Firefox sync is adding space when bookmarking, how do I remove it?

I have firefox synced on a laptop and desktop, both of which I use regularly. I often bookmark pages on one and like the convenience of having them appear on the other for ease of access. The problem I'm having is that bookmarks that I make with one computer appear on the other with one additional space each time I bookmark additional pages. I can't select the space, but I can put bookmarks between the spaces. It's quite a pain, and I would like to learn how to remove them before they add up. Thank you in advance. Firefox v. 28.0, Windows 7.

You can remove separators in the Library (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Note that you may have to disable (unlink) Sync temporarily when trying fixes for the places.sqlite file to prevent Sync from interfering.

Firefox sync reorder some of my bookmarks.

Firefox sync is messing badly with my bookmarks. Three folders on my toolbar are moved to the front of the toolbar and it inverted the order of the bookmarks in one of them. It happened two times today after restarting Firefox. I fear I'll have to disable that feature until this is fixed.

txaaa i've stopped using firefox sync, this messing with my bookmarks gets extremely old fast >_< i cant work good if my bookmarks are all over the place...

I have downloaded the Firefox Sync add on but when I select "add a device" it launces a help page which tells me to click "add a device" - endless circle!

Any advice appreciated

Sorry about that. The help pages have been updated for the new "Add a device" process in Firefox 4, but the add-on for Firefox 3.6 is still using an older, different process.
You can download the Firefox 4 release candidate here and use the new "easy setup" process described in the help pages: http://firefox.com/rc
Or if you prefer to stick with Firefox 3.6, then instead of clicking "Add a device" on your computer, press the "Connect" button on your phone or other device, then click on "I am not near my computer..." and enter your email address, password, and sync key. (If you don't know your sync key, see [[Where can I find my Firefox Sync Key?]])

I upgraded from v3 to v6. Firefox Sync lost hundreds of my bookmarks - it kept all the organised ones, but lost all the unsorteds. I'm now facing an inquiry at work, and could cheerfully kill Mozilla. However, is there any way to fix this?

I did read what you posted, and will point out once more - the organised bookmarks were kept, the unsorted - the majority - were lost. I tried accessing them THROUGH sync as I couldn't find them before I started sync and thought that might help. Really didn't. Sync was only loaded with version 6, never used it on 3. Updated from 3 to 6; tried to find bookmarks. All unsorted ones GONE. accessed sync; no bookmarks. went back to three. never shifting again, version 6 is a quick trip to hell. Should have known not to trust the program to preserve bookmarks, blame myself for being so bloody stupid to trust it to keep my information safe. Moral: always save multiple backups.

Firefox sync scrambled all of my bookmarks and I want to restore a backup of my bookmarks if that is possible.

The other day, Firefox Sync scrambled most of my bookmarks and I need to know if there is a way to restore a copy of my bookmarks from a point in the past. Thousands of bookmarks, all organized into folders, are now "loose" and unsorted. If I have to restore all of them, it would take weeks.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnafing glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

I don't know if this is a Firefox problem so I ask, When printing how come it always prints so small I nearly need a magnifying glass? Is this caused by something else I may have set incorrectly? help please, from a very satisfied Firefox user

This only happens when I'm in my browser. Ex. when I'm on a site and I decide I like what I see and want to print it text that is, my printer always prints tiny. When I'm in Microsoft Word for ex. I print it and it looks like what I expect. So I don't know if somehow my printer got set to print tiny when on the web. If you can help me I would be most appreciative. Thanks again for your response.

Firefox sync does not synchronize live bookmarks

Seems to be related to bug 668607 but not identical. On multiple computers, sync seems to break Live Bookmark RSS by displaying empty folders, even on the original creating computer. In addition, they appear multiple times on each machine's toolbar.
''(made it clear that a bug report is meant - c)''

Maybe this bug (shows fixed in Firefox 17, currently on the beta channel):
*Bug 769527 - Syncing bookmarks between desktop and current mobile build (14) causes bookmarked feeds to turn into empty folders.
([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html please do not comment in bug reports])

I would like to copy my work book marks onto my home computer without erasing the home bookmarks. Will firefox Sync merely add my work bookmarks to the home computer or will it replace my home bookmarks with the work ones?

No other details. Just considering using Firefox Sync. The answer will help me to decide.

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Spaces between DIV - How do you remove or adjust them?

I'm having trouble understanding the following.
How do you remove the space between the DIV. There is a space
between the Banner DIV, Main Content DIV and Footer DIV as shown in
the
Demo Page.
How do you adjust these spaces? I have tried all I know.
Please take a look at the codes by clicking the link below.
http://www.nucenturemusic.com/pr_wst2.html
I have created a demo page to illustrate this problem, or
should I say my lack of knowledge.
The space is between the Banner DIV, Main Content DIV and the
Footer DIV.
Thanks very much for you help.
Patrick

Murry,
I agree and I'm still learning. But in the context of the
current discussion it seems it would squish all the 
without the addition of your approach.
I know when I begin to add text to a new div that these
 tags are automatically inserted and cause the extra space
the OP referenced.
Is the correct approach then to add a descendant selector or
remove the or remargin the ?
Thoughts? Thanks.

</div>
<div id="butNoneOther>
#thisOne p { margin:0; }

I upgraded to Firefox 7 and was told to reboot. Each tie I try to run Firefox it tells me to reboot. How can I remove it?

I installed a new copy of Firefox 7.
After installation I was told to reboot to complete the previous installation.
Now each time I try to run FF I am told that I need to reboot to complete the previous upgrade of Firefox.
I have reboot several times with no success.
I need to remove this upgrade. How?

I have a similar problem; but I think the cause of the "already running" message is that my computer crashed.
I rebooted before I learned to look for the parent lock file, but even when I knew to look for it, I found my original profile folder to be empty.
So I created another profile folder, and FF works, but I cannot access my old profile folder. When I open the location where it should be, nothing's there. But if I go to profile manager, I see my original profile is still there (and it has a location, it's where it should be - and where it's invisible, but even if I type in this location, nothing comes up).
I tried making all folders visible (I run Windows 7), but this did not make my old profile visible.
I want to find it because of the bookmarks I bookmarked recently.

Firefox Help Search Found 0 results for how do I remove an image from my apps toolbar area. It's not an app. it's a partial image from my desktop icons. It's like it partially opened and froze.

I have a partial image from one of my desktop icons stuck in the app bar of my firefox yahoo homepage and can't seem to remove it.

Try this -
<img src="assets/jpgs/Prodigy Logo Large 2014.jpg" width="180" height="180" alt="" style="display:block;">
What you are seeing as whitespace is the space reserved for glyph descenders on any element that is rendered within a text box (i.e., an inline element). By making the image "display:block" you eliminate that space because a block element doesn't have descenders. If that works to your satisfaction then you can give the logo an id, and create a CSS selector containing that block style.

Once an untrusted site is added as an exception, how can I remove the exception?

using FireFox 27.0
I want to delete an exception for an utrusted website. There is no Tools / Option / Security in this version.
Preferences / Security does not have the list either.

Builtin Object Token are root certificates. 
Software Security Device are intermediate certificates that are send by servers and that are stored automatically to be used with future visits to servers that require them.

I don't have a problem. I want to understand how I can get the bookmarks imported to Firefox sync now that Xmarks will be discontinued.

I have all my bookmarks sync'd via Xmarks, across computers. Now that Xmarks is being discontinued, I want to have my bookmarks sync'd via Firefox sync. So how do I make sure that once I install Firefox sync, I get all my bookmarks from Xmarks into Firefox sync. I assume I import, but it doesn't say anything about this in the info about Firefox sync. Before I install, I want to know what measures to take with the bookmarks from Xmarks. Thanks for taking the time to answer this, I am sure, simplistic question.

As with Xmarks, Firefox Sync will import the bookmarks on your local computer. The bookmarks on your computer should be up to date and include any changes that are on the Xmarks servers. There is no need for Firefox Sync to import the data from the Xmarks server, it just needs to import the bookmarks on your computer.
For details on using it start with the [[What is Firefox Sync]] article. It has a description of what Firefox Sync does and links to how to use it.

How Firefox Sync is synchronizing my bookmarks in my four computers?

I'm running Firefox 4 beta 4 on four computers (a desktop, 2 laptops, and a netbook). I knew that when enabled Firefox Sync, I would need to "weed out" duplicate entries in my bookmarks. I enable Sync on each of the four computers (one at a time). Eventually, I sat down at one of my computers and "cleaned up" my bookmarks. I thought that would be the end of it.
Unfortunately, every time I start Firefox on a different computer, there are duplicate bookmarks and bookmarks out of order.
What am I doing wrong?

What I do in this case is:
Suppose you have 4 computers ok (a notebook, and computers One, Two and Three). Than you travel for a month, using only your notebook. You got your notebook a lot of new bookmarks and passwords. It is too much different from the other 3 computers, then this (I guess) is the cause of firefox-sync (fc) confusion.
When you get home and turn on computer One, hoping sync will do the job, you get a lot of duplicates.
Now, to make it worst, the server also update itself to the duplicated set.
If you don't notice and turn on also computer Two and Three, you have all of them messed up. Your only hope is your local database stored in your notebook. If you lost this also, you must clean it manually.
But if you was clever enogh to stop the bleeding before the notebook (and hopefully before computer Two and Three also, so you just need to correct computer One), all you need to do is:
Step One: The Upload. Correcting the server data!
Using the computer you know is up to date, i.e., the notebook.
1- Turn on your notebook. Wait till the boot and all that little icons are completely loaded, so you have a fast computer to act.
2- Click on the Firefox icon.
3- BEFORE the sync start taking action to mess up also your notebook, go fast to: (Do it all at once, in a single breath! I recommend you practice in some other computer before you try for real)
menu Tools / Sync / Preferences / Manage account / Reset Sync /
-> Replace all other devices with this computer's data / next / Yes!
This will make the data on your notebook to be uploaded to the server, correcting it.
Now Step Two: The Download. Correcting the duplicated computer.
Again you need to be fast, before sync starts to mess up. But now, you will turn on the computer One, the one that has duplicated data.
Do exact the same steps but:
-> Replace all data on this computer with my Sync data
This will download the Sync Server data to your computer, without merging it with the local data. Merging is the problem that creates duplicated data.
Do the Step 2 in all duplicated computers you have. If you are not fast enough and sync merge again, you need to do step one again.
If you are slow in step one, and lose the original data, you need to clean manually.
I hope this helps a lots of people.
I also hope that the developers who read this do one of the two:
1- Tell me I'm doing a lot of work for there is another fast way to solve this problem, or
2- implement another fast way to solve this problem.
Thanks!
