Or highlight and hit the delete key.

On my new computer the Bookmarks list no longer 'highlights' the website that I have clicked on and am viewing online. Therefore, I can no longer see exactly which site (location/name) I am viewing because I have quite a number of bookmarks. It wastes time to go to several bookmarked sites in search of the site I am currently visiting.
Bottom line: I want the Bookmarks list to highlight the site I am currently visiting as it did on my previous computers (all Dell). Is there a setting to make this happen?
Please help! Thank you.
JoancmbIt actually does highlight but in colour which is barely distinguishable so it appears that no highlighting is on.

Firefox start page disappeared from bookmark list and now I can't put it back. Whats going on?
HP win 7 machine. Use firefox to open Charter email: no problem. Recently, my gmail acct (which I use infrequently) has appeared as my default , which I do not prefer, but cannot seem to change. While on the Charter email page, today, I tried to access Forefox start from my bookmark menu. It disappeared from the bookmark list. Got to the start page through a different route, but it would not bookmark at all.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).

Cannot create safari's bookmark list
Hi everyone,
I cannot create a bookmark list in safari. every time it goes back to the default bookmark list after i reopen safari. i've tried to delete "bookmark" folder from user/username/library/safari, but there's only "extensions" folder there, no "bookmark" folder... i've also tried to create a bookmark folder but it didn't work. i'm using MBP, safari 8.0.4 thanks!
GloriaBack up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Getting folder from older bookmarks list into current list
Through syncing between Safari on my MacBook Air and my iPad I lost a folder in my bookmarks list that is important to me. Through Time Machine I've recovered a version of the list that has the missing folder. I don't know how to get the folder into the current bookmarks list. Help appreciated.
Bookmark creation and editing of bookmarks is one area where Safari could in my opinion be significantly improved: The display of the bookmarks list when adding a bookmark is confusing and difficult to negotiate; there is no provision for sorting the bookmarks list; provision for editing the bookmarks list is primitive and cumbersome.
The value of having a backup bookmarks list is limited if the only thing you can do is replace the current list with the backup. It should be possible to move bookmarks and folders between the backup and the current list.Thanks. I used Xmarks once, way back.
I find syncing of bookmarks through syncing of Safari through iCloud VERY confusing. With syncing activated, it is impossible to edit the bookmarks list on any device. As soon as you make a change, syncing converts it back to what's on the other devices. Even shutting the other devices down doesn't prevent that from happening.
I was able to edit the list on my MBA just now only by shutting wifi off, creating a copy of the edited list once I was done so if syncing overwrote the edited list I wouldn't have to do it all over again. When I turned wifi back on the changes persisted and have apparently been updated to my other devices.
Also confused about possible interaction between syncing through Xmarks and iCloud.
I can recover an older copy of my bookmarks list using Time Machine. But if I simply overwrite the current copy with the older one I lose any changes made since the last Time Machine backup.
So--I think--my question--how to get a folder from an older list into a newer one--is still unanswered. -
It was still functioning last night and before I close the firefox window, the problem started. The problem persist until now.
1. Bookmark - tried to check the "help" list for lost bookmark but none of them seems to suit the problem i'm facing. The menu tab is there, but when i click on "Bookmarks", my previous bookmark list is not there. When I try to bookmark a new page, there is no window popping up (usually there is a small window pop-up to ask for the label of the website to be bookmarked).
2. The website address tab - usually we have a list of website that we usually visit so we just need to click on the arrow and click on the webpage that we want to visit. But now, I have to type the website address every single time. There is no drop down when i click on the arrow.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with it and please help me to solve this problem. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

It seems to me that in a previous version of Firefox that one could add a bookmark to the Bookmarks Toolbar and have it stay there.
I like to keep things neat and tidy. Now when I delete this bookmark from the Recently Bookmarked list (or the Unsorted Bookmarks list), Firefox insists only deleting it from the Bookmarks Toolbar as well.
How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmarks toolbar and keep it there? Am I required to keep it in the Recently Bookmarked and/or Unsorted Bookmarks list in order to have it remain on the Bookmarks Toolbar?* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list. -
How do I get all my pins (bookmarks) to show up on maps rather than having to choose from the bookmark list? I can see my list getting very large and more cumbersome to search. In google maps, all my starred locations show up on my map.

I re-installed XP and kept the old program files on another drive, how can I transfer my bookmarks list to the new Firefox ?
I tried shifting the Profile folder contents from the old to the new, that seemed to work but I kept getting a message that my security was affected and that the problem could be in that folder so I shifted it back.Hello Kencrews,
When you connect the iPod to the computer and iTunes is authorized for your Apple ID, then you will get a prompt to transfer the purchases from the device to the computer. Keep in mind this will only transfer purchased items from the iTunes Store.
Here is a helpful article to assist getting that done.

I updated Firefox today and all my previous bookmark list disappeared. I tried to use the "import and backup" tab and followed the directions of the Firefox page to backup and restore my previous bookmarks. Unfortunately, nothing happened. Could you please help me with possible advice/guidance on how to resolve this? This is the second time this happens, always when Firefox receives updates..
You appear to be using the Developer Edition / Aurora pre-release version, which creates a new Profile upon installation or update on the Aurora channel. Open '''Options > General''' and tick or untick the box at the top which says '''Allow Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox to run at the same time'''. Once you restart ''[as told to]'' you will "toggle" over to the other Profile, where your bookmarks are - ''hopefully''.
If you don't like "updates", why are you using an '''alpha-2''' version that receives an update every day? -
I get a black screen instead of my bookmark list when I click on bookmarks icon
BookThis happened suddenly. I can still access my bookmarks by going to the Bookmarks(top of screen)/Bookmarks Bar/then pull-down Alice's Bookmarks from that to access my bookmarks. However, I have to keep the cursor pushed down, cannot rearrange them from there or view the actual URLs. What did I do to cause this?! More importantly, how do I UNDO it and get back my access to the nice bookmarks list by simply clicking on the bookmark icon up top?" It is VERY frustrating!
this is happening to me as well but I want to see what that bookmark is as aposed to having to double click the bookmark itself I have saved many bookmarks and I am regualrly looking for things on the bookmarks so I do not want to have to click evey single bookmark to find things again

My old Vista computer died, but I had backup of my old Firefox .json bookmark files and installed this folder on my new window's 7 computer's desktop. But I can't seem to open these files (windows cant find a program to open them with, and I don't seem to have .json files in my file association list) or import them into the new computer's Firefox bookmarks list.
That's great, matthungo, I'm glad it worked and you've got your Bookmarks back. Wishing you and yours a wonderful and blessed Holiday season as well!

I don't know what I can add. The bookmarks list is on the left side of the screen and crowds everything else to the right so that I can't read it. I've tried everything I can think of to move it or get rid of it.
Please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

Why are some of the icons in my Bookmarks list missing after 8.0 update
I installed the 8.0 update a few days ago, and when I opened my Bookmarks lists some of the icons associated with the various websites are missing. Is there a way to correct this problem?
I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page. I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:
These smaller pages will load faster and in more browsers.
