FIrefox won't let me save the same website to multiple bookmark files

I am using Firefox 19.0 on a MacBook Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.2
I tried to bookmark a website in multiple folders. For example, this website had information about gardening, cleaning and beauty. I bookmarked it first in my gardening folder, then I changed the name of the bookmark and tried to save the site to my cleaning folder. I changed the name again and tried to save the site to my beauty folder. When I went back to check if it had worked, the site was not bookmarked in the gardening and cleaning folders, but was bookmarked in the beauty folder. I don't understand why I can't bookmark the same page in multiple folders. I may not think to look in the Beauty folder for information on gardening.

This has come up a few times before. Not sure whether all these old tricks work in the latest Firefox, but please take a look.

  • My Google Bookmarks says that my browser is offline and won't let me save the page but the Firefox booksmarks will let me save it.

    My Firefox bookmarks will let me save the web page but Google bookmarks won't and tells me that my browser is offline and to check my browser and network settings. I also can't download you-tube videos like I used to. When I hover on the picture, the "download" box does not show up but it does give me the option to stop download. I just changed to Shaw internet.

    Did anything happen to the computer?  It appears that you are trying to sync to another iTunes library since in that case you can only sync with one iTunes library.

  • My Firefox won't let me browse the Internet, even though I'm connected to the Internet.

    Excuse me, but my Firefox 3.6 just randomly stopped working. It won't let me browse the Internet anymore-- the error message it always gives me is "Unable to connect", even though I'm fully connected to the Internet. Earlier I opened up Safari and Internet Explorer 9-- both, in which, let me browse the Internet, and I had a full connection. But, whenever I use Firefox now, it says "Unable to connect". And every time I type in a URL on it, Firefox gives me the ''SAME'' error message. I don't know what to do now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it does the same thing. So now I am stuck with using Safari, when I really wanna use my Firefox. Why is it doing this?

    Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
    There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
    By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
    * Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    * Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

  • When I right click to save as an image it does not let me save the image as anything but "all files".

    When I right click on an image to do a save as it does not let me save the image as a jpeg, all that is in the drop down menu is "all files" which saves it as a bunch of numbers and letters etc. It save it as an aspx file.

    Try to add the .jpg file extension yourself if Firefox doesn't do that when you save an image file.<br />
    If you've already saved images with a wrong file extension then rename them and add a .jpg file extension. Check the Properties of the file via the right-click context menu to see if that has worked.

  • Help, Firefox won't let me surf the net on my Windows program. Says I have viruses - Help!!!

    Help me. Right now I'm on my "Ubuntu" program on this computer. IT also has Windows. A few minutes ago, on the Windows program, which I also use Firefox on, I got boxes popping up saying I am infected with viruses - dangerous- blah blah blah. I tried to go to www.avast.com to download their free anti virus protection. Firefox won't even let me search the web to get to avast. It keeps saying I'm in danger and is trying to get me to order a $79.95 version of Win anti virus. help me. Suzanne

    Running a malware program/application may not fix the problem '''''if your infection is the malware listed in the following article'''''. You may need to download and run some other items before the malware program(s) to reverse some of the changes made to your system. Review the following article carefully, and if the screenshots near the top of the article look familiar, follow the instructions given in the order given to rid your system of this pest.

  • I have transferred old bookmarks via HTML file. They appear onscreen but Firefox won't let me save to old folders. Why? Pls help.

    I bought a new computer and saved my old bookmarks in html format. I imported the bookmarks to my new Firefox as per instructions. when I click on the bookmarks menu, I can see the old folders. However, when I try to save new bookmarks to my old folders, they don't appear on the menu and I can't find a way to keep them other than starting a new unused folder. I don't want to it this way... I want full access to my old folders. Please tell me what to do. Thx

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

  • Keeps asking to open/save the same Adobe Reader X installer file everytime at startup

    Tried to update Reader X after Plug-in checker found installed version out of date. Encountered "Download Configuration Failed" error after downloading and executing installer (turns out effing Adobe has known about this problem since mid July but has chosen to continue with providing this installer on their download site). Following Adobe Support instructions, uninstalled Reader and tried again but without success. Finally found another link on Adobe Support for another installer which worked.
    However, now when I start up Firefox, a pop-up will appear saying that "You have chosen to open "install_reader10_en_air_mssd_aih.exe" ... would you like to save this file?" (the same bad installer file) even though I have saved it a few times already to try to get rid of the pop-up. This happens at EVERY start-up.

    Try using a different web browser. I was having this same problem when I was using Firefox, but then tried it in Opera and it worked like it was supposed to. I guess Adobe was in too much of a rush to release another product that they neglected to make sure it worked...They would get an 'F' in a software engineering course.

  • Firefox won't let me enable the setting to re-open my last session from ethere hostory or the main settings how can i fix??

    i got to the menu-settings-geniral-i only have use home page or a blank page it will not allow me to select in-order to re-store my last session and same in the history menu it wont allow me to click on it!

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • The new version of Firefox won't let me access the internet. How do I fix that? I hate Internet Explorer!

    On Saturday, 5/10/14, I was using Firefox at work with zero issues. I attended to work briefly, and when I looked back I saw the status bar saying my "add-ons" were being checked. Ever since then, Firefox WILL NOT connect to the internet, and I am forced to use Internet Explorer, and THAT jams more than I am willing to tolerate. I have no idea what actually was done, from a technical perspective. I tried system restore, and even found the link with the older versions of Firefox on it, but its all code, and way above what I know how to do with computers.

    hello, normally such issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

  • Firefox won't let me use the shift key

    Hi
    Basically when I try and use the shift key I keep getting this bar come up on the bottom of my screen and begins typing my text in there. Even when I close the bar and press the shift key again it still appears; I'm not sure how I can stop it from happening or how to disable it. It's getting frustrating not being able to type properly- I have to use the caps lock key for capitals.
    Can someone please help me out?
    Thanks

    hello Sab01, your screenshot shows the firefox developer toolbar which can be brought up with the keyboard shortcut shift+f2. so this is just a guess, but maybe your keyboard's f2 key is hanging...
    in case you cannot solve it that way, please enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''devtools.toolbar.enabled''' - double-click the entry and toggle its value to '''false'''. this will generally disable the developer toolbar after you restart the browser.

  • When streaming a movie file, what setting do I use on firefox so that I can watch the same website movie later in the day without downloading it again? thanks.

    I'm not sure if it has something to do with a download setting or adjusting the size of the cache?

    Media files that are streamed are never saved on your computer.<br />

  • Firefox won't let me change proxy setting

    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??

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

    Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
    I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
    I can save images normally with IE.

  • I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

    I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

    From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
    You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.
