Drag and drop bookmarks ...

Hi,
I use the «bookmark bar» to categorize my bookmarks by themes and organize these themes with multiple nested folders. Is it possible to drag and drop new bookmarks to these nested folders not only to the first root level ?
Thanks for listening.

Use Cut & Paste if you have a problem with dragging.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Can't drag and drop bookmarks in FF12

I just upgraded to FF 12.0, and I find that I'm unable to drag and drop bookmarks in the "Show All Bookmarks" window. I used to be able to organize my bookmarks that way, order them, put in folders, etc. I can delete bookmarks, and I can even "copy" and "paste" them to move them around, but I can't drag and drop them anymore.
When I go back to FF11, which I had archived, it works fine.
iMac 10.6.8

it's the torbutton extension on its own that causes the issue with firefox versions 12 upwards - i also tried it with a fresh test profile. the torbutton extension is no longer maintained by its developers - they recommend a switch to the tor browser bundle, see [https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/].

I can no longer drag and drop bookmarks

I have used Firefox for several years and can no longer utilize my bookmarks toolbar. Yes, I know that you must drag and drop from the globe and/or lock icon (I have done this for years) but now all of a sudden it isn't working. I can not drag anything to my "Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar Plus" 1.2" which was updated on 2/27/15. When I attempt to drag a website to add to the toolbar I get a circle with the line through it (kind of like a no smoking sign etc). Any help is greatly appreciated

Any luck if you keep the Ctrl key pressed when dragging the link to initiate a copy?

Drag and Drop bookmarks doesn't work.

The drag and drop functionality when organising bookmarks stops working after organising a couple of bookmarks (When it works at all)! Is this a Safari bug? Does anybody know how to fix this?

I found the answer to my problems. The Torbutton add-on inhibits Drag and Drop functions (especially of Bookmarks). When I disable Torbutton, Drag and Drop works again. When I enable it, Drag and Drop stops. So, obviously, I disable it whenever I want to manually sort items with Drag and Drop.
I have read that there are about 5 or 6 other add-ons that also inhibit Drag and Drop functionality, not just the Torbutton add-on. The list is somewhere in the main Firefox support section (but it's tough to find the answer there twice).

Manual drag and drop bookmarks not working properly

I just upgraded to FF7 from FF3.6. When I try to rearrange my bookmarks by dragging them and letting go they do not land where I drop them. After some experimenting I have figured out that they seem to drop ten positions higher in the list than where I let them go.

Use Cut & Paste if you have a problem with dragging.

How do I drag-and-drop my Web Bookmarks Folder to a external flash drive? I need to move them from one Mac to another Mac.

'''Moving Firefox URL Bookmarks from one Mac to another'''
How do I drag-and-drop my web 'Bookmarks Toolbar' folder from one Mac to an external USB zip drive. Unable to network both Macs and use the migration feature. Must do this manually. Thanks!

Hi RMcMullen,
You should look at the [[Backing up your information]] Knowledge Base article. It will give you all the information you need to back up everything so you won't lose a thing.
Hopefully this helps!

I can no longer drag and drop pages into my bookmarks toolbar in the new firefox

I uninstalled firefox to try google crome. Now i have uninstalled crome, and gone back to firefox. After restarted my computer i put the bookmark toolbar up but i can no longer drag sites into the bar. When i do it opens them in a whole new window.
When i used this before i would have saved tabs in my bookmarks for easy use,
Is this a bug or am i doing somthing wrong
Thanks
Mandy

for me the problem was caused by the Torbutton add-on.

Safari Bookmarks Lost via Drag and Drop to Finder

All of my most important bookmarks vanished without a trace after I dragged and dropped their folder from the "Show All Bookmarks" screen in Safari 4.0.3 to a Shared Network Drive in the Finder sidebar. The Shared Network Drive was not connected at the time (I hadn't realized), but I received no error message that the bookmarks could not be copied to the destination--the folder and its contents were simply gone. I've scoured all drives for the bookmark files with no luck, and I confirmed that dragging other files (not bookmarks) to the disconnected Shared Network Drive gives an error message and no change to file locations.
Admittedly, this particular situation is somewhat rare, but it seems like a kind of shoddy black hole in the software: no alerts, no trash bin, no bookmark files to be found.
Obviously this is a perfect example of why one should backup bookmarks via Time Machine, MobileMe, etc.--but I really just want to understand the problem, and to see it resolved if necessary. Any ideas? Similar experiences?
Thanks for reading!

Thanks very much for your reply, Carolyn.
I tried a Spotlight search as you suggested, but found no file called "Safari Bookmarks.html," and nothing with a similar name. Would that be some kind of master log of my Safari bookmarks?
I'm looking everywhere for an alternate record of those web addresses (router, cache, cookies, Google), but unfortunately I empty my Safari history regularly and nothing else has panned out so far.

I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks or url icons

All of a sudden I can no longer drag and drop my bookmarks around the sidebar or drag url icons into the toolbar or sidebar. The problem seems to have coincided with the download of 3.6.14. The only other thing I did around that time was download Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).

YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
As I sid above:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

Nautilus bookmarks - drag and drop - gnome 3

Hi
in gnome 2 nautilus I could add folder from right pane to the left as a shortcut (or what was the name for that). In gnome 3 all my shortcuts are there, now called bookmarks. Only thing is that now I can't drag and drop files from right pane to these folder shorcuts in left pane.
Is that a feature of gnome 3 nautilus or something is wrong with my nautilus?

I'm able to drag folders over, but not files. I don't think I ever could with files, but I'm not sure I ever tried. CTRL+D will also add the current folder to the "bookmark," menu.

Drag and drop tab to bookmark, now add to bottom (previously on the top)

For some reason, I forgot which version, drag and drop tab to bookmark folder, add the new bookmark on the bottom. Previously, it was added to the top of the list. How can I restore this function? I would like new bookmark on the top, not bottom.
Thanks

New bookmarks are always added at the bottom in bare Firefox without installed extensions.
An extension can modify this behavior and allow to add the new bookmark at the top.
Did you check the settings in "Add Bookmark Here" extension?
Also make sure that you have the latest version of all extensions.

Drag and drop a URL from IE's address bar

I have a Processing application written (by others) that uses [Andreas Schlagel's sDrop library|http://www.sojamo.de/libraries/drop/] to accept URLs dragged and dropped from the users' browsers' address bar. The application works fine for Chrome and for Firefox and for old versions of IE but not for IE 9 or IE 10. I'm investigating how to fix this.
In the sDrop library [the Java code to handle the drop|http://code.google.com/p/sojamo/source/browse/trunk/src/sojamo/drop/DropHandler.java] uses the Java class DataFlavor which in turn defines a number of flavours:
imageFlavor
javaFileListFlavor
javaSerializedObjectMimeType
plainTextFlavor (deprecated)
stringFlavor
Over on StackOverflow one questioner enumerates the data formats offered by the different browsers when they drop and for IE he lists:
UntrustedDragDrop
msSourceUrl
FileGroupDescriptor
FileGroupDescriptorW
FileContents
UniformResourceLocator
Effects: Link
The URL format does not seem to match the DataFlavors given by the class. Is this where the two additional DataFlavors, javaJVMLocalObjectMimeType and javaRemoteObjectMimeType come into there own? If so, then can someone point me at any samples, examples, tutorials, or code snippets where a Java application is the successful drop target for a URL dragged from IE's address bar?

Dragging an URL '''OR''' the 'favicon' does '''NOT''' work when you want to drag this to a sub 'folder' in your bookmarks. e.g. I drag an URL or favicon to Bookmarks, I have a sub-folder called 'Recipes' where I want to drop the dragged object. I position the mouse over 'Recipes' and the sub-menu appears. I move the dragged object to drop this on the recipe list in the sub-menu and the sub-menu simply disappears. Equally, I CAN drop this on the top level BM menu but it does not drop in the place needed (I want this (e.g.) NOT at the bottom but two up from there. What happens is that the dropped URL appears to locate it self in a random position. Easy to replicate by dragging the same URL to the BM menu and it drops wherever it feels like. FF team have clearly failed to do some basic testing on this and there are many (correction MANY) other annoying things like this that show there has been poor or insufficient testing. I have been a fan of FF for a long time and recommended it to others. Now I cannot do this with confidence and am seriously thinking of switching back to an old version. However, I might simply go to Chrome. Are you listening FF team? A simple look at the forums will show the groundswell of annoyed people. You have altered the way many things work, seemingly focusing on prettifying things rather than ensuring stability and ensuring basic features continue to work...

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Bookmarks Toolbar - Display your favorite websites at the top of the Firefox window]]
I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
* FirefoxButton -> add-ons
** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]
** examples [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar/ yahoo toolbar] & [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/yahoo-mail-notifier/ mail notifier]
* also look at Yahoo's own information such as http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/toolbar/cl3/c3_ff_toolbar1.html

Drag-and-drop no longer working in FF

All drag-and-drop features stopped working on my FF 21.
That is, I can no longer:
- Drag items to bookmarks or rearrange the bookmarks
- Drag words to the search box or links to the URL box
- Change the order of tabs
- Rearrange items on toolbars
- Move text in text boxes
- etc.
Safe mode exhibits the same problems.
Please advise.

I am having this problem as well. It persists even with all my extensions and add-ons disabled, and even in Safe Mode.
I tried both solutions above. I downloaded FF21 installer, uninstalled FF, then reinstalled. Still cannot drag and drop anything. So I reset Firefox. Still no drag and drop. No rearranging tabs, no dragging images on web pages, you get the idea.
