I can't put websites on my bookmarks toolbar

I have a work laptop and every year they clear the memory. When I went to set up Firefox with my bookmarks toolbar, it doesn't work. I have the toolbar, but when I try to drag the website icon to the toolbar, a circle with a slash through it appears - Firefox won't let me. What can I do??

I also had this problem. I suspect that this was caused by some extensions that I had installed. I followed the steps listed at this link (for a completely separate, yet related issue) and found that it resolved it for me:

There are two extensions that help you apply your choice of an image for any Bookmark, not just the BTB icons. Choose one extension based upon the features it has,

When opening firefox I get, Can't connect to server on my homepage, but I can then open websites from my bookmarks. How can I resolve this?

I get a long load time when I open firefox 35. Then cannot connect to server, however i can then open websites fine via my bookmarks list. Tries reinstalling, did not help, made google my homepage in options, does not help.

Does this happen every time? Or is it only when your computer is first turned on/waken up?
If you open another browser (Internet Explorer/Chrome/...) does it do the same thing?
I might be that your computer takes a few seconds to (re-)establish its network connectivity after sleeping. Try this
#Click Start
#Type Computer Management
#Click the first result or push enter
#Click '''Device Manager'''
#Expand network adapters
#Right click on your network adapter then click '''Properties'''
#Click on '''Power Management'''
#Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

How can I put favicons on the bookmarks bar?

I am used to seeing favicons next to my bookmarks--in fact, I have several that have favicons only (such as Google Reader, ESPN). Can this happen with Safari (Windows)? After favicons, seeing all text bookmarks on the bookmarks bar is so 2000s.
Sorry if this is the wrong category; I didn't see a Windows Safari version forum.

*How Can I Put Lyrics On The Songs In The iPod Touch?!
Read the response by Jim VanLeeuwen, but I might add a few comments:
(a) Lyrics on the Touch are only supported if you have firmware 2.0 or later.
(b) If you auto-sync your iPod, the changes you make to your library will be copied over to the Touch on your next sync. But if you manually manage the Touch I believe that you will need to delete the revised songs from the Touch and drag the new copies over. Although you can add lyrics directly to the songs that are on the Touch (if you manually manage) it is better to edit your library and replace the updated songs on the Touch. That way in case your Touch ever gets corrupted and you have to delete everything, you won't lose the lyrics (or any other tag changes you made directly on the Touch).

Have transfered my favorites from IE9 can I put them in my bookmarks

i have transferred my favorites but have some that I want to put in my bookmarks instead of keeping them in the IE transfer. So would like to know hoe to put them in the bookmark place.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
*Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML

How can I get a two-line bookmark toolbar?

I have too many websites I visit daily! I like having them available at a single click on my bookmarks toolbar, but I'm trying to squeeze too many on there. Is there any way to stretch the toolbar vertically so I can get two lines of bookmarks on there? (Yes, I know, I can put them in the bookmarks dropdown, but that's too many clicks to get to the ones I use every day.)

How can I restore "most visited" to bookmarks toolbar on firefox 5.0 ?

I deleted it to tidy up tool bar , but another user has asked for me to put it back

Hi Georgina,
A newer version of Firefox will not bring back what you purposely deleted.
But if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar then you might want to display it because that is where the original is/was. (see additional comment at bottom)
'''First create a bookmark:''' and let's make it for 12 instead of 10
:Right click on your bookmarks toolbar, "Create a new bookmark". Use copy and paste to populate your bookmark from the following:
'''Name:      ''' Most visited (12)
:'''Location:  ''' place:sort=8&redirectsMode=2&maxResults=12
Use the "Add" at the bottom to create the bookmark, no peeking at the location, you won't see it.
Exit Firefox with "'''Alt+F'''" then Exit (don't use the "X" in upper right corner)
Left click on your what is now your "Smart Folder", and you should see the 12 most visited from your '''history '''-- nothing to do with bookmarks that you also have.
If you right-click on the "Smart Folder" you won't still won't see the location, unless you have an extension or a style to show everything. -- [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/user/52 David McRitchie]
If you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar then you can display it with "Alt+V" to bring up the View menu then "T" for Toolbars, click to show checkmark next to the Bookmarks Toolbar.
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].

Can no longer drag urls onto bookmarks toolbar folders

One of my favorite features in Firefox was the ability to drag a url from the address bar right into my folders on the bookmarks toolbar. The folders would even spring load like Finder, so I could put urls in subfolders. This has become the foundation of how I do all my research! Now in Firefox 4 I can't do this. I don't want to command-D and navigate to the right search folder every time I want to bookmark. I want to drag & drop! Where did this awesome functionality go?

I had this aggravating problem with bookmark functionality as well.
For me it was torbutton 1.4.5 and firefox 8.0
disable torbutton
Cheers

How can I permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items (getting started, most recent, etc.)?

I can't seem to permanently delete the default bookmark toolbar items. They show up frequently on start-up, even after manually deleting them in a previous session. I use 3.6 x_32 on Linux (for Flash) and 4.0 RC 1 x_64 (for non-flash) sharing the same profile.
I use the X-marks extension and I thought that was the cause the problem, but the problem keeps happening even after deleting all of the the default items in each version and then overwriting my x-marks server data with a forced upload both times.
I'm guessing that x-marks will be most people's prime suspect. I just want to make sure that firefox isn't recreating the items as a default behavior.
I know it's a minor annoyance, but I keep my bookmarks toolbar pretty full. Thanks.

Does it still happen if you temporarily disable Xmarks?
Doesn't it work if you hide the Bookmarks Toolbar?

Can I create more than one bookmarks toolbar?

I'd like to set up several toolbars -- one for myself & my favorite sites .. one for my kids for their school needs ... and one for my husband. Can this be done? Will all three show up at the top?

Can I create more than one library on the same computer? Just got an ipod for my wife but didn't want her to have to use my library to sync to, so I thought I created another library for her. When I deleted my albums from her library the disappeared from mine. (I think?)
I know it's Valentine's Day, but before you get your wife fixed up the first thing you need to do is recover the deleted albums for your own library. See if the files are elsewhere on your hard drive, or in the Recycle Bin. When you find them, get them back into your own library. Now you are ready to help your wife.
As noted above, you can have two libraries in one Windows user account via the Shift-Start approach, but if you both use your libraries regularly, that becomes annoying quickly. It is better to set her up with her own Windows user account. She can have her own iTunes library there.
Get a copy of your entire iTunes folder to start her off. She can delete stuff she doesn't want without messing you up.

How can I move App Tabs to the bottom, where the other bookmark toolbars are? Or, how can I put my bookmark toolbars in two rows and forget the App Tabs?

I have several bookmarks on my toolbar, and my most often used ended up in a pull-down menu, which is annoying. I tried to click and drag them onto the menu bar, because there was room for more icons, but they won't budge. Nothing under "Toolbars" was helpful. Help would tell me to right click on my toolbar and then click on "Customize"...which didn't come up as an option. I would really like all my toolbar bookmarks (I only have about 10) to be visible on the actual toolbar, not hidden away in a small pulldown tab.
There is a plug-in that enables you to put bookmarks in two rows on your toolbars, but it is not compatible with my version of FF (7.0.1).
App Tabs are cute, but I don't like them on top where they take up room where I have the tabs for various websites open (I usually have several open at a time). App Tabs are fixed and don't scroll over like website tabs, which is extremely annoying, and hence why I 1)would like to move them to the bottom of the toolbar or 2)be able to display all my bookmarked toolbars --which is what I prefer.
BTW, I have Windows 7.
Thanks in advance for your help.

App tabs are special tabs and are always displayed at the left end of the tab bar.
You can place all bookmarks that you want to see on the Bookmarks Toolbar in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder. 
You can do that in the side bar or the Bookmarks manager if you can't do it on the Bookmarks Toolbar. 
Most Visited is a special (smart) folder that shows websites that you've visited and that aren't necessarily bookmarks, so you can't drag them on the bookmarks toolbar unless you first bookmark them. You can do that by opening them in a tab and clicking the star on the location bar twice and choose the Bookmarks Toolbar as the destination folder.
