Firefox's 'Edit This Bookmark' dialog box closes unexpectedly on my laptop running on Windows 7

I am having problem editing bookmarks in Firefox (version 13.0.1) with my new laptop running on Windows 7.
When I click on the star icon on the location bar in Firefox, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box is displayed. If I place my cursor on any of the button like 'Remove Bookmark' button and then move the cursor away from the button, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically.
When attempting to change the Name input field in 'Edit This Bookmark' box, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically after I press a key on the keyboard (ie. if I want to change the name to 'xyz', the box closes after I enter 'x'). I click on the star icon on the location bar again, the ‘Edit This Bookmark’ box is displayed with Name field shown as ‘x’.
I tried the same actions on a PC running on Windows 7 with the same Firefox version (13.0.1) and there is no problem. The box only closes after I click on 'Remove Bookmark', 'Done' or 'Cancel' button as expected.
Please help.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

How are you saving a new bookmark?
There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox, the first 4 should offer to save the new bookmark in a folder:
1.
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, without opening the Edit this Bookmark dialog.)
5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks
or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

I no longer get the "edit this bookmark" box when click on the gold star

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

i tried this idea even tho on my main pc Mcafee SA does not cause the problem. on the laptop it has just happened and i have removed and re-installed firefox to no avail. any other ideas please?

How do I stop the "drag firefox into the applications folder" dialog box from opening every time I open Firefox on my iMac?

When I installed Firefox on my iMac, a dialog box appeared telling me to drag the Firefox logo into the Applications folder, which I did. Firefox works fine, but every time I open it this dialog box opens before Firefox does, and I have to close it out. This is irritating. How can I stop it from opening again?

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.

The bookmark dialog box no longer opens when i am trying to add a bookmark.

windows xp pr0 sp3. firefox 3.6.12.
the bookmark dialog box disappeared and i can't get it back. i deleted the 2 places files. i checked and they are not read only. thank you in advance

This issue can be caused by an extension or plugin that isn't working properly.
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")

Map ID not appearing in "Edit Map IDs" dialog box

I have RH HTML 8. I am adding new topics and assigning map IDs to those topics via the Edit Map IDs dialog box.
All of my map IDs appear in the BSSCdefault.h file as well as the project's .hm file. I even manually added the topic string to the project's ali file. However, it is not appearing in the Edit Map IDs dialog box. If it's not appear there, where does this dialog box get the map strings and map IDs from?
No FARP685 string:

Peter,
I think your discussion of this problem could explain the situation and propose a workaround more simply than it does.
Based on your article, I assumed that Robo displays only the built in Word list styles such as List and List Continue (since those were the only styles showing up in the style mapping dialog and since your example shows matching a Robo style named List Mapping to a Word built in style named List). I assumed I would have to match my Bullet style to a style named List in Word, and match the indented bullet style to List 2, and so on. The actual situation is that Robo, for some godforsaken reason that only idiots would understand, will not show a Word style if any numbering (bullets or numbers) is applied to it. That is, one does not have to avoid a class of styles called “List styles”, one only has to avoid applying numbering to the styles until later.
Thus the workaround is to create the word styles (with names that match the Robo styles!) that contain every attribute you need EXCEPT the numbering. That is, I can link Bullet to Bullet and Number to Number and Indented Number to Indented Number, and so on and on, as long as I have all the Word styles in the template with their numbering set to None.
Then after I generate the document, I can modify the styles to add the appropriate numbering, and voila!
Currently scrolling the doc & modifying styles. Might be a glimpse of daylight.

What is this blank dialog box that extends from the address bar?

I just downloaded the Aol version of Firefox and this blank dialog box drops down from the address bar. I am then unable to do anything with the page.
What do I do to get rid of this thing?

Disable the AOL add-on until AOL fixes it.

"Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark.

As in question i.e:
"Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark now. Recent problem - no problems last week. A recent Firefox update perhaps?

You can also open the bookmarks sidebar via the "View Bookmarks Sidebar" button in the "Show your bookmarks" button next to the star and drag the tab or "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) to a bookmarks folder in the sidebar.
*You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar off/on via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or "Ctrl+B" (Command+B on Mac)

How can a dialog box close itself?

I have a dialog box which displays a little form for some extra information. I have some non-standard buttons which are under my control. The form is created as a view in a window which is launched by CREATE_WINDOW.
I want the window to be able to close itself. The concept is easy - get a ref to the window, then call close( ).
But I cannot find a way to get a reference to the window from inside the window.
Here is my current solution which I do not like, but it works.
I create a context node 'POPUP' which has an attribute ME of type ref to if_wd_window.
When I create the window, I do this:
lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window( ... )
lr_node = wd_context->get_child_node(   'POPUP'   ).
lr_node->set_attribute( exporting name = 'ME'
                                      value = lo_window ).
lo_window->open( ).
In the window, it gets ME out of the node, and does a lr_me->close( ).
But there is a better way, right? How does a dialog box close itself under program control?
I should add that the dialog box is displaying a view from a used component, so POPUP is defined in the used component and mapped into the context of the using component. I don't think this changes the problem, though.

Hi
Try this following code in method of button you have created for popup i.e method for example ok,cancel etc in the view which you have emebedded in ur window for popup.
Close the popup
DATA:
    lo_api         TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller,
    lo_window_ctlr TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_controller,
    lo_popup       TYPE REF TO if_wd_window.
lo_api         = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_ctlr = lo_api->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
lo_popup       = lo_window_ctlr->get_window( ).
IF lo_popup IS BOUND.
    lo_popup->close( ).
ENDIF.

Long ago we were able to drag a larger new bookmark dialog box & I'm wondering if we'll ever be able to do that again?

The "NEW bookmark" dialog box is stupid small & difficult to navigate. Once we could drag it bigger, but not any more.
Can we have that capability again, & could FFox remember the size during subsequent reboots?
Keep up the good work!
PG

If you want the list of bookmark folders to be as tall as possible, uncheck all unneeded items like Tags, Keyword, Description and so on.

I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

It seems I have solved my own problem . . . well hopefully !! ;-)
I was using a 'non' Apple cable. When I swithced to using the stock cable that came with my iPhone, iTunes can now see that I have a 'Device' and identifies it correctly as my iPhone.
Hopefully this may help others . . . ?
Cheers,
