Clicking on the bookmark toolbar does nothing

Clicking on the bookmarks in the bookmark bar does nothing. However, when I right click, I can open the bookmarks, selecting either open, open in new window, or open in new tab.
I don't know if this is related, but clicking the "Add tab" button does nothing as well.

hello, one of your addons might be interfering - try if it's working correctly when you launch firefox in safemode.

    What do I have to do to permanently display my bookmarks?

    I asked how I could display my bookmarks permanently.
    This answer does not address that issue. Instead, it tells me how I can display my bookmarks temporarily.
    While this is nice to know, I wanted to find out how to display my bookmarks permanently - not temporarily.

  • Firefox opens new window when link is clicked but the bookmarks toolbar is missing

    When I start up firefox, the original window displays my bookmark toolbar. But when I click a link where firefox opens a new window, not a new tab, the new window doesn't display my bookmark toolbar. I made sure that it was toggled to be on, and the original window has it, but the new one does not. I don't know how to fix it and it's really irritating because I use the toolbar a lot.

  • I click on the bookmarks star but it does not turn yellow

    It use to work just fine ,just click on the star and it would turn yellow but now when I click on the star it does nothing just stays transparent

    Does the star get highlighted if you visit a bookmarked link?
    Do you otherwise have issues with the bookmarks or history?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • When I click to customize firefox (themes and such), the page won't completely load. I only get the words no thumbtabs. And when I click on the words, it does

    on the drop down menu for firefox(in my bookmarks) I used to be able to customize firefox to change my themes. Now when I click on it, it only loads words, no pictures or thumb tabs to hover over or anything. When I click on the words, it does nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java. What is going on? What else can I do to fix this. And I have Windows Vista, just in case you need to know. Thanks Sharon

    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain (addons.mozilla.org) via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Where has the bookmark sort option gone from the right mouse click in the bookmark panel?

    I used to be able to right click on the bookmark toolbar and sort the bookmarks in alphabetic order, this seems to be missing from the right click menu in versions 3.xx

    Click on Bookmarks. Top of list click show all bookmarks which takes you to the library. Left side under All bookmarks, right Click on Bookmark Menu which will show as black print (not grey) and click sort by name. Will sort in alpha order.

    Why does the Right-click -> "t" delete a bookmark on the bookmark toolbar, when Right-click -> "t" opens a new tab elsewhere in Firefox. The bookmark toolbar use Right-click -> "w" to open in a new tab. Please change this to "t" to... I keep deleting all my bookmark because you don't make the commands consistent!

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

  • When clicking "open in new tab" a link that is on the bookmarks toolbar, but hidden (meaning that they are visible when clicking on arrows on right side) nothing happens. Actually all right click features do not work on those "hidden" bookmarks.

    I have lots of bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, so they some are hidden on the right side, you have to click on those arrows in order to reveal those, and that's were I found out that right clicking on any of those bookmarks does not have any effect.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • The "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing", no window!

    Whether I use the key command or click the menu option, the "Show All Bookmarks" feature "does nothing - no window appears. I see an item in the Window menu, but there is no window.

    Do you have all your bookmarks in the sidebar (Ctrl+B), if you do there is nothing wrong with your places.sqlite as far as bookmarks go, next check to see if you have history in the sidebar (Ctrl+H)
    And before you consider deleting or renaming your places.sqlite
    If you are using an external monitor with a laptop try moving the library window back to the laptop. Try searching on just a colon ":" in the bookmarks Library List.

    Try in Firefox Safe Mode to make sure extensions are not part of the problem.
    May fix problem -- not likely but you have a lot to lose if you lose data from places.sqlite so worth the trouble to try first.

  • The Bookmarks toolbar is empty, doesn't allow me to add any bookmarks. I have tried all the options indicated in the support website, but none work. The toolbar remains empty and does not even allow me to drag something down to it from the location bar.

    Please see the question above, as that is the problem I am having. I don't understand why the Bookmarks tab does not show any of the bookmarks which I have tagged. They can only be chosen from the drop down menu. I tried dragging the page to the bookmark toolbar from the location bar but that does not work. Is it a glitch in the system?

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in 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 set up

  • Is there any way to default to the Bookmarks Toolbar when clicking on the Bookmarking star in the Address Bar?
