FireFox won't let me right click to edit bookmark names

I recently bought a new computer and downloaded FireFox. When adding my favorite sites to my bookmark, the names are automatically added. They're too long, and I'd like to edit them, however FF isn't letting me right click to edit the name.
When I right click, it just goes to that bookmark as if I used left-click. The right click on the computer itself works, but not when trying to edit anything in a toolbar.
Any suggestions?

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />
When in Safe Mode... <br />
* The status of plug-ins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.
* All extensions are disabled.
* The default theme is used, without a persona.
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
* The default toolbar layout is used.
* The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
* Hardware acceleration is disabled.
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Firefox won't let me use any of the links-I can't add new links by clicking on the + box. I can't delete or add links. I can't even open one of the links at the top of this page Thanks

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the + box". Is that a feature on one of your toolbars?

  • Firefox won't let me attach my Microsoft Office to my hotmail email account!

    '''Firefox won’t let me attach my Microsoft Office document to my hotmail email account!'''

    You are in the right area, this is the support forum.
    You should not make the profile read only, that will cause problems, for instance you will not be able to change settings or add bookmarks.
    Before you go any further try to make a copy of the current profile including the sub folders and files, and any accessible previous profile. (For instance are you using a disk image of the hdd prior to it being wiped, does that have the old profile on it) this suggestion is made because some of that information is likely to be useful, but is being put at risk of being deleted or overwritten.
    Have a look at
    *[[preferences are not saved]]
    * and [[backing up your information]]
    A potential problem is that you may have tried to restore from a Windows backup, they do not always work, and may need another clean re-install, but note do NOT delete the profile it is the program files that may need deleting.
    Try the following in this order, testing after each stage
    # return the profile settings to their standard privileges
    # use firefox in [[safe mode]]<br/> no need to make changes in the options dialogue window, just click on continue
    # try a new profile
    #* see [[Basic Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile]]_8-make-a-new-profile
    # back up your profiles (see above) then try a clean reinstall http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • Earlier versions of FF let you right click on a tab to bookmark it. Why is this no longer available. You can only bookmark all tabs :0(

    Earlier versions of FireFox let you right click on a tab to bookmark it. You can no longer do this , you have to go to Bookmarks and bookmark page. Bummer :0(

    You could always go into the tab and right-click the page, and select 'Bookmark This Page'.
    Or alternatively, go into the tab and click on the star on the right end of the navigation bar. Click the star again if you wish to edit your bookmark.
    Hope this helps!

  • Firefox won't start up, when clicked, whereas every other browser works.

    Firefox won't start up, when clicked, whereas every other browser works.

    Can you start Firefox in Safe mode?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Another possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Safari won't let me left click mouse and scroll down page

    Safari won't let me left click on the mouse and scroll down the page, which I can do in Internet Explorer. That means I have to manually click on the scroll bar on the right side of the website.

    Hopefully it's a cache issue not your Magic Mouse.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    This seems to be a "feature" of Safari
    No.. it's not.

  • Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

    Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == several days ago

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

    In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks

  • If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?

    My question was already detailed: If I post a Word document on my website, I want to share the link. Firefox won't let me do that. It forces me to download the document. It won't go to the link. How can I get it to do that? Can I?
    Here's an example. I want Firefox to go to this link:
    http://www.therevdrcharleswallen.com/CV2008.doc
    It won't. Explorer will go there, but Firefox won't. I don't want to open an extra document. I want to visit the site in my browser.

    Firefox can't handle MS Office documents and you will have to open such a file in an external Office program of viewer.

  • Firefox won't let me upload files to nearly any Web site, so how can I fix this issue?

    Whether it is gmail, Facebook, or more specifically this site (http://www.carnivalentertainment.com/index.htm), Firefox won't let me upload any type of file. Of course, if the Web site offers a standard uploader then I have a better chance of having a successful upload, but if it is not offered, then I am basically out of luck.

  • Firefox won't let me select options from drop down menus, on the previous version nor on the current 4.0 version that I just downloaded.

    If I am on a site and trying to get information etc, and I have to choose from a drop down menu of any kind, Firefox won't let me choose anything. I can't answer the next question regarding This Happened because I can't select from your drop down.

    the setting for acsessing the internet have changed from no proxy to manual proxy confuration, firefox won't let me change the setting. I've gone to firewall and changed the permissions but it didn't fix problem. I can acsess internet through internet explorer. What do I do??

  • Firefox won't let me "book mark" any more

    1. Firefox won't let me bookmark anymore. It puts the window up and I fill it in but it keeps telling me it didn't go through.
    2.I am looking for comments about folks' experience with the newest version of Firefox and can't find it. I recall finding it before and reading lots of comments about problems with version 5--which I didn't download for that reason. Now you have a new version and I would like to know what folks are experiencing with it.

    I don't know what you mean about storing them. I saved them. I had a number of "folders" that contained websites I wanted to access quickly. These seem to have disappeared. I have no way of remembering all of them so can't re-create them.
    Is there something that got "turned off" when I downloaded the new version of Firefox?
