Can't edit Bookmarks toolbar

Hello,
A few updates ago, for Firefox, made it so that I cannot edit my bookmarks toolbar. I can't delete anything on them, but I can add them and move them if I open up the sidebar. I can't move them around any other way. Instead of a drop box asking for what I want to do, like normal, whenever I right click a bookmark a little white square pops up over the bookmark instead and won't let me do anything.
I just installed the latest Mozilla update and it did not fix the issue. I tried the following:
1) Remove all extensions, add ons, themes and other things. Restart Firefox.
2) Clear cache of computer
3) Updated
The only thing I haven't done is reinstall, because I don't want to lose my bookmarks, especially those in the quick access toolbar (the one I can't edit).
I uploaded an image of what it does. I circled the box in red.
Thank you for reading and for any and all help.

How can I remove previous versions of a plugin? It seems to remove them all.

Type '''about:plugins'''<enter> in the address bar. Now search for the plug-in.
Example;
'''Adobe Acrobat'''
'''File:''' nppdf32.dll,nppdf32.dll
'''Path:''' C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll,C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AIR\nppdf32.dll
'''Version:''' 11.0.9.29
'''State:''' Enabled
Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.9
This will show you the path to that program. Copy the '''Path Only.''' Also
note the name of the file, and remember it. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Open your file browser and paste the path in the address bar.
Find the file, and delete it. Now you can restart Firefox.
'''Warning !''' Remember to delete the right program.

  • I can't get bookmarks toolbar to display

    I can't get bookmarks toolbar to display. I've checked it to display, unchecked, rechecked restarted FF with and without BM toolbar set to display...
    I've tried to follow instructions I found on the web but no Joy.
    What's up!

    Maybe your localstore.rdf are corrupted, try rename or delete it, first go to your profile, close Firefox, delete or rename the localstore.rdf file then restart Firefox, maybe you need unhide the hidden files and folders!

    Also try go to '''View''' >> '''Toolbars''' >> '''Customize''' in this window look to your bookmark toolbar, if you find it just drag and drop it and put where you want.

  • Under Bookmarks in the Menu Bar, I can access my Bookmarks Toolbar, but I can't get it to appear on screen as a toolbar.

    I think I've put the necessary details in my question. When I click on Bookmarks, I can access the ones under Bookmarks Toolbar, but I want to see them below the Menu and Navigation bars.

    This would show Bookmarks Toolbar checked, but the items were not appearing on the screen below the menu and navigation bars.

  • How can I synchronize "bookmarks toolbar" and "bookmarks menu" ? They have different bookmarks now.

    I just noticed that the firefox sidebar has an entry for "bookmarks toolbar" as well as "bookmarks menu".
    somehow, there are differences between the bookmarks in the various subfolders though they are probably 90% identical. There are far too many to go through by sight (I have over a 1000 bookmarks).
    1. Is there an easy way to synchronize the two locations ?
    2. Or, if not a direct way, are there two separate folders for these two bookmarks locations in Windows so that I can synchronize the two folders with a folder synchronization application ?
    I want to get all of my bookmars under "bookmarks menu" then empty out the bookmarks toolbar entirely. The resulting bookmarks will be uploaded to override the xmarks folder on their server.
    I hope you can help.

    @brjoon1021
    :I did not mistake the Bookmarks menu on the toolbar. If you check the bookmarks menu on the toolbar (the equivalent button) and it is behind, look in the bookmarks sidebar and you will see the updated bookmarks. I doubt that destroying places.sqlite will fix the problem --but it will lose your history which would be far worse.
    Look in the Bookmarks sidebar ("Ctrl+B"), you should see three main folders
    # Bookmarks Toolbar
    # Bookmarks Menu
    # Unsorted Bookmarks
    If you import bookmarks, all of the bookmarks you import will be added to the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu, which you may very well see as duplicates, if what you imported them from something similar to what you already had. That is what "newsplexer" appears to be seeing.
    Previously in Firefox 2 Bookmarks Toolbar was "Personal Bookmarks" and was a folder in the "Bookmarks" folder, importing then placed imported material at the bottom of the Bookmarks folder, what happens now is imported material is added to the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu. If you have a "Bookmarks" folder and a "Bookmarks Toolbar" as a subfolder at the '''bottom''' of the Bookmarks Menu it is not the same, as the actual "Bookmarks Toolbar". The actual Bookmarks Toolbar is also shown as a flyout menu at the top of the Bookmarks menu (I don't know if it suffers from the same lag as the Bookmarks menu, fixed by restarting Firefox).
    I find the Bookmarks menu to be almost useless and very slow, and inaccurate after making extensive changes, and instead use the Bookmarks sidebar to examine bookmarks and bookmark structure, and the Bookmarks Library List to examine detail. And even adding scrollbars to the Bookmarks menu does not make it very useable to me.
    Firefox 6 attempted to put the Unsorted Bookmarks back into the Bookmarks menu at the bottom not as a flyout as was done for the Bookmarks Toolbar, but as a link to the Bookmarks Library List with "Unsorted Bookmarks" selected.

  • How can I get Bookmarks Toolbar to go from the bottom of list to top?

    Just reinstalled 27 after a crash of my PC. I imported my bookmarks from my HTML, but can't get the Bookmarks Toolbar to go back to the top of the list of bookmarks, above Bookmarks Menu.
    Also, how do I get the bookmarks from my Bookmarks Toolbar folder to display at the top of my screen again? Thank you!-Liz

    Your reply didn't answer my question, Deb, but it did give me some other info I needed. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

  • N97: Can't edit bookmarks anymore

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, I don't think the problem is you browser version, Try first soft reset and clearing cache and then hard reset if this doesn't work. N97 does have memory issues ( I'm one of it's biggest fans, but phone memory is really too small).
    Also use the user search feature at the top of the page to find solutions, most 'problems ' have been discussed before, and once you've sorted your memory management, the N97 becomes a really good machine. A little research makes the whole experience much better.
    Good Luck

  • How can I get file, edit, bookmarks toolbar back on firefox, it was accidently deleated.

  • Can't edit bookmarks bar in Safari 5.1.10

    I have tried to edit the names of bookmarks in the bookmarks bar, and add and delete bookmarks.  The changes take place and Safari will close normally. However, upon re-opening Safari, none of the changes are present, and the bookmarks bar has reverted to the previous pre-edited version.  Restarting does not help. Anyone know how this can be fixed?

    Try emptying the cache and resetting Safari.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache. Try a new window.
    If that didn't help, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Reset Safari. Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset. Try again.
    If that didn't help, go to ~ / Library / Caches / com.apple.Safari / Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Try again.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

  • Can't edit bookmark title when setting it initially

    When setting a bookmark you should be able to edit the bookmark title in the popup; now in 3.68 it doesn't seem like this is working. You have to set the bookmark, then go to Organize to change it

    I can confirm that this problem exists and that disabling all add-ons does not resolve the problem.

  • With Firefox4 I no longer get the "Organize Bookmarks" option. I can only edit bookmarks one at a time with the "star" button

    I still have the bookmarks list, the toolbar, and all of my old bookmarks, but the option to "Organize" them is not there.

    The option is now called "Show All Bookmarks", and it opens the same window as before.
    Took me a minute to figure that out.

  • How can I lock bookmark toolbar?

    I have a software program called "Auslogics Boost Speed 6". Every time it runs automatically to clean my system, the bookmarks on my bookmark tool bar disappear.
    Is there anyway I can lock this tool bar so I don't have to add all them back every time this program cleans my system?
    Thanks,
    Jim Yeary

    It is best to exclude the Firefox profile folder from this cleaning and use built-in Firefox means to cleanup personal data to avoid corrupting your profile folder.
    You can let cookies expire when you close Firefox and remove other data via "Clear history when Firefox closes".
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
    Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies with an allow exception that you would like to keep.

  • Can the bookmark toolbar share a line with a plug-in toolbar?

    I want to tidy up the the toolbars. If there is space why can't the bookmark toolbar share the line with end-note plug-in toolbar?

    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar <br />
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization
    Not every add-on Toolbar is written to allow other elements of the UI to be moved to their Toolbar. You'll have to see if it is possible to move the '''Bookmarks Toolbar Items''' ''(as it is called in the Customize mode)'' to that Toolbar. If you can, un-check the empty Bookmarks Toolbar afterward.
