Can the names of bookmark folders in Mozilla Firefox be changed?

Changing the name of Bookmark Folders

If you have a problem then it's probably because you are running an old version of FF. I recommend installing the current version [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/firefox.html Here]

Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
Do you have any idea how to get rid of this annoying pop-up? I searched for that file name on Google, but nothing came up.
This only started happening after the Scareware program, Open Cloud Security, infected my computer a few days ago. My wife got into my registry to remove Open Cloud, but now I am left with this annoying Firefox problem. I have to close the annoying window TWICE to get back to Drudge.
This happens 6 times per hour.
Thanks

I am unable to start Firefox. Getting message that it's already running. Can't find my profile using "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles|". What do I need to do

I am unable to start Firefox. Getting message that it's already running. Can't find my profile using "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles|". Rebooting my computer didn't help. Since I experienced that problem I also noticed that all my bookmarks which I had copied into the Windows Internet Explorer have also disappeared. I am using Firefox as my primary search engine and usually don't use Internet Explorer. I am running Windows 7 on my machine.

Try this add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-profile-folder/ Open Profile Folder]

I upgraded a week ago and every since it constantly stops in the middle of running and says "Mozilla Firefox not responding" the screen goes grey and the the little blue circle goes around and around its so annoying and does it all the time like while I'm typing this it has happened twice, it didn't do this till I updated.

hummm never had it do that till I upgraded last week PLUS I lost all my Favorites/Bookmarks that really pissed me off my husband and I lost ALL of them I have had them for years and I upgrade and lose them can't even tell you how mad we were 8o/ very frustrating to say the least.

Installed FF 16, 17, 18. Will not open in normal administrator login, nor with "Run as administrator" but will in W7 safe mode. Changed permissions (had to do it in W7 Safe Mode, normal login would not allow (logged in as an administrator) could not delete the Mozilla files in normal login. On rare occasions, with a new install, I could get it to open once, then not again. Searched the reg for any mention of Mozilla or FF and cleaned it. Tried FF safe mode, no luck. Checked permissions after taking ownership and propagating full ownership rights to all FF files, many reboots, no luck. Chrome, IE and SeaMonkey work fine. Using a fairly new install of W7 Professional 64 bit, on a Dell Optiplex 990 i7, 16GB ram. Had the same problem with another user on an identical box. No problem on other computers No other program problems.

I should have been a bit more definitive.
I have uninstalled FF, with the windows uninstaller, by manually cleaning the files and the registry of any mention of FF or Mozilla, and by running Revo uninstaller - always rebooting and checking to see if the files are indeed gone. (I have set windows file preferences to see all files, including system files.) I have run 4 AV/malware scanners and found nothing but a few tracking cookies. I download, from Mozilla.org, (http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2018.0.exe) a fresh copy of the Firefox Setup 18.0.exe each time and install when logged in as an administrator and choose "Run as Administrator". I get the same result each time I try to open Firefox. Consistently does not open, gives the error: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\firefox.exe Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This happens even when I run the .exe file from the x86 program directory. I have also attempted to run in XPsp3 compatibility mode to no avail,
I make the following assumptions:
The system is not infected
I am doing clean installs
There is no existing trace of FF on the system
I get identical results on one other W7 64 bit Optiplex 990 system with an i7 processor and 16 GB or ram.
I CAN run in windows safe mode with networking.
I have no other software or hardware issues.

Can the Start conditions editor of a Standard WF be changed

Can the Start conditions editor of a Standard WF be changed and transported to Production?
Please suggest

HI,
Yes you can do that. You can deactivate the start conditions and transport it.
I think you are working on SRM workflows. Below are few links which might be useful to you.

Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

I would like to use Firefox and I want to '''copy''' the bookmarks I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and both Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is more friendly since I do a lot of writing.

You should update to Firefox 6.0.1 through Help > About > Check for updates
before testing rather than be disappointed with a Firefox update after testing.
All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks formatted HTML file to copy bookmarks. But according to documentation you can import directly from Safari. Hopefully that applies to your Mac, because it is not shown as an option for me on Windows 7.
'''Import bookmarks''' - MozillaZine Knowledge Base
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks#From_Safari
"'''Firefox imports Safari settings automatically'''. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too. "
If that does not work:
:'''Exporting Bookmarks from Safari:''' (from Safari Help)
# Choose File > Export Bookmarks.
# Specify a location for the exported file. The file's name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.
'''Importing Bookmarks into Firefox:'''
#"Command+Shift+B" to bring up Bookmarks Library List, can be done from Bookmarks menu > "Show all bookmarks"
# "Import and Backup" menu > Import HTML > From an HTML file
#: (unless you see From Safari)
Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display menus as used on Safari (on a PC it is the "Alt" key).
Firefox is highly customizable, so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what would be done in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the "same" feature probably give you a lot more functionality and control. In the following making Firefox look more like 3.6 would be of interest if you are used to other older browsers -- Safari grew up independently so other browsers are more alike.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)

Possible to change the name of shared folders?

I deleted the original shared public folder that looks like "User's Public Folder". When I went to add the Public Folder back it ends up being shared with the name "Public". Is it possible to change this name to something more descriptive? I have several Public folders being shared (several accounts on the computer) and having them all shared as Public makes it a bit hard to determine which account's Public folder you are looking at. Does anyone know how to change the name?

Okay, after some searching around, I figured it out. Primarily I got most of it from here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6266526 , but I added something else to make it work better. The linked post mentioned that they got it to work so you can see "username's Public Folder" when someone file shared from another Mac, but in the Sharing Preference, it would still read as "Public". Well I managed to figure out how to fix that too. Bare with me.
1) Make sure the Public folder in question is set up to be shared in the Sharing Preferences
2) Go to System Preferences > Accounts
3) Control Click the username in question and click Advance Options.
4) Copy the data (the bunch of numbers & letters) from the UUID field. (you'll need it for later, save it to a txt file temporarily, you'll be overwriting your clipboard later)
5) Close System Preferences
6) From the Finder Menu click "Go" > "Go to Folder..." and enter this /var/db/dslocal/nodes
7) Then do a "Get Info" on the "Default" folder and allow EVERYONE read+write access
8) Do the same for the the following two folders, CONFIG and SHAREPOINTS
9) "Get Info" on the "Public.plist" file and allow EVERYONE read+write access (BACKUP THIS FILE)
10) Rename the "Public.plist" to "Username's Public Folder.plist"
11) Open the file in a text editor and change every instance of "Public" with "username's Public Folder" (except for <string>/Users/USERNAME/Public</string>. Thats the actual folder location you don't want to change that.
12) Now what you need to enter this
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
It goes between <key>name</key> & <key>sharepointgroupid</key> sections. It should look like the following:
</array>
<key>name</key>
<array>
<string>Username's Public Folder</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointaccountuuid</key>
<array>
<string>NUMBER</string>
</array>
<key>sharepointgroupid</key>
13) Now Paste the UUID number you got before where I have NUMBER written above. Make sure the line spaces and indents match the other entries on the file.
14) Save the file and change the permissions to your new "Username's Public Folder.plist" and the other folders you changed back to EVERYONE "no access".
15) Now the link said to restart File Sharing. I decided to reboot for good measure.
Once done you should see "Username's Public Folder" in the Sharing Preferences and when other Macs try to file share.
Works perfectly for me, and I hope that works for you too!

How do I sort the order of bookmark folders themselves?

I see plenty of instructions on how to sort marks ''within'' a folder, but I'm unable to find how to sort the order of the bookmark folders themselves. Ideally, I'd like to alphabetize them, but on occasion I might prefer sorting by the date the folder was created.
Thanks for your suggestions
Jonathan1000

Don't use the Views menu to sort as that is only for viewing bookmarks in the bookmarks manager (hence the name of the menu item).<br />
To sort items you need to use Sort By Name in the right-click context menu in the right pane.

I can't import my bookmarks on Chrome to Firefox even after I followed the Firefox guide on how to do this.

I can't import my bookmarks from Google Chrome to Firefox (version 3.6.13) even though I followed the guide on how to do this.

Just figured out by accident how to change the .html file back to a .json file. Wherever the file is on your computer, open a CMD or DOS window up. If the file name is something like "bookmarks-2011-07-15.json.html" you can rename it using CMD, but it wont work in windows. Use these commands without the quotation marks.
"rename *.json.html *.json"
Their is one space between the l and *, "rename *.json.html(space)*.json"
That should effectively get rid of the .html at the end of the file. You should also see the file has the same icon it once had before having .html put on the end of it and it taking the icon of whatever web browser you are using. In Windows, not CMD, you might have to right click on the file and rename it again to get rid of the .json if it is showing, doing so wont affect the file anyway negatively. After it's renamed you can close the CMD window.
Now you should be able to import your bookmarks using the Firefox's "Imports and Backup > Restore > Choose File" menu and would you look at that, theirs your bookmarks.
Hope this helps even though it's now two plus months since first post.

Can I customize my bookmarked folders using different colors or icons?

I'd like to be able to easily distinguish my Most Important Bookmarked Folders with a different color or change the icon for individual folders. I know I could do this in IExplorer. I can't seem to find any suggestions for Firefox, assuming it's possible?

Is there a limit to the number of selectors you can have in a CSS file for Mozilla Firefox to work?

I am writing the CSS code for my website and the CSS is being interpreted correctly by Chrome but is not even being read by Mozilla Firefox. When I use firebug, I can see that the classes appear in the HTML code but are not interpreted in the CSS.
The code for this page was recently added, which puts it on the bottom part of my CSS file. The CSS file has over 2.000 lines. Is it possible that Mozilla Firefox is limiting the number of lines it reads? If so, should I split the code in two or three CSS files (what is the limit per file)?
Thank you!

I don't think it's an issue of file length, however, as a test you could revert to your previously working file and place all the new CSS in a new file, and see whether that makes any difference.
If you clear the error console and reload the page, do you get any unexpected style warnings? By unexpected, I mean things other than, for example, -webkit-transform is not recognized and is being dropped. Illogical messages can indicate an unnoticed typo.

Can the name of the TASK bound to process level determined dynamically?

In the 'Complete and Order' step of shopping cart scenario, we can display/ edit agents. This function enable us to see the approver list. In the 2nd column Process Step, there will be a description of the approver, which is the name of the corresponding task in the BRF process level. But when we want to reuse the task for several process level, we need to dynamically set this description. Since it is a name of the TASK, how can we achieve that?
Thanks for reading.

Actually this is what I was trying to do:
<select name="<c:out value="${id}"/>versions" >
<c:if test="${param.{id}versions == yyy}"> selected </c:if>
</select>
Do you know how to make the comparision works? The problem is the double curly bracket.
Thanks again

Can't name new bookmark

Hi, When I go to bookmark menu and try to type in the name of a new folder, it does not allow me to type a name in, all I get is a folder saying ,"New Folder".Why?

The editing for bookmarks is different. For the individual

Click it. Then on the bottom, edit it using the display boxes.
