I am running Firefox 3.6.13 on MacOS X 10.6.6 and cannot edit bookmarks saved under folders on the bookmarks toolbar, by right clicking on them.

This problem concerns the bookmarks I have saved under folders that are visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar just under the URL window on Firefox. On my firefox browser in Windows XP I can expand one of these folders, right click on a bookmark underneath and I get the properties option which allows me to modify the Name or Location of the Bookmark. Unfortunately I cannot do the same on Firefox running on my Macbook Pro.

If it doesn't work with the Bookmarks toolbar then you can try to do it in the Library (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).

  • I can't open links in firefox. I must drag them to the tool bar or right click and open in a new page

    I am running Vista and installed a new version of firefox yesterday plus I messed around with trying to block some obnoxious advertising pop up windows. Now I can't open links and must drag them to the browser bar or right click and "open in a new window". How do I fix this? I tried to restart Firefox but it didn't help. thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

    Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

    IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
    Control-Command-Eject
    Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
    Control Option-Command-Eject
    Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer

  • On Firefox 3.6.10 on MacOS X 10.5.8, I cannot navigate all fields in all forms with keyboard.

    On Firefox 3.6.10 on MacOS X 10.5.8, I cannot navigate some or all fields in some forms with my keyboard.
    - In the worst case, the TAB key doesn't work at all: TAB simply toggles between address bar and tab bar, instead of moving from field to field.
    - On this form (Firefox Support Forum, Ask a New Question), TAB works on some fields, but not on other fields: TAB just skips over the drop-down select list for the "This happened" field and the submit button ("Post Question") . I cannot find any way to navigate to these fields with the keyboard.
    I feel that filling in a form is most efficient when I don't have to keep moving my right hand from keyboard to mouse and back again.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
    Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.

  • When I boot up I get a complete white screen and can't access any thing including task bar. When I right click and hit properties it says it is a Firefox docum

    I downloaded a video in a zip file, when it started the whole window went white. When I right click on the screen under properties it tells me it is a Firefox document. I rebooted to fix the problem and I saw a brief view of my wallpaper and desktop icons then back to the white screen. When I boot up or log in to the admin account (guest account is fine) I get a pure white screen. I cannot access any thing including the task bar. The only way out is to reboot and the problem repeats. I have booted with my anti virus program and it finds no problems. When I exit the anti virus program there is the brief view of the desktop and back to the white screen. HELP, I don't want to lose everything because I have to reload the OS.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
    Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.

  • Since latest update, every time I start up Firefox the "New Tab" button is gone and I need to re-add it from the "customise toolbar" menu.

    I don't know if my settings are not being remembered or what, but the New Tab button is missing each time I open up Firefox.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I change the order of the choices when you right-click on a link? "Open in a new window" used to be first, but in Firefox 4 "Open in a new tab" is first - which I hate using but click on by mistake. Can I change the order back to what it was?

    Is there some preferences setting to be able to control the ordering of choices for the right-click menus?

    You can use the Menu Editor extension to rearrange menu items - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

  • Since upgrading to 3.6.13, i can no longer open tabs using the extension, only by right clicking on the open page, and then not always. I've had to go to Chrome as i can't get firefox to work.

    Firefox worked great. I have been using it for years. When i completed the recent update to 3.6.13, the new tab button/extension little + box quit working. I can click and nothing happens. I right click, get the drop down menu but nothing works. I cannot open a blank tab or windwo as when i want to go somewhere new without closing windows i have open. The only way i can access a new tab is if i go to my bookmarks and open one then use that screen to go where i wanted to go. I've had to switch to Google Chrome to complete tasks i need done online, but it doesn't let me do a lot of what i want to.

    I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

  • A Dell Technician told me my Firefox 3.6.17 was corrupted and uninstalled it and Installed 4.0. Now I lost all my sub-folder Bookmarks and some Folder Bookmarks. How to I retreive them?

    I had about 100 Bookmark Folders and 500 to 600 Bookmark sub-folders inside the Bookmark Folders on Firefox 3.6.17. When I signed off my Windows XP system on Thursday the Firefox home Page was fine. When I logged on to the Firefox Homepage the next day the page changed and I was unable to change it back, the "add Apps" had no effect and I could not customize the page. My home page is google com ig dell using Mozilla Firefox as my Browser so I called Dell to get help. The Dell technician played with it for about 1 1/2 hours and then decided Firefox was corrupted and he would have to load a new copy. He uninstalled the old 3.6.17 and installed 4.0. I specifically told him I had lots of Bookmarks and could not lose them. He assured me it would be No Problem. When I checked after he finished, I had lost all my bookmarks. The Dell Technician could not retrieve the Bookmarks and had to go to a Dell Datasafe Backup that I did. He could only retrieve a small portion of my Bookmarks. It will take me weeks to build these Bookmarks again. I can't believe these are all gone from my hard drive. Is there anything I can do to retrieve them and how can I prevent this in the future.

    I, too had my book marks disappear when I upgraded to FF 4.0
    I am now back and enjoying FF 3.6.17 (my original) yet I am still
    without my book marks and am floundering trying to recoup.
    Any help appreciated. If unable to see my book marks in the near
    future I will definitely jump ship. It's too bad that FF people have
    created this problem. I am mystified and disgusted with their actions.

    The problem could be with your OS or your e-mail client, not with Firefox. Or possibly you have used a Firefox add-on that has stopped working.

  • How can I download Firefox 4? I can only find no 5. I really need 4 so I can use the Google toolbar. My work depends on it.

    I had Firefox 4 on my MAC laptop. I then updated it with Firefox 5 to only find out that Firefox 5 does not support the Google Toolbar. I now need to download Firefox 4 but I can't find it anywhere. How can I download it again?

  • Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank (crash) and I have to restart. Most of the time its random, but recently it did it everytime I finished listening to an audio file online. Is there a solution for this?

    Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank & I have to restart. It's been happening randomly for weeks now. I haven't been able to tie an action that causes it. Firefox is open while I work in other adobe software. Recently it has done it every time the audio file finished that I'm listening to online and that makes me think it's tied to Firefox. Is there something I can do to fix this? For now, I am going to quit firefox while I work and see if that doesn't improve my situation for now.

    Does it still happen if you disable all plugins?
    Did it start happening after a Firefox update or a plugin update?
