I no longer get the "edit this bookmark" box when click on the gold star

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

i tried this idea even tho on my main pc Mcafee SA does not cause the problem. on the laptop it has just happened and i have removed and re-installed firefox to no avail. any other ideas please?

Edit this bookmark box disappears

When I click on the star to bookmark a website I cannot choose where to save the bookmark. When I hover anywhere the dialogue box disappears.
This is a new install of Firefox and I do not have any add-ons installed. Also, running FF in normal mode with all plug-ins disabled did not help.

click on the star again i am sure u can edit t den!

In Edit this Bookmark box there is no drop-down menu and there used to be!

When we ask to "bookmark this page" we are presented with the appropriate box but there is no drop-down menu on demand just three options from the past followed by an empty box. We used to be presented with all our bookmark categories and then we did something which stopped this (cannot remember what) and we cannot recover the original presentation. Hope this is clear? Please forgive incorrect terms!

Not really clear, but I will try to clear up some of what you see, and tell you that you can fix most of the problems by installing the "'''Add Bookmark to Here2'''" extension, which can help clear up some of the ambiguities, but not all of them, so read the explanation below.
The main problems are:
# You can't really do much unless/until you expand the dialog that is the first drop-down button that appears by itself at the far right as [V] or as [^]. With the extension you can make the expansion automatic for each time you open the bookmark dialog.
# The drop-down to the left shows the most recently bookmarked to folders, but once you click on it you will be at the selected folder and can scroll through all of your bookmarks, expanding where necessary to see subfolders but not bookmarks.
# Below that is a drop-down for tags, this is the most confusing thing every added to a dialog because it gets close to and confused with other drop-downs. My suggestion is if you don't use tags, eliminate the tag display entirely with the extension.
Additional advantages of installing the extension.
# Adds back the keyword field, which is essentially a single alias for a bookmark and will allow you to invoke a commonly used bookmark without the foolish additional searching and clicking to lookup or use a bookmark, and it allows you to include substitution values associated with a shortcut. (see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm keyword shortcuts] for examples and how to make your own).
#Allows you to make use of the Description field, you can modify it to suit yourself, but correctly made web pages have a description, and you can include that or modify how it reads for your bookmark. The description is not searchable when you try to search your bookmarks.
#Like its name implies you select right-click a bookmark folder and use the "Add Bookmark Here" to bookmark into the folder. Feature further enhanced if you install the "Multiple Tab Handler" extension.
#The text areas within the dialog are expandable by moving the bottom border of the areas, see the third picture shown on the add-ons page.

Firefox's 'Edit This Bookmark' dialog box closes unexpectedly on my laptop running on Windows 7

I am having problem editing bookmarks in Firefox (version 13.0.1) with my new laptop running on Windows 7.
When I click on the star icon on the location bar in Firefox, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box is displayed. If I place my cursor on any of the button like 'Remove Bookmark' button and then move the cursor away from the button, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically.
When attempting to change the Name input field in 'Edit This Bookmark' box, the 'Edit This Bookmark' box closes automatically after I press a key on the keyboard (ie. if I want to change the name to 'xyz', the box closes after I enter 'x'). I click on the star icon on the location bar again, the ‘Edit This Bookmark’ box is displayed with Name field shown as ‘x’.
I tried the same actions on a PC running on Windows 7 with the same Firefox version (13.0.1) and there is no problem. The box only closes after I click on 'Remove Bookmark', 'Done' or 'Cancel' button as expected.
Please help.

How are you saving a new bookmark?
There 5 ways to save a new Bookmark in Firefox, the first 4 should offer to save the new bookmark in a folder:
1.
2. Right-click and select Bookmark this Page.
3. Bookmarks > Bookmark this Page
4. Double-click the Star that is on the right side of the Location bar.
4a. (A single-click on the Star will save the new Bookmark to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, without opening the Edit this Bookmark dialog.)
5. Drag the website image in the URL bar into the Sidebar view of Bookmarks
or to the Bookmarks menu bar item and then into the drop-down or onto the Bookmarks Toolbar

It maybe worthwhile trying to uninstall and then reinstall the icloud control panel, if the issue is with your outlook.

My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

My thuderbolt display is 3 weeks old which I'm using as display for my mac mini. I no longer get the display on but can hear the sound. Please suggest.

Make sure the mini-displayport/TB plug is fully seated. It may look fully plugged in but isn't.
Make sure the Displays system preferences has an Arrangement tab. No Arrangement means the monitor is not being detected.
Do a smc reset.
If none of this works I suggest you take it back to apple (along with your mini).

When I connect my Iphone 4 to my computer I no longer get the option to move photos from iphone to computer. also i do not think my driver is operating. what to do?

When I connect my iphone four to my computer I no longer get the option to load photos from phone to computer. I think i have a driver problem as well. What should I do?

The AutoPlay function on the computer is controlled in Control Panel. Also, there needs to be current photos that have not been imported to the phone for it to start, and also the phone needs to be unlocked if you have a passcode on it. If you have not been prompted to "Trust" the computer on the iPhone and answered that, it will also make a difference.
Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? What makes you think that you have a driver problem? You can take a look at Step 5 in this support document to see if that helps your driver problem. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

"Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark.

As in question i.e:
"Bookmark this page" option in Bookmark drop downs is replaced by "edit this bookmark" option - so can't add a bookmark now. Recent problem - no problems last week. A recent Firefox update perhaps?

You can also open the bookmarks sidebar via the "View Bookmarks Sidebar" button in the "Show your bookmarks" button next to the star and drag the tab or "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) to a bookmarks folder in the sidebar.
*You can toggle the Bookmarks sidebar off/on via "View > Sidebar > Bookmarks" or "Ctrl+B" (Command+B on Mac)

I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26.

I can no longer get the column view since installing 12.0.1.26. The only thing my iTunes for PC will not display the column view of songs any more The only thing I have access to is the view that displays the album covers. I used the Help function, followed the procedure several times. When I click on the music icon, the icon flashes, but does not bring up a menu as shown in the "help" file.

1) reset the iPad. Hold power home button until screen goes black, apple logo appears-release
2) delete the app, reinstall.
3) wait for an update to the app
