Humble Mozilla Bundle causes all bookmarks to try to load at once.
Yesterday I clicked on the "Click me" on the Mozilla start screen, apparently activating some kind of web tracking package in the Humble Mozilla Bundle which has been noted by other users. In my case, my bookmarks are organized in folders but now when I click on a folder to open it and select a bookmark, every single bookmark in that folder tries to open at once, naturally locking up my computer. How do I get rid of this (and opt out of the Humble Mozilla Bundle if possible)?
I haven't installed the bundle, so I don't know where you manage it (add-ons page maybe?), but I do have a comment on your bookmarks problem:
Firefox will open all items in a folder if you Ctrl+click or "middle-click" the folder. So one possibility is that Firefox is misreading the state of your keyboard. Could you tap the Ctrl key several times to see whether that helps clear it up, and/or exit and start Firefox up again. In some cases, you may need to shutdown and restart Windows.

My current version is 6.0.2. A box appeared a few days ago informing me of an update to 7 (x?). I declined for the time being.
Then a Start Page just showed up missing the bookmark tool bar. I tried to import a bar from another browser. Nothing showed up. Then, I went to "Help". First, I clicked on "About Firefox" where I was informed of an update. This time, I tried it. When I clicked on "Apply Update", I received a message; 'Update could not be installed" despite there being no other Firefox browsers running.
I went back to "Help" and clicked on "Firefox Help". A page came up with the URL in place, but the page would not load ("Cannot find server at support.mozilla.com"). After several clicks on "Try Again" with the same result, I copied the URL and pasted it into a different browser, from which I am now working.
Before sending this question, I tried the two procedures ("Manual Backup" and "Restoring From Backup") found on Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import And Backup/Restore, using both "stored backups" from Mozilla's Profile folder and "Choose a file", as well as Bookmarks/Show ... /Backup. In each case, the response was, "Unable to process the backup file".
I had previously tried another method I found on Google which involved copying and saving a Mozilla backup file (this is the file I used in the procedure above - "Choose a File") found in the C:/Documents And Settings/.../Profile Folder, then renaming the original file "backup.HTML" and saving it in a folder one level up from its original location. The Bookmark bar was to show up after shutting down and reopening Mozilla - it never happened. I replaced the original backup file.
It occurred to me to locate the Bookmark File for this browser (Chrome) and using it in the "Choose a File" method, referred to above. But there is no extension included in the file name, and I was afraid to try it.
I'm out of ideas. Is there something else to try?Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I recently updated Firefox. The Bookmarks menu shows a new menu item called "All Bookmarks". It appears to be a copy of the bookmarks. When I try to add a new bookmark, the All Bookmarks folder is the only one shown in the dialog. I tried deleting the All Bookmarks folder, but then nothing is shown in the dialog when I try to add a new bookmark.
If I do add a new bookmark, it is put under the All Bookmarks folder and does not show up under the top-level item I want it under. Any ideas about what I can do to fix this.
The update went normally without my intervention.
ThanksI was able to fix the problem after following the bookmark backup and restore procedures on the following page:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite#Problems_limited_to_bookmarks
I also had to restart Firefox so that the "Bookmark This Page" dialog would show the normal bookmarks.
Thanks. -
I recently brought a iMac OS X version 10.7 PC, when I try to run Scott Trader real time streaming quotes, it contantly *****, and causes all other widowns frozen, please help me to resolve this problem, or i have to give up this PC and return it to the store....
thanksI use e-trade and a couple of times, years back, I found them behind the Java updates.
So, now I install new Java platforms on my backup disk and test the streaming data on that first because I know it will be over-written that evening with my nightly backup.
Of course, since I began doing that there hasn't been a problem. Do the same with printer driver updates.
Anyway, call ScottTrade and howl! Tell them how many Macs are out there and why aren't they in Apple Developers Program? -
When I pull up the Show All Bookmarks window, I only see bookmarks already placed in folders, not the uncategorized ones.
The star option only works when the bookmark can actually be loaded.
How do I delete a bookmark that is now a broken link but not placed into a folder?A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

You should see the star even if the bookmark doesn't load. You can try offline mode (File > Work Offline). -

Since a FF8 update, all bookmarks were lost and none of the recommended restore methods work, even though I have been able to find the backup ".json" files; I continually get "Unable to process the backup file" for all methods of importing or restoring the bookmarks from the .json files. As others note, I can also no longer add any new bookmarks to my now empty bookmarks tab. My profile has not changed, so that's not the problem. This is really a pain.
Did you try to delete the file places.sqlite to make Firefox rebuild the places.sqlite database file from a JSON backup?

I have attempted to restore and import the former bookmarks, but I do not know where to look for the files. On a windows XP service pack 2 desktop computer, I upgraded from 3.6 to 15 last night and all bookmarks are gone. Please help me find where to look for them. Thanks
Do you see any JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder with a file size large enough that they can contain your bookmarks?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

All toolbar searches causes all tabs to be highlighted in firefox 8
All toolbar searches (File; Edit; View; History; Bookmarks; Tools; Help) when scrolling down causes all tabs to become highlighted. I did not have this problem in version 3.6 since I upgraded to both 7 and 8 this problem continues to be an issue.
Try a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Awesome Bar no longer searches all bookmarks after update to FF 34
I just upgraded to FF34 and having a horrible time getting everything functioning right again. My current problem is that when I type a name in the Awesome Bar, it will not look at ALL my bookmarks. It does show some, but not all. For example if I type Dev, it properly shows my bookmark for Dev Guru. If I type fire, it shows nothing even though I have 4-5 bookmarks related to firefox. If I type the letter "s" I can see 5 related bookmarks but not the proper one. I have location bar in the settings set to History and Bookmarks. I have not found any solutions on the web and am at a loss as to what to try next. I have even deleted the bookmark and added it back. Does not seem to help.
I ended up finding my own solution. For anyone who is interested here is what I had to do to fix this problem:
Steps to solve the problem of the Awesomebar (Location Bar) not finding some bookmarks:
Press Cntrl+Shift+B to show all bookmarks
Click on Import and Backup
Click on Backup
Save the file
Close Firefox
Navigate to the Mozilla Profile Director (On a Windows 7 Box it is most likely in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\YouFireFoxProfileName)
Make a copy of the bookmarkbackups folder, places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal
Delete all the files in the bookmarkbackups folder
Delete places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal
Open Firefox
Press Cntrl+Shift+B to show all bookmarks
Click on Import and Backup
Click on Restore >> Choose File

I have been uploading pictures of booksd to ABE.com for ages. I am able to view these images on the site. Today, without warning, I am unable to do this. Coincidentally, I note that I can no longer view film footage on the BBC news pages. The Latest Headlines column is also showing "Live Bookmark Feed failed to load". Please help.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images permissions.default.images
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Try to remove the current Latest Headlines feed and create a new feed.<br />
