Is it possible to lock the bookmarks bar?

Its nice to be able to move everything around so easily, but I just as easily seem to delete items off the bookmark bar. Is there a way to lock it? Thanks.

I have the bar under the adress bar for bookmarks. But i use lots of bookmaks. When i nedd to access them i press the icon you told,and the side bookmaks bar is shown, and is this bookmaks left side bar that i wish to be permanently there.
What happens is that i open it, choose the bookmark to be open and then it disappears...
On Safari, differently from Firefox, when i press the icon it shows a complete page instead of the side bookmaks bar only.

  • Can I lock the Bookmarks Bar in Safari?

    Hi everyone, I operate a computer lab in an elementary school and would like to lock the Bookmarks Bar in Safari to prevent students from dragging (and deleting) the bookmarks. Thanks for your help.

    Parental controls may be turned on
    Parental controls can prevent you from adding bookmarks. Check with a person who has an administrator account on your computer.

  • Is possible to make the bookmarks bar only appear on the homepage?

    I was just wondering if it was possible, with or without an add-on, if i could make it so that the bookmarks bar only appears on the homepage.

  • How do I lock the bookmark tool bar AND the menu toolbar

    Why don't you allow one to LOCK the Bookmarks Toolbar? Why don't you allow one to LOCK the menu toolbar?
    This is insane. Sometimes my bookmarks toolbar is here, sometimes it disappears. There is no way to lock it so it stays in sight. Don't blame my anti-virus program, the tool bar stayed locked in place until you "Updated" firefox, and now you can't find a darned thing. It's so frustrating I may go back to IE...at least there, I knew I"d always be able to find AND lock a tool bar.
    Your support doesn't.
    I'm not the only one having problems with this.
    FIX THIS BUG.

    Firefox > View > Toolbars > [x] Bookmarks Toolbar
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

  • The bookmarks bar is really wide on the Mac version. Is this a bug?

    [http://img.skitch.com/20101103-1uasm1ynk15e5whb31p1bifest.jpg ]
    Surely this is a bug. The bookmarks bar is ''huge!''
    On a related note, is it possible to get rid of the favicons? It's really ungainly.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    You can hide the favicons on the Bookmarks Toolbar with code in userChrome.css

  • Opening folders in the bookmarks bar

    Is it possible to make folders in the bookmarks bar to open "like other menus" i.e. when you move your mouse to the next folder the old one closes and the new one opens. Now I have to click the new menufolder twice. The first click closes the old one and the second opens the new one.

    I am running 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.5 on a MBP silver keys) and I am not able to get Safari to save bookmarks to the bar. I have tried a few times now but whenever I quit and reopen Safari the bookmark bar resets to the default. GRRRR

  • Creating a button in the bookmark bar

    Hi all,
    I want to create a button in the Bookmarks bar. Instead of going to view->text Encoding->UTF-8, that button can change the encoding to UTF-8 directly.
    Is it possible in Safari?
    Regards,
    Omar

    Whats up....
    it is only a matter of a button. i don't think that this thing is hard.

  • In Firefox4, can I lose the folder icons from the Bookmarks Bar while keeping icons everywhere else (because the folder icons are superfluous and extend the horizontal list of bookmark folders beyond the width of the window)?

    I've just installed Firefox4 for Mac (OS 10.6.7) and can no longer see all my bookmark folders at once across the top -- because the folder icons make the Bookmarks Bar too wide. Yet, I like the icons on the other bars, so I don't want to turn them off globally. Is there a way to just lose the folder icons -- which don't appear to serve a purpose anyway?

    Small correction to original post. Machine is an iMac 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. (I was at home when I made the first post.) But the bookmarks menu behavior still exists today and FF 5 is essentially unusable.
    System details next to the post are not for machine with the bug in question.
    Found a copy of FF4 to use until a solution is found. Turned off automatic updates to preserve this version.

  • Is there a way to hide the bookmarks bar in iOS 8 on the iPad? It takes up a large part of the screen when in landscape mode

    Since I upgraded to iOS8, my iPad screen permanently shows the bookmarks bar down the left. This means I can only use about ⅔ of the screen when in landscape mode. Is there something I am missing which allows me to hide/show the bookmarks bar? Thanks

    TThank you so much! I felt it must be something straightforward.

  • How do I drag a link to the bookmarks bar?

    This started with a simple attempt to install an app that will let me see page source at sites I'm looking at (I'm doing web development and learning to customize for iphone). When I went to a site to get me started, it said all I had to do was drag thhis link ("this link" was hyperlinked text) to the bookmarks bar. I tried touching the link and dragging it to bookmarks bar but that just moved the whole page. I tried holding my finger on the link until it showed a gray background and dragging to the book marks bar. Same problem. I googled dragging links and found some sites that talked about using a + symbol in the bookmarks bar. I don't see one. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the bookmarks bar has a left arrow, right arrow, box with an arrow pointing out of it, open book symbol and double page symbol. So I looked for another way to add this ability to view source, and found a page where I guy had developed a little JavaScript that needed to be added to my iPhone. He suggested I email it to my iPhone, then copy and paste it to a specific location. So I googled how to copy and paste on an iPhone. Guess what? Found another page where I was instructed to drag "this link" to the bookmarks bar to give me the ability to cut and paste. I tried all kinds of finger tricks in the email, trying to copy the JavaSCript and finally gave up in complete aggravation. These should be baby steps and I can't make any of them work.
    On top of everything else, I can't even get iSafari to have a simple home page. What's up with that /#X%&*\# ?
    Very, very frustrated.  On a desktop PC I'm very good with all kinds of software and system tools and tweaks. On my groovy new iPhone, I feel like a dope. What happened to the intuitive interface of Apple products?  Help?

    Yes, I'm familiar with the old RTFM rule, but I tried four different times to retrieve that manual form the Apple site. Each time got an error message that something was wrong, that they were working on it, and to please come back later. On the fifth try last night, I got through and successfully downloaded the user guide.  Woo hoo!

  • Is it possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

    please explain wheterit is possible to lock the keyboard of a client from a server using java

    You want to process code on one machine, and thereby lock the keyboard on another machine? No, that's not possible. It is extremely far from possible.
    Of course, if the client is running software with security holes in it you might hack into it and crash the thing. This will lock up the keyboard pretty good. I hope that's not what you want ...
    Or are you talking about a setup where you already have code running on the client, and some sort of communication between client and server? In that case what you need to know is whether it is possible to lock the keyboard at all. Once you have figured that out, it is trivial to add the communication code to have the server software tell the client software to lock the keyboard.
    So what do you mean with "lock the keyboard"? It's pretty easy to remove/disable all keyboard related listeners in your own application. It's a lot harder (and AFAIK impossible with pure java) to disable alt-tabbing out of the application. And impossible, except from exploiting security holes, to lock the ctrl-alt-delete-combination on windows machine.

  • In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

    In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks

    My gosh, friend this is so awesome..I just tried it and it works.. how did you figure this out btw? So I have another problem.. in FFox when someone sends me an email with an photo in the email and I try to right click it is saved as a Firefox doc and not as a photo and I can't open it..any suggestions? I right click on the photo the picture library opens but on the photo line it's a Firefox document..???

  • How do I lock the scroll bar on, keeping valid HTML5?

    I have a site that was originally created in FrontPage some years ago, and I have now redone it using Muse (not before time, I hear you say!)
    There were several pages on the site where the content was not large enough to need to be scrolled on most displays, and some browsers removed the scroll bar from the right of the page when those pages were visited. This resulted in a shift to the right on those pages, which made all the fixed elements move on the screen when going between pages, which I found very annoying.
    I fixed it by adding this code to the pages in question -
    <style type="text/css">
    /* Force Right Scrollbar */
    html { overflow-y : scroll; }
    </style>
    This worked fine and locked the scroll bar on, and I wanted to do the same with the Muse version of the site.
    I have added the same code using the add HTML feature, and it still works fine.
    However, if I run any of the pages concerned through a validator, I get the error -
    Validation Output: 1 Error
    Line 23, Column 28: Element style is missing required attribute scoped.
         <style type="text/css">
    I tried to find out why this was, but all I found was a lot of standards documents which were mostly way over my head!
    So, is there any modification I can do to that code to get it through the validator, or do I need to look at a different method of locking the scroll bar on on my web pages?
    Thanks for any and all suggestions!
    Dave.

    Thanks very much jgrummel and Vikas.Sharma!
    Sorry for the delay in responding.
    I have now added "scoped="scoped"" to the code, and the validater (http://validator.w3.org) is now showing just a warning rather than an error.
    "Line 23, Column 44: The scoped attribute on the style element is not supported by browsers yet. It would probably be better to wait for implementations.
         <style type="text/css" scoped="scoped">"
    I'm not too worrid about that, as it is still passing it!
    The code is inserted on the master page of my site, so it presumably propagates through to all the pages, including those that don't need it, but this doesn't seem to cause any problem.
    The site is here - http://www.thedraculasociety.org.uk

  • I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

    I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
    Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

    Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
    Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.
