Firefox will not let me bookmark anything. Bookmarks don't show in "organize bookmarks."

In the last few months Firefox will not bookmark anything. I click "bookmark this page" but nothing happens and the page does not show up in my bookmarks window. There are also a lot of bookmarks not in folders that do not show up when I click "organize bookmarks" so I can't move them to folders or delete them. But they do show up on my bookmarks list when I click "Bookmarks" in the menu. I'm on a Mac, OS 10.4.11 and simply let Firefox update itself whenever it wants. Seems some of the latest updates have rendered my bookmarks ability null.

Well, I followed the instructions in the second link ... now I have no bookmarks at all. And Firefox is unable to process my request to restore my bookmarks from the desktop backup file I created. Any other suggestions? I really need my bookmarks.

  • I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    I have to tell Firefox that I am logging in from "home" every time I log into Facebook. Firefox will not let me unclick ""Send me an email" under Login Notifications in Facebook "My Account" settings. Why? (to both questions)

    It started last week - I normally use Chrome to play my games in Facebook - but I started getting "Sorry, this feature isn't available
    right now"..... When I used IE..... no problem - a friend said to install Foxfire, which I did, but I made the mistake of having my bookmarks and whatever transferred from Google as it is the browser I used most often and it has all my bookmarks, but
    now it does the same thing when I try to log into Facebook. - I have no problem with any other website.  I deleted both Google and Foxfire and tried to start over - I cleared History and checked all the boxes hoping that this would help - but it did not.
     I can't understand why I can get in with IE, but not Google or Foxfire.  Do you have any suggestions.......
    On Friday, it started working again - and everything was fine.  But on Sunday evening I ran the History Clean in Google and when
    I went to log back in, I couldn't and got the same "Sorry" message and has stayed this way since. 
    I ran a Norton scan of the entire computer, a Hitman scan, a CCleaner scan, ...  all to no avail. Problem still exists.
    I tried to run a restore program prior to the problem, but I am getting error messages like mad.
    there has been two Windows Updates in this time frame and I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not - but my Restore program does not work.
    NYCsDancer -- if its working via Internet Explorer, we can't help you much. Most of the time it has to do with Cookies, or your Java Version. I'd reach out to Google's forums for assistance with Chrome

  • The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes on any website or in the url bar

    The address bar in firefox will not let me use down arrow in menu boxes or in the url bar. Usually if I click on the down arrow in the url bar, my most common websites pop up... now it won't show me them...
    It is also happening in any website I use via Fire fox. I don't have this problem with windows or Internet Explorer. Even the down arrow box below this.. asking "this happened" won't let me see the choices.. it just flashes by.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks

  • My safari is messed up.  Every time I do anything it randomly opens a new window for a website that looks like a virus. It also will not let me watch anything on Netflix. I don't know what to do, someone help!

    You may have installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Right-click or control-click the line and select

    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework

    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • Firefox will not let me get on any websites (safe AND not safe), claiming that it "may pose a security threat to your system"; when I try to choose the "proceed unprotected" option, it won't let me.

    My computer's anti-virus software recently expired. A few days later, I went to download a new anti-virus software . . . when I opened up Firefox, I received a warning that claimed Firefox was infected with "Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen", and gave me two options: "Activate XP Security 2011 (recommended)" (this was a $60 charge and required credit card info) or "Continue unprotected (Dangerous)"
    Since I needed to install new anti-virus, I figured I would continue unprotected, download my new software quickly, and remove the virus. But when Firefox opened, it gave me a message saying: "Firefox alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!". Gave me three options:
    1. "Get a copy of 'XP Security 2011' to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)"
    2. "Run a spyware, virus and malware scan" (I already did this)
    3. "Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)"
    I tried clicking on different links, but the same warning kept showing up, even on verified and safe sites. I tried to choose the third option so that I could download my anti-virus software quickly, but nothing happened when I clicked on it - the page reloads and the warning shows up again.
    My computer is still without anti-virus software because Firefox will not let me surf the internet. Please help!

    It sounds as though your PC is infected with fake antivirus software. The detailed cleanup instructions vary depending on which fake AV you have. However, as a first step, try this:
    Download the following on a different PC, copy them to a USB flash drive or CD, and then run them on the infected PC:
    Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
    Hopefully these will get you back online safely. If not, search for clean-up instructions for the specific malware.

    when I email photos from my iphone, firefox will not let me open them in yahoo.mail as jpeg images, only firefox documents

    Two weeks ago I posted this, but no one replied telling me how to correct the problem.
    I think Firefox engineers need to improve Firefox between now and the next up-date to make it adequate to handle all major websites. There aren't many websites used by as many people as yahoo. So why have Firefox engineers ignored this deficiency in Firefox?

  • Ovi Suite 2.0 WILL NOT LET ME DO ANYTHING because ...

    First off I want to say that Ovi Suite will not let me do anything because the program is locked up trying to find maps. I can't stop it no matter what I try and do. Reinstalling it does nothing for me, since as soon as I open the program up again, it's trying to connect to the maps server. All I want to do is backup my phone. That's all. Nokia this is the worst piece of software you have ever released. I don't know what you were thinking.
    Can anybody help me cancel the Map loader while it's trying to connect to the server? I've looked everywhere for something to cancel it but I find nothing and I can't do anything I need to do in Ovi Suite because of it.

    I'm running Win XP Pro 32-bit SP2,
    N97-3 (RM-507) running firmware v 20.2.019,
    USB connection,
    Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.1.35,
    PC Connectivity Solution 9.39.0.0,
    Connectivity Cable Driver 7.1.20.0
    Nokia Ovi Suite Software Updater 2009.40.0.60128
    Maps Service API 3.0.35.0
    Nokia mPlatform 2.5.195
    Ovi Desktop Sync Engine 1.0.0.684
    I also tried my E71-2 (RM-357) running v 200 firmware, and still, the second I connect it, Maps tries to start loading, never does, and prevents me from doing the things I need to do (Backup, software updating, message syncing). There's no way to cancel it.
