I can't delete a more than 10 bookmarks at a time, I can't delete bookmarks folder

Firefox 25, Mac 10.8
If I try to delete more than 10 bookmarks at a time or a folder with bookmarks in it, FF hangs, then says there's a script that isn't running properly & do I want to continue or stop the script - I've tried continuing but it just hangs again, and I've tried stopping the script but it still hangs..
I've restarted FF, turned off Sync, turned on Sync.
I tried exporting my bookmarks to html, to edit them in a file then re-import them, but the file was incomplete - it did not contain all the folder in My Bookmarks.
Deleting bookmarks has been a pain ever since Sync was introduced, and Firefox doesn't have an official iOS app and the 3rd party ones don't work consistently, so I don't get much use from sync

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in stating my problem.
I understand how to delete both bookmarks and folders containing bookmarks according to the instructions, and have done so easily in the past.
But, since update to FF25 I haven't been able to delete a folder with bookmarks in it or more than 10-12 bookmarks at a time.
I resolved the issue by quitting FF, importing my bookmarks into Chrome, using Chrome's import as FF also was not exporting a complete bookmark list. I cleared out some duplicates in Chrome, exported bookmarks from Chrome to an html file, removed the places sqlite file from my profile, deleted all FF bookmarks, and imported the bookmarks html file into FF, which created a new & functional places sqlite file with the same set of bookmarks as at the beginning. I can only think the places file was corrupted somehow during the update as that was the only file I had to delete to fix the issue - I can now move & delete folders with hundreds of bookmarks in them and delete as many bookmarks as needed at one time.
"There is no way to select more than one item at a time in the right pane in the mac environnement. " (sic)
I think you mean there is no way to delete more than 1 item at a time in the LEFT panel, the list of folders, not in the right panel, the list of bookmarks and the contents (bookmarks) of subfolders.

  • On 4S how can I delete emails more than one at a time in my Inbox

    Just got the iPhone 4S (first ever iPhone for me).  When I have emails in my Inbox and I want to delete them is there a way to delete more than one at a time?  I know when I go to the Trash it lets me "delete all".  I get quite a bit of emails and it's a huge waste of time to only be able to delete one at a time in the Inbox.

    I'm trying to find a way of clicking one box/area and it deleting all the emails in the Inbox.
    It can't be done from the iPhone.  You could use Safari, access your webmail and delete from there, if that's easier.

  • Multiple AirPort Express units - use more than one at a time?

    If I connect three Airport Express units in three different rooms, can I use more than one at a time?
    Can I choose to only use 2 out of the 3 at one time?
    Thanks.

    Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can send an AirTunes stream to multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware. The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.

  • How can I return files in Trash, more than 1 at a time? I can place many files into Trash at a time.

    I placed many unix.exe files into Trash, more than one at a time. I recently updated 'QuickTime' and the Mac version of 'SilverLight"
    (name might be totally 'correct). I don't know if removing these files can impede my iMac 2008 running OS 10.6.8(updated SnowLeopard).
    I know I can 'return' one file from Trash at a time. When I try to return more than one ('mouse click' and 'drag'
    over 2 or more files, the'return' option isn't listed. Is there a way I can either 'return all' or return more than one file
    at a time?

    Only one at a time. But where are they from? Did you delete system files or are these Windows files (.exe is a Windows extension?)

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Can't subscribe to more than 2 podcasts

    I can't subscribe to more than 2 Podcasts- I hit "subscribe" to a 3rd podcast and nothing happens. If I delete the ones I have already then I'm able to subscribe to two others again. Shouldn't I be able to subscribe to more than 2?

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?

    Hi there,
    Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to expand all items if a Day’s schedule has more than 3 items.
    You could accomplish your requirement with jQuery to auto expand all items when you load month view, please refer to this article:
    Auto Expand Month View on SharePoint 2013 Calendar
    http://blog.eastridge.net/auto-expand-month-view-on-sharepoint-2013-calendar
    If I misunderstand your requirement, please provide more detailed information.

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Why can't I type more than one space in a split-view in DW

    Say, I am an a split view in a Dreamweaver CS5 and I'm typing in the right view (whatever it's called), but for some reason I can't type more than a single space there. Can I disable that?

    Thank you, Curtis. One thing that needs to be added to your post is that one has to restart DW for this setting to take effect. (Well, that may be a bug.) But it still doesn't fix the issue (read below.)
    As for the other two comments, I hate when people try to pigeonhole something without even trying to understand someone's situation. Did I say that I would be using it for a layout?
    Here's why I need it. Say, I'm working on typing a paragraph of text. My preference is to have DW in a split-view, with the HTML being displayed on the left and the "result" view on the right. That view on the right allows me to type in text directly into the page w/o worrying about HTML semantics -- very handy feature, except one little detail. Say, I have the following snippet of text, "This is some sample text" and I want to edit out the word "some" with the phrase "very important". So I highlight the word "some" and begin typing. Everything goes well when I finish typing "very", but as soon as I put a space to begin typing the word "important", something in DW makes the resulting phrase to look like this: "This is very importantsample text" Notice that the space after "important" was removed. You see, I'm not used to adding spaces after each of my edits (and that is how 99% of word processors work in the world) so my documents started to miss spaces and it took me awhile to figure out why. I was truly hoping that Curtis' suggestion would fix the issue, but even though I can add more than a single space, DW still removes spaces for me automatically, like I just explained above.
