Bookmark this page opens a different dropdown that does not save - why?

I've just reinstalled Win-XP Pro after a serious crash and had to reinstall Firefox as well. I have just installed the latest version upgrade and now absolutely nothing happens when I select "Bookmark this page" from the Bookmarks dropdown menu.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

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

This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly...

Hello Guys
I bought this menu made by f-source into my page:
http://beta.asphalt-driveway-sealing.com/, it's working fine except I got this message each time I am opening my file with dreamweaver CS4: 'this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again' and what I did but still got this message
the developer told me that: "I previous versions of Dreamweaver you could disable the Active
Content Converter http://f-source.com/before_insert/
In CS4 there is no such option."
Please let me know what can I do then.
Many Thanks, T&T

Hi
CS4 uses a 'nested' type of object code to insert swf/flv files, which is more compliant than previous code. Obviously the f-source extension is not cs4 compliant if it is changing this, (the message indicates it is doing so) and is something you should pursue via there support department. However even though it is giving you this message it should still work on live pages.

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. 
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 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. 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

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.

Neither "Bookmark this page" nor "Edit Bookmarks" appears in the Bookmarks dropdown menu. How do I restore it/them?

"Bookmark this page" disappeared from the Bookmarks dropdown menu after I added a bookmark. The help pages I have consulted say that "Bookmark this page" is sometimes replaced by "Edit bookmarks" but I have never seen this choice.

What do you see in the Bookmarks menu?
Does it make a difference of what is shown (it should) if you open the Bookmarks menu with the mouse or use the Alt+B shortcut?
You can try to reinstall Firefox in case something has gone wrong with an update.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

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,
# Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
# In the Add-ons Manager, click User Styles on the left.
# Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.
#* You may need to adjust the margin values to get the Ctrl+D bookmark popup aligned properly on your system.

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.

On the menu bar I click on bookmarks and "bookmark this page" is the second thing from the top. How do I make it the first thing on top? That's how it was before I updated to 6.0

I have Windows Vista. This problem started with 6.0 update. "Bookmark this page" was on top, now it is second from the top. Annoying because I am so used to clicking "bookmark this page" as the top option.

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!

When will the "Bookmark this page" selection be returning to the bookmark drop down? No, seriously! We want it back!

The removal of the "Bookmark this page" selection was a huge mistake. None of the answers really solve the issue. Click the star and then click it again so you can edit the bookmark then move it to the folder you want, or install this add-on to manage your bookmarks. The real fix for this issue is simply to put the selection back. People want simple and when they have something that works well they don't want it to change just because the programmer wanted to do it differently. So when will this functionality be returning?

* If you click the ★ Star Icon once, the bookmark ends up in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
* If you double-click the ★ Star Icon, you get to pick where to place the bookmark.
* If you right-click (or Ctrl+click on a Mac) an empty area of the web page and choose Bookmark This Page, the bookmark ends up in the Bookmarks Menu folder and you get to pick where to place it.
* If you press Ctrl+D (Mac: Command+D), the bookmark ends up in the Bookmarks Menu folder and you get to pick where to place it.
* You can click and drag the site icon (usually a globe or a padlock) on the left side of the address bar onto either the Bookmarks Toolbar, the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B; Mac: Command+B), or the Library (Ctrl+Shift+B; Mac: Command+Shift+B; Linux: Ctrl+Shift+O).
The following add-on makes bookmarking easier in various ways. Among other things, it's able to remember the last used folder.

I see no reason to believe menu items that were deemed clutter will be reintroduced — especially when there are multiple ways to perform the action in question.

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Just for the record, I was having this problem with older versons of Firefox also. It just happened recently and, with the help of this forum (thanks cor-el) suggesting to open Firefox in safe mode and checking add ons, I found the problem. It was the recent update of Mcafee Site Advisor. If you have Mcafee Site Advisor as an add on, disable it and see if that helps. It worked for me.
To disable this add on,
Go to:
Tools/Add ons/Extensions and click: "disable" for this add on and restart Firefox. Hope it works for you too.
P.S. To uninstall Site Advisor altogether, you must do that through Windows Add/Remove Programs.

When I select a bookmark, the page opens on the left instead of in the main window?

Most bookmarked pages replace the page being displayed. But one of them keeps popping up on the left in a window which can only be expanded to about a third of the width. I need it to open in the main window rather than in the left hand column. Perhaps I should delete the bookmark for this page and try setting it up again so it will behave "normally"?
Thanks for your help!
Bill

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

"Bookmark this Page" no longer asks where to file the bookmark

Since upgrading to 3.6.12 (OS-X) when I click on "Bookmark this page" it never asks where to place the bookmark. Instead the bookmark ends up at the bottom of "Bookmarks Menu" and I must move it with "Organize Bookmarks".
I must have changed something, but I'm darned if I can figure out what to do to fix it. Help please.

Yes. It was Mcafee Site Advisor 3.3 for me too. But, for the record, this was happening in earlier versions of Firefox also. But it was the recent update of Site Advisor that was preventing the Bookmark menu from opening. I disabled it and all is well.

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.

Bookmark this page opens a different dropdown that does not save - why?
