Bookmarks do NOT open in a browser window when click "show all bookmarks"

Currently using Firefox 30.0.3 Mac OS 10.9.5. When I tried to edit my collection of bookmarks buy opening the "show all bookmarks" in the pull-down menu., nothing happened. This usually opens a new tab or window with the bookmarks displayed. I then researched HELP and tried all those solutions to no avail. Even where the help topic says a bookmarks window will open, it does not. I have no way of editing or deleting en masse outdated bookmarks. Yes I can do so individually through the bookmark button on the toolbar - what a pain in the _________s.
Is this problem intentional, or a glitch?

Cory MH - Thank you for your suggestions. The bookmarks window DOES open when Firefox is in safe mode. So I went through the troubleshooting process and nothing there helped. Extensions (there are only two) are disabled, I am using the default appearance. All plug-ins are set on "ask to activate". I should mention that this bookmark problem only just began, and never happened before the most recent updates - there were two only a day or so apart.

  • My bookmarks folder appears in the Bookmarks menu, but bookmarks do not appear when clicking "Show All Bookmarks." Bookmark Manager appears, but shows no bookmarks at all.

    When opening the Bookmarks menu, I see my bookmarks folder in the dropdown and can access them from there. However, if I click "Show All Bookmarks" the manager launches, but shows no bookmarks of any kind. No defaults, folders, uncategorized links...nothing.
    As such, I can still use the bookmarks while surfing, but I can't organize, delete, or export them since they don't show up in the bookmark manager.

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

    but somehow it is not working.
    can you suggest something ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Even if i create different regions , it is not possible for me to place them between items.
    But anyways, I created a separate button in the same region and it works fine.
    Thanks Jari for your help.

  • Firefox crashes when I "show all bookmarks"

    When I click "show all bookmarks" and then select uncategorized bookmarks, firefox locks up and eventually crashes with the Library window open.
    This seems to happen every time. I'm using Firefox 5.0. I also tried in safe mode and the same result.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Pdf links will not open in new browser window

    I have created a pdf document in Acrobat 9 Pro that is password protected. You must enter the password to open it. In this document there are perhaps 15 links to other pdf documents. I set up each of the links to open in a new window. The links work as expected in Acrobat, each opening in a new window, however, when I posted the documents to the web, the links open in the same window as the original document. This would not be a big issue if the original document were not password protected, but each time the user clicks on a link, it takes him out of the original document. To get back to the original document requires re-entering the password. This is a major irritation with so many links.
    I know that you can set Acrobat to display the documents in its own window rather than in the browser, but my users don't know that. Control clicking on a pdf link does not open it in a new window as it would with an HTML link. Is there a simple fix to this problem that does not involve user intervention?

    Well, I came up with a solution, thanks to Ted Padova who offers a simple JavaScript solution on his blog at http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/tedpadova/opening-pdfs-new-browser-windows.
    The solution is clearly laid out even for beginners, if you know how to create a link or button.
    It seems to me that a prime objective of Adobe in developing Acrobat would be to have it behave the same way in free-standing mode and as a plug-in. In this case it does not, and obviously, it has not for the last forty-eleven years that Acrobat has been on the market. Maybe some day they will get around to a fix for this obvious problem. In the meantime, read Ted's blog and be happy we have guys like him who can solve these problems.

  • Safari quits everytime I click "show all bookmarks"

    Basically, I'm using OS 10.3.9, and Safari has been updated to the latest. But, since then, it quits everytime I click on the "show all bookmarks" icon.....
    I don't know why this is happening, and I don't know what to do...
    HELP, PLEASE!!

    Hi lost92
    when you say safari 'quits' - do you mean it crashes? - or just that the window you're viewing disappears ?
    If the 2nd one - that's normal behaviour. If you look at the safari icon in your Dock, you'll probably see an up-arrow below it - this shows that the Safari application is still running, even though there may be no windows open.
    If you have just the one safari windows open - there's no need to click the red dot ( close window ) to go to another page. Just click on a link/bookmark to the new page you want - or type the address into the address bar at the top of the safari window. To over-write the existing address, click the icon just to the left of it - & start typing - then press enter when you're done. You can also press Apple-L ( Apple key+L key at the same time) to do the same thing.
    If you find that safari has no windows open - either click the icon in the dock, or from the Safari menu, choose File-New window.
    You should also read safari help regarding Tabbed browsing, since this is a very useful feature.

  • Dialog control flow case not opening in new browser window

    Hello -
    Using JDev 11gR1.
    I have a page fragment that contains a table of command links like so:
            <af:commandLink text="#{row.id}" id="cl2"
                            action="#{reportRunnerBean.runReportAction}"
                            useWindow="true" windowHeight="500" windowWidth="500">
              <f:param value="#{row.id}" name="reportId" id="p2"/>
            </af:commandLink>the runReportAction method returns the String: "dialog:runReport"
    in my page flow, the page fragment has a control flow case with the outcome "dialog:runReport" that leads to a URL View with the URL setting set to #{pageFlowScope.reportUrl}
    (the reportRunAction places a string in page flow scope with the key of "reportUrl". in case it matters, the url is external to the application)
    When I click on the link, I am directed to the correct URL. However, it does not open in a new browser window - it takes up the main browser window.
    Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?
    Thank you for reading this,
    -- Scott

    Well, I couldn't figure out why the dialog wasn't working correctly, so I changed my page to use a server listener to handle the logic I wanted and just used af:goLink instead of a command link. That command link above became:
              <af:goLink text="#{row.id}" id="gl1"
                         destination="#{row.reportUrl}"
                         targetFrame="_blank">
                <af:clientAttribute name="reportId" value="#{row.id}"/>
                <af:clientListener method="logReport" type="click"/>
                <af:serverListener type="LogReportEvent"
                                   method="#{reportListBean.logReportInvocation}"/>
              </af:goLink>with the following client listener:
        <af:resource type="javascript">
          function logReport(evt) {
              var component = evt.getSource();
              var reportIdParam = component.getProperty("reportId");
              AdfCustomEvent.queue(component,
                                   "LogReportEvent",
                                   { reportId: reportIdParam}, false);
        </af:resource>and code in the bean:
        public void logReportInvocation(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
                String reportId =
                    (String)clientEvent.getParameters().get("reportId");
                //...do something w/reportId here...
        }Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this.

    Respectfully, that answer isn't particularly helpful. I have already demonstrated that middle-clicking (mouse wheel click) will open a new instance of FF, and other programs. This was true before the upgrade from FF4 to FF6, and is true on all my VM builds (Windows 7 default install with nothing but FF installed).
    Nevertheless, I've tried shift-left-click, and it does not open a new instance. It will only open a new instance if I pin FF to the taskbar, which I have already stated I do not want to do. This new behaviour is unique to FF. Other applications (Word, Excel, Internet Explorer, whatever) all behave as expected. It is only Firefox that is misbehaving, and it is only misbehaving since the upgrade.
    My issue is that FF has changed its behaviour with respect to middle-clicking since upgrading from 4 to 6. I'd welcome helpful comments about getting FF to behave.

  • Firefox not opening a private browsing window instead getting another normal browsing window

    I went through the forum question and found answers and tried that but it does not seem to resolve the problem.
    Tried the steps given before that doesn't resolve it
    tried uninstall completely and reinstall with new setup , still not getting the private browsing
    current software config:
    Windows 7 32 bit
    with Firefox 31 version
    Thanks for your help .

    Hello Philip,
    You are right about the setting and your solution is working but given the option of setting to never remember history and then defaulting to private browsing mode is not given as a note to user while this option is selected,seems to me as a user experience hiderring issue.
    However , I have found out that we can still will be able to open in private browsing mode for window 7 OS system by using ''right click option on pinned firefox from the taskbar is still able to launch the firefox in the private browsing mode.''
    Please try it, its working even when we have set set firefox to "never remember history" in the options>privacy panel
    Thanks philip for sharing your valuable findings for better firefox browsing experience

  • Opening a new browser window when hyperlinking

    How do you force a browser to open a new window when hyperlinking? Can a command be embedded to do this in the URL? I'm trying to create a hyperlink to my iCal calendar from a site I do not have hosted at .Mac. I would like for the page from which the hyperlink occurs to stay open.

    Unfortunately, this capability appears not to be included in iWeb in the current version. It is possible, however to edit the URLs AFTER PUBLISHING in the HTML files that iWeb produces. I don't know if this is more trouble than it is worth to you, but you would simply need to add a {a href="URL" target="_blank"} command to the HTML.

  • Flash/Flash Player will not open link to web page when clicked

    Hi there, I am testing a FLASH animation ad that has links to a website.   When I click on the links, it opens firefox but it doesn't go to the  link!  I have added the links and the file names in the Adobe Flash  Settings Manager, restarted several times, restarted in Safe Mode and it  still does not work!  I cannot find any information on this. My coworker also tried it and it does not work for him on IE on Windows.  HOWEVER, If I have SAFARI open it works fine, and If I drag and drop the .swf file into either browser and then click on the links it goes to the web page.   If it  helps I am on a MAC using Snow Leopard and I am using Flash CS3.

    Go to this link:
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
    Go to global security settings.
    Click browse for folder, go to your drive root (or the folder where your swf/fla is and select it. You should see that folder get added to the security exception list. Re-test tell me what happens.
    Thanks,

  • How can I make a specific page open in a new window when clicked from a menu?

    Don't know if its possible but I have one specific page I want to open in a new window in the browswer when clicked on from a widget menu.  I know how to go in and put the coding in but it would be nice if there is some option in Muse to do that already.  Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

    ryanj4799 You'll need to change the Menu Type to Manual in the widget's options and add the links yourself. Then go to the Hyperlinks panel. Check the option to open in a new tab/window.

  • Open page in new window when click on HELP TAB

    Hi
    I have a number of tabs which work on my pages. My very last Tab is a Help Tab.
    What I'm trying to achieve is that when a person clicks on the Help tab, the page should open in a new window.
    The rest of the tabs should function normally, ie just switch pages in the same window.
