Firefox Show Bookmark button when Menu is visible

Just updated to FF25 from FF22, and decided to have the Menu tool bar visible, and all was fine. Until I restarted FF and now my Bookmark Drop down BUTTON is gone. I go to customize, and the button reappears, but as soon as I close the customize window it goes away. I then hide the Menu Toolbar, so just the Menu Title bar button appears and the Bookmark Drop down button reappears. WTH? Why must every time FF is updated I have to spend time scrounging Google to "fix" things to how they were?
So how do I get the Bookmarks Drop Down Button to show AND have the Menu Toolbar visible at the same time? To address those who will ask, why? or there is a Bookmarks text drop down already in the Menu Toolbar, I DON'T CARE! I want the functionality back and am frankly sick an tired of all these little tweeks FF does with no notes on what they did or why. Also another problem I just discovered. My Downloads arrow is normal button size, but when there is a download, it bloats to about 5 buttons wide and 2 buttons tall, and the progress bar is half of that height! When before it would all stay withing the single button size dimensions. So now I have to also remove that from the tool bars, as it makes the whole bar 2x the height.
This is harsh but I am so frustrated with the whole thing. When they worked fine before, and I only updated for the new features and security, but every time the FF team decides to mess around with features that have been there for months or years, it drives me crazy.

Found a link that showed me how to edit a userchrome file which allowed me to force the bookmark icon to always display regardless of what mode the menu bar is in.
Seriously FF you are ridiculous.

In firefox 4, bookmarks drop down menu dissapeared next to the home buttom, but appears to be there when customizing, when clicking done, is dissapears

My bookmark drop down menu disappeared next to the home button on firefox 4. When I right click customize, the bookmark drop down appears on menu bar, but when clicking done, it's gone again. I went into customize and removed it then put it back. When clicking done, it is gone again and will not appear. It happened when I click tools, options, tabs, and uncheck open new windows in a new tab, then clicked ok

I had this same problem, using Ubuntu 11.04, here is the solution, pretty simple after trying 800 things to find the solution. Go to your addons, disable the addon called "global menu bar integration", then if your menubar is still viewable, disable it, and then you can see the drop down menu for your bookmarks. If you don't have Ubuntu then you just need to disable your menubar directly (the one with File, Edit, View, etc).

What happened to the show bookmarks button firefox 3.6.x

In Firefox 3.6 and all previous versions I have used, there was a button on the bookmarks toolbar near the New-Tab/New-Window buttons.
The button was purplish with a white "star" in the center. Clicking the button would open the sidebar and display the bookmarks in the sidebar.
Starting with Firefox 3.6.3 (I never tried 3.6.2), this "Show-Bookmarks-in-Sidebar" button has disappeared.
Now, in order to show the bookmarks ion the sidebar, you have to click:
[View]=>[Sidebar]=>[Bookmarks]
What happened to this button ?
Can I customize FF to bring this button back ?
(If I rt-click=>customize, I see all kinds of buttons I can add to the toolbar, but the bookmarks button is not there).
Thanks
Kevin

That button is in the Customize Palette. <br />

I cannot find the 'organize bookmarks' button AND menu entry on the new browser

1. The 'organize book,arks' menu item in the bookmarks menu is missing.
2. When I try place the bookmark button along with other buttons, it never appears. (in customize toolbars)
Help !!!

"Organize Bookmarks" has been renamed to "Show All Bookmarks" in the Bookmarks menu in Firefox 4.
I believe the bookmarks button will appear on the main toolbar only when the bookmark toolbar is hidden.

Can firefox show bookmarks list in alphabetical order like Internet Explorer?

I don't want to have to go to "show all bookmarks" then search for a bookmark. I want to just see the list and go down to the right one, or start typing it and go to it.

Hi
Easiest way to put your bookmarks in alphabetical order is to right click on a bookmark folder and you have the option to "Sort By Name".
Alternatively, have a look at this list of bookmark related addons ([https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/bookmarks/ link]).
Hope this helps, please come back here if you need any further assistance.

How to get torch home screen to just show no apps when menu bar is closed?

Please bear with me, I'm struggling with how to explain this ha ha!
On the torch homescreen, you touch the 'all' bar at the bottom to display the full menu. When you touch the bar again it closes the menu of apps.
When I first got the torch the menu, when closed, displayed just one row of 4 apps (SMS, browser etc) But I must've pressed something unknowingly or changed a setting so it showed no apps at all when i closed the menu. I preferred this as I like the home screen to just show the background on the phone and not look cluttered.
However it changed back recently and is now showing TWO rows of apps now not even just one! and can't for the life of me figure out how to change it back??
Thanks to anyone who helps!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just touch and drag down to the bottom of the screen. You'll then see just the arrow ^ (You can adjust that way for 0 to 3 rows of icons.) Then, when you tap the bar with the arrow, you'll get your full screen of icons back.

Type to search vs. Ctrl+F - How to show the buttons when I type to search

I'm set up to search a web page when I start typing, but I want the buttons that are present when I hit Ctrl+F to also show up as I type.
My search hasn't pulled up anything. Maybe my terms are too general? This seems like something the community would have figured out.
I've attached a screenshot in case it's not clear.

See if this helps you - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-contents-current-page-text-or-links
The Find Bar does offer more features than if you are using the Quick Find feature.

Firefox shows wrong page when application opens a new window

Only fails since V4.0.0 installed.
pages that open a new window using window.open(url) sometimes produce a page from cache instead of the page to be loaded. This seems erratic. Often, failure starts after a popup window loads and is closed, then attempts to open a different popup will produce the first page contents (or the default home page) instead of the page requested. Seems as tho there is a bug in FF determination of whether to fetch page from cache or new. Tried setting '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' to 1 and while that seemed to help, it did not resolve all the errant behavior.

To restore the original behavior, you could try removing the explicit site-specific permission by deleting the site from this dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content > "Exceptions" button to the right of Block pop-up windows
Does that work?
Also, I don't recognize this part:
''At the bottom of the window would be the URL address(es) of the popup page(s), so that if I wanted to access a page, I could simply click on the address and a new tab would open with the new page.''
Oh, wait a minute, I just reviewed your "More system details" list again and it appears that you have a custom pop-up handler:
* Extension: Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.7
* Modified setting: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage: False
So if the above reset doesn't resolve it, you might need to review the add-on's settings in case it has its own list.

Firefox shows Fatal Failure when clicking on embedded URL Link

I use Mozilla Firefox 3.6.11 as my default web browser, on Windows 7.
I have a web-site at http://www.over-count.org.uk which has dedicated Pay-Pal “Donate” buttons embedded in html code Links on the home page, so that visitors can click on them to donate to us via Pay-Pal.
However, if I'm using Firefox as my web browser, clicking on either of these links only results in a Message appearing stating “Fatal Failure”.
If I use Internet Explorer 7 as my browser, and then click on the same Pay-Pal links, both work perfectly, and takes me to my dedicated Pay-Pal “Donations Page”
Also, using Firefox and accessing my Pal-Pal account via the 'normal' log-in procedure, there is no problem- it seems to be with linking to the https/ secure server via an embedded link.
Is this a known problem with using Firefox, or do I need to have a different html code inserted on my web-site publisher?
Any advice or solution would be appreciated, thanks,
David Grieve, Scotland.

It also works if that page is not in a frame: http://over-count.weebly.com/

Using FireFox 10.0.2, when I try to bookmark a page, why is the bookmark pull down menu faded?

I can provide a screen shot of the problem if it will help. I also uninstalled 10.0.2, went back to the 9.0.1 version and this occurs too. I checked all options and I could not find anything that would change the background of the bookmark menu. I did find that if the web page had a dark background, the bookmark pull down menu was visible but not visible on a white web page.

Thank you cor-el for the response. I tried disabling the "hardware acceleration", shut down Firefox then restarted and get the same results. I can see the pull down menu well when there is a dark background. I may just have to wipe the system, reload the o/s then reload Firefox. Do you think it would help to load an earlier version of Firefox?

Cannot click bookmarks on menu bar after ALT-key when menu bar is hidden

If you personalize the toolbars, dock the "Bookmarks objects" to the menu bar (useful to reduce space) and hide the menu bar (making it visible by pressing the ALT key) you're not able to click a bookmarks bar's item anymore because (after having shown it by pressing ALT key) as you click the bookmark button the menu bar loses focus causing the whole bar to be hidden again and the click event to be catched by the main window instead of the bookmark button.
[http://alextm.no-ip.com/bookmarks_on_menubar.JPG Screenshot of the header with bookmarks]

With F10 you obtain the same result, the menu bar is shown but when you click on a non-menu item the bar is hidden again not allowing the bookmark item to catch the click event.
Of course I know how to move the bookmarks bar back to the tab bar, but it is not a solution to the problem I've posted, just a workaround. As I've said in my previous post I've moved the bookmarks bar there to limit the height of the window's heading section: if I move it down again I miss my target.
Anyway, I don't think we are here to decide wherever to place the bookmarks bar, but to notify to the developers the presence of this issue.

All my bookmarks have disapered, tried to recover them as per the instructions on the help site, but no good. And now firefox wont let me make anymore bookmarks, says they're bookmarked but nothing in bookmark drop down menu, please help

All my bookmarks suddenly disapered, tried recovering them as per the instructions on the help page, but no matter what date i try it fails saying no backup! Now firefox says bookmark added when i try to add them but nothing appears in the bookmarks drop down mene, so i cant even add my old bookmarks manually, driving me mad please help.

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

2 bookmark buttons

OK so I’ve customized my toolbar to add the ‘Show bookmarks’ button. But I can’t seem to remove the one from the Bookmarks bar - via preferences or any other way. I don’t need two. And I’d like that tiny bit more bookmarks bar space back.
I must be missing something obvious.

OK. In fact there’s also a difference in functionality The Bookmarks Bar button toggles; but the new toolbar button just goes to bookmarks and won’t toggle back.

Can't find "Show All Bookmarks" button on Firefox 29

I can no longer locate the "Show All Bookmarks" button from the Bookmarks menu on Firefox 29. I tried looking for it in the Bookmarks Sidebar, but it's not there either. I would like to manually backup my bookmarks from time to time - is there another way to do this on Firefox 29?

See also [[/questions/997080]] Is it possible to move "show all bookmarks" in the bookmark-menu to the top?

I can't open bookmarks from the menu in new tab on firefox 6.0 using the mouse middle button or right click. Is this normal?

I can't open my bookmarks from the menu in a new tab.
I'm wondering if this is simply not a feature and requires an add-on. I'd rather not need to use an add-on.
can anybody help?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''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 [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the 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 other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
