple bookmarks on a daily basis. i look forward to your response,. Respectfully MC

cor-el, as you said, that solution puts the "show all bookmarks" all the way at the bottom. How do you either make "bookmark this page" first without changing the order of the other options or force "show all bookmarks" to be second instead of last, the way the menu was before?

What happened to "bookmark this page" selection in the "show your bookmarks" menu on the right?

Now I have to:
1) click again on the stupid blue star to get the menu to place my new bookmark where I choose to instead of have it go to unsorted bookmarks...
OR
2) bring up or have up the menu bar and click on the "bookmarks" menu choice of "bookmark this page" which brings up what I'd call the choice or sort menu that lets me access my bookmarks menu...
...where I wanted to go to create a bookmark AND I get to select "choose", which is what I used to do when adding ANY bookmark.
I want the "bookmark this page" selection back on the "show your bookmarks" list on the right...where it belongs. Why does everyone want to keep hiding the useful tools?
Firefox 29 stinks and I've had nothing but problems from the beginning...and since making the mistake of resetting.
I now have a folder of stuff that I have no clue what to do with as, upon resetting, I got "Oooops this is embarrassing, we're having a problem" or something. Any clues about what to do with all that "junk" (now, to me) might also be helpful.

I was used to being able to select the folder to place my bookmark without going into an edit session. This is as useless now as windows "libraries"

On my mac it doesn't let me bookmark some sites when i drag the icon over or click on bookmark this page. Is there a fix for this?

When i drag a URL over to my bookmarks or click on bookmark this page (on a Mac BTW) it doesn't let me do it. Not even with the star. Like when i try to bookmark some cell phone forums and gamefaq boards it says "website did not supply identity information" and it doesn't even let me bookmark that page unless i go to a different part of the site. Is there any type of fix for this???

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

How can I bookmark a page that doesn't allow the dropdown menu to choose "bookmark this Page"

I am on the web page Rothlynn.com and am not getting the option"Bookmark this page" from the drop down menu. How can I bookmark?

Click the star at the right end side of the location bar once to bookmark the current site and click the highlighted star a second time to open the "Edit This Bookmark" window and move the bookmark to another folder or edit the name.

The popup of the rightclick "Bookmark this page" is missing, where it gives you the shot list of folders.

When i'm on a page and I want to bookmark it I right-click and choose "Bookmark this page" and then the dialog box shows where you see 5 of your folders to where you can place the page.
This dialog box doesn't show up since upgrading to FF13

Thanks for all your help.
It was an extension causing the conflict, "Compact Menu 2".
It's disabled and the dialog box is back. :)

Bookmark This Page has disappeared only on gmail sign-in. Why? How to restore?

I am using a shared network computer but always use my own computer and always sign out after checking emails."Bookmark this page" option was there yesterday. Today, in its place is "edit bookmarks". If I go to any other website I can bookmark the page but cannot bookmark gmail sign in although i was able to until today. In addition, a previous bookmark for gmail sign in page just disappeared. No other bookmarks disappeared. Is this just a fluke or is someone messing with my computer?

Maybe you already have bookmarked this page.
In the current Firefox release the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is blue highlighted.<br />
So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead.
Firefox 29 and later versions have the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in Firefox 28 and older versions.
*With the Australis interface the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar<br>A consequence of this new menu button is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu

Make "Bookmark This Page" Top Entry In Bookmarks Menu?

"Bookmark This Page" used to be the top entry in the Bookmarks menu but in Firefox 6 it has been moved further down. I've found that when I bookmark a page I don't really look at the menu and automatically click the first item, which is now "Show All Bookmarks". I therefore end up bringing up the bookmarks Library about five times per day, which is very annoying.
"Bookmark This Page" is by far the most commonly used entry in the bookmarks menu so I was wondering if there's any way to move it back to the top?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

@bbgrbr, cor-el posted a solution here:
https://support.mozilla.com/questions/862570
That gets "Bookmark This Page" to the top, but the disadvantage is "Show All Bookmarks" ends up at the very bottom of your bookmarks menu. I personally chose to hide it completely "Show All Bookmarks" since having it at the bottom got in the way.
Mozilla never should have moved "Bookmark This Page" in the first place, and if they did they should have provided an option so it could be repositioned back to the top. It's probably worth giving them feedback about this if you haven't already:
http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback
Hopefully if enough people complain they'll add an option to move "Bookmark This Page" back to the top.

When selecting "bookmark this page" the location select window right side and bottom are cut off, no visible buttons

After I select "bookmark this page" from the bookmarks menu, and then select "show all the bookmarks folders" with the pulldown arrow, the bookmarks folder list appears but the right side and the bottom are cut off so that no buttons are showing. Trying to resize the window does not work. Double clicking on the desired folder selects the folder name for editing, however, the caption at the top says "bookmark saved" and sometimes it is actually where I would like it to be added.

After finding that I did not have a chrome folder, or userchrome.css file, I installed ChromEdit Plus. Through this app I was able to create a chrome folder and the userchrome.css file using the information from finitarry. The problem still existed. I then edited userchrome.css changing the values to "min-width:800px !important; min-height:800px !important; " The results were; same problem, just bigger. This code changes the folderview pane in the add bookmarks window. The problem is the pane expands larger than the window. Let me see if I can clairify, When you select "bookmark this page" the add bookmark "window" opens. to open the folderview pane, click on the down arrow to the right of the folder pulldown menu. The window is not expanding to contain the pane correctly and pushes all the other controls off the screen.

ICal doesn't show all text for the activity

When I updated to iCal version 8.0 i noticed that when I am in week-view, iCal doesn't show all the text for an activity, although there is plenty of room. For example I have a lecture from 9 am - 4 pm and in the activity I put down all the things I have to do, but it only shows the first line for my activity. I need to drag the box or double click on it to see all the text. Can I change this?

Gabriella,
Sometimes making the Calendar window bigger, or using full screen allows additional text to be displayed.
View>"Make Text Smaller" is also an option for those with Eagle Eyes.

ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
Whats the fix?
Thanks
Andy

For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.
