Cant create bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel

Hi guys
I cannot create any bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel. When ever I add a website to the bookmark toolbar panel, it is not displayed in the bookmarks toolbar panel. If I go to bookmarks menu and check under bookmarks toolbar, all the websites are there! I have attached links to the screenshots.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

How do I add a bookmark to the Bookmark toolbar permanently and delete it from the Recntly Bookmarked list?

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.

Can you still drag a bookmark onto the bookmark toolbar

Okay i've searched all over the net and have finally given up so i have to ask. From what i understand the site icons are no longer shown in the url bar you now see a security lock/key whatever. From what I've found this is a security feature and was meant to happen. But what I want to be able to do is drag a bookmark onto the bookmark bar as you use to be able to by grabbing the websites display url picture. Is there anyway to do this? I swear I have drug from everywhere and can not figure it out if there is an easy way. Is the only choice now to download a button package and then make your own buttons? I feel as if I am missing something very easy and can also not find a package that will let me use a websites actual buttons.
Thank you for any answers I'm sure this has been asked before and I am just not able to locate what I'm looking for. Also using windows XP and Firefox version 28

To be on the same page with you, when you say, <blockquote>From what i understand the site icons are no longer shown in the url bar you now see a security lock/key whateve</blockquote>
I'm assuming you are talking about this? (see link below)
https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-04-08-20-09-19-4ae091.png
Site icons are now visible on the tab that page is on (see image below)) ('''You can also drag that tab into the bookmarks bar''') however that security lock means that the site is protected by SSL and is more secure than HTTP
*See [http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/secure-web-sites.htm The Difference between HTTP and HTTPS]
Yes, you are still able to drag that lock icon to your Bookmarks toolbar (if it is hidden, go to Firefox >Options > and click on Bookmarks toolbar (if it's not checked) to enable it. Then simply drag the lock down into the new bar.

HOW DO I DELETE BOOKMARKS FROM THE BOOKMAR TOOLBAR ON MY MAC???

Various bookmarks have appeared on my bookmarks toolbar. There are several I don't want to be there. Firefox help explains how to ADD bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar but not how to REMOVE them. I would very much like to know how to do that.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU.
I'm a Mac user, so don't think I have "right click", but I just highlighted the offending toolbar bookmarks and deleted with keyboard delete key, and it worked!
(I never would have thought of "show all bookmarks", tried everything else.)
Super awesome, thank you.

When I open a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab. How do I change this?

Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties. De-select the setting "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back. 
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager). 
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.

Firefox changes bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar when resetting windows

As the title states, every single time I reset my Windows PC, the bookmarks in the bookmark toolbar change order, but always to the same position, not randomly (as others have stated). Sometimes, after turning on my PC and trying to start up Firefox, it gives me the option of Safe Mode.
I have read that I should delete my profile, but that would require a lot of time to download every addon again, is there any other way?
I will add the troubleshooting information in case that helps.
Thanks in advance for your time :)

These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Cannot drag bookmarks onto the Bookmarks toolbar...I get the slash instead

When I try to drag a web address into the Bookmarks toolbar....I Get the circle with a slash in it...I can't add any bookmarks to the bookmarks toolbar. This never happened in older versions of Firebox, only in version 31. Any help? thanks!

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Using Firefox 3.6.13 for Mac: the Bookmarks menu has stopped showing new bookmarks, although the Bookmark This Page seems to work - is there a limit to the number of bookmarks that Firefox can show?

Did you place the new bookmarks in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder?

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window?

How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window? I can figure out just about everything else I can do in the window, but can't seem to edit a bookmark.
thank you

In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
* You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
* You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
* You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.

Rightclick a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click Properties

If I right click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Tool Bar and click properties Firefox freezes and I don't get the properties. Is this a known issue?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See:
* [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See:

Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu" trbl I had.
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.

I have two versions of my bookmarks under the bookmarks menu

I have 2 versions of my bookmarks in the bookmarks window - one after the other, but I can only access the first one in "show all bookmarks" Unfortunately, the second one is the one that is being updated when I save new sites. How can I get rid of the first version that shows up when I try to access bookmarks from the bookmarks menu?

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