Locking Bookmark Folders in position

I have a very extensive list of bookmarks in the sidebar, organized in multiple layers of folders.
While moving around, I've found it far too easy to inadvertently move a folder and bury it in another folder or sub folder.
I'd like to see a "Lock Folders Position" option to prevent moving them once added and placed in position.

A Request for Enhancement can be submitted here: <br />

Or, you can look for an extension that has that feature. <br />

I have seen an extension with that feature, but I don't look for any extensions these days - I am set in my ways and really don't have room for any new extensions.

How do I lock my bookmarked folders

I want to lock my folders that have been booked marked and folders in find, does anyone know how to?

Are you asking how to lock your folders that you have created in Safari?
Don't think you can.
However, if you make backups, you should be able to go back and retrieve your old bookmarks.
To lock folders that you have on your own drive just click on the folder in question, get info, then click on lock.

In Safari 8, I have problems moving my bookmark folders without it going into another folder. I cannot organize them in any manner?

Keeping the folder you are moving to the far left will do the trick.

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.

Upgraded to Firefox 4.0 Can see and use all old bookmarks folders and bookmarks, but cannot see any of the old folders when I attempt to bookmark a new page- only see Bookmarks toolbar & Menu and unsorted bookmarks

Had several bookmarks folders under old Firefox. After upgrade to 4.0 all of these still work via bookmarks menu. Problem is, when I attempt to bookmark a new page and place it in one of my existing bookmarks folders with 4.0, the only folders that Firefox can see are the bookmarks toolbar, bookmarks menu, and unsorted bookmarks. How do I get Firefox to see the old folders so that I can continue to put bokmarked pages in them??

In the "Edit this Bookmark" window, use the 2nd drop-down button, that is to the right of the "Folder", to open a larger window that will allow more folder to appear. See the sloppy red arrow on the screenshot below.

When I try to bookmark a page the dropdown menu only shows 4 of my many bookmark folders.

I have a heck of a lot of bookmark folders. These show up in the dropdown menu when I click on Bookmarks in the toolbar. However just today when I try to bookmark a web page, I only am given offered four folders in which to file the bookmark. Clicking on "choose" doesn't show any folders at all that I've created. Same thing when I open MF in safe mode with addons not enabled.
If I click on "Bookmarks menu" in the bookmark window then click on the arrow to chose a file, I see an odd assortment of random bookmarks and files.
To complicate matters, perhaps: This morning Firefox went crazy. Details don't matter now. I followed instructions in MF support and saved critical files. Then uninstalled and reinstalled a new copy of MF. Created a new profile and moved critical files into it.
Am I missing a file? Is something corrupted? (How would I find it?) Why would MF not see my folders when asked to file a bookmark?
Thanks

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Multiple copies of bookmark folders appear with different contents in each one; I'm trying to sync bookmarks on 3 computers

That's pretty much it: I have a lot of bookmark folders, and when I tried to replace xmarks with sync, and began to sync additional computers, multiple non-identical copies of the bookmark folders began to appear; it would seem that 3 of each appeared, but they were not all the same, as if some bookmarks within folders were distributed across multiple identically named folders. What's up?

Safari 5.1.1 I no longer have access to my bookmark folders, just a search that does not work well. How can I retrieve access to bookmark folders?

OS 10.6.8 Safari 5.1.1 I no longer have access to the bookmark folders. There is just a search function that does not work well. Is there any way to get access back to my bookmark folders?

This site didn't say anything about one wrong ID, but only talks about changing the Apple ID. If it didn't work the first time why should it work now?

Under v33, 2 Win 8.1 PCs sync well; a WinXP PC communicates its bookmarks + bookmark folders, but not its tabs; a Win7 Starter Edition PC syncs nothing in & out

I just want to report inconsistencies in synchronizing 4 machines. ALL four were introduced to syncing in the last week or so under the latest Firefox. No account was open under the older sync method.
3 machines below run Firefox 33.0. The Windows XP machine runs Firefox 32.
Two Win 8.1 PCs sync well between each other (can see each other's tabs and bookmarks).
A Win7 Starter Edition PC syncs nothing in & out, even though the Sync icon turns when clicked on.
A WinXP PC communicates its bookmarks and bookmark folders to the Win8 PCs, but NOT its tabs. After the commands HISTORY | TABS FROM OTHER DEVICES in the Win8 PCs, no tab from the XP computer shows up, even though the XP computer has open active tabs.

* How do I turn on sync logs:
# Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
# Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
# Logs and error messages will be located here

I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this.

I have a lot of various book mark folders with websites contained within each folder. I am able to sort the websites within each folder alphabetically by name but I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this other than manually dragging them as this is extremely hard for me due to the fact that I am a quadriplegic with limited hand movement dexterity

Bookmark folders that you created are in the Bookmarks Menu folder. "Sort" that folder.

My bookmarks folders aren't opening?

I have lots of bookmarks folders in my bookmarks menu, however recently they haven't been opening. If i hover over them it just shows a small square, and nothing happens if I click on them. However, I know that the bookmarsk are still there, because if I right click and choose open all in tabs, then the bookmarks in that folder will open. As well as this, I am also unable to create any new bookmarks - they show up if I open the Library, but not in my menu. Any help will be appreciated!

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to dropdown in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

When bookmarking a page, I can't get the complete list of bookmark folders to drop down in order to select any folder in which to bookmark page. The 'Folder:' bar has 'Bookmarks Menu' showing. The arrow on the bar drops down 5 recent folders to which pages have been saved, but the pop down arrow to the right of the bar just opens to show the three categories and 'New Folder' button. What do you set to get whole list of folders in Bookmarks to drop down?

To all, embarrassingly enough, I have discovered that I didn't know how to expand the three categories including 'Bookmarks Menu' in the 'Bookmark This Page' pop up interface. It was expanded by default on the initial Firefox opening and first page bookmark attempt. Next use it only showed categories. I clicked and double clicked the 'Bookmarks Menu' line, but failed to see the small, shaded triangle used to expand/collapse list. If it appears collapsed, just tap triangle at left of line to see all folders. It seems to open the same way after I do it for first time. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for all the attempts to help.

TS1702 I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to rein

I have contacted EA about this and can find no help. I had this Scrabble on my iPad2 and began to have connection problems, it would lock in the "connecting" position. This is not the first time Scrabble has had problems with interface. Typically customers delete the Ap then download it again to reinstall it. During the process you sign in and approve the purchase KNOWING that another window will open saying that you have previously purchased it and that there is no charge. So what happened this time? It will not connect and all of my saved and current games are wiped out. I want my money back, this game interface is pretty junk and operates like some ancient DOS program,,bug,bug,buggy. I want my money back.

Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks? This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

Myself as well...
I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.
Regards.

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible?

Currently I have 10 bookmark folders, but when I try to bookmark a new webpage, I only get the option of 5 of them. Is there anything I can do to make them all visible? I am now having to bookmark it to the "bookmark menu" and then manually moving it to the folder I want cause it is not being displayed.

No there is no arrow besides any of the folders (I do not have any sub-folders); I do have a "choose..." option, but that does not work either in showing all of the folders.
