Middle-click bookmarks from folders in bookmarks bar to open in tab ?

A quick google search showed a number of posts touting this worked in Safari 3.x on Windows. But I'm finding it doesn't work on the current Safari 4.x. I can middle-click a bookmark on the bookmarks bar to open in a tab, but not if the bookmark is in a folder on the bookmarks bar.

With 50 views in a couple days I have to assume other people have this problem too. Can anyone chime in her with either a me too or a works for me? This works on the Mac version of Safari, so one would think it should work on Windows too. But all my Windows installations exhibit the same behavior.

Delete multiple Bookmarks while keeping Bookmarks Bar and Opening Tabs

Hello.
I want to delete a lot of bookmarks from my Bookmarks Panel, but can only seem to do so one at a time.
I have accumulated hundreds of bookmarks that I don't need. But I want to keep my Bookmarks Bar in which I have a series of folders containing all the Bookmarks I use. I also open Safari in about 11 or so Tabs and I want to keep those too.
Under 'Collections' in my Bookmarks left hand panel I have my Bookmarks Bar and a few other items - History, Bonjour, RSS Feeds etc. I want to keep all of these. But below this group is another very large list of 'Bookmarks'. I'd like to delete all of those bookmarks in one go, or at least in groups of multiple bookmark deletions. But I can't find any way to do so.
Deleting the Bookmarks.plist deletes everything including all my folder-based Bookmarks Bar contents.
Is there any way to select just the extra Bookmarks for deletion?
Thanks.

You did not need to purchase Prariefire for $6.99 to delete multiple bookmarks in Safari. This is a ripoff app for what you can easily do in Safari for free. All you needed to do is select the bookmarks to delete by single tap on your touchpad, or left click on your mouse, and hold down the shift key to select a range of bookmarks to delete; then simply press the "delete" key on your keyboard and the bookmarks will be deleted. If you want to delete various bookmarks not in a single range, simply hold down your command key and select the bookmarks to delete and then press the "delete" key on your kepboard to delete them.

When clicking bookmark, does not open a new tab

Just upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. When I click on one of my bookmarks, it doesn't open a new tab but opens up in what ever tab I was in.

Default behavior is for Firefox to open a bookmark or link in the currently selected tab. There are some tab Add-ons that have an option to automatically open in a new tab.
To open a bookmark or link in a new tab you can do one of the following:
*middle-click the bookmark or link (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
*right-click the bookmark or link and choose "Open in a New Tab"
*Ctrl+left-click the bookmark or link

Double click Bookmarks button to open the Library window directly ("Show All Bookmarks" function)

I have a number of folders in bookmarks, and I edit it frequently by clicking "Show All Bookmarks" and opening a Library.
Previously, after clicking Bookmarks button, "Show All Bookmarks" appeared on top of the list, and now it's at the bottom.
Please, add double click function on Bookmarks button so that it opens Library window directly.

Middle click on search suggestions in Search Bar does not switch to new tab

I use profile option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" = yes (check marked)
Middle clicking on a search suggestion in the Search Bar does open a new tab but Firefox does not switch to it.
This feature used to work for many years until very recently.
Anybody have any ideas?

Did the problem start with the new search bar design in Firefox 34?
If you want to switch back to using the old bar, it's still hidden inside. Here's how you would do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''search''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' preference to switch it from true to false
This doesn't affect the current window, but each new window you open (Ctrl+n) will have the old Search bar.
I'm not sure when that will be phased out...

How to disable "Double Click on Tab Bar to Open New Tab" feature?

Since I upgraded to FF3 I've noticed this very annoying feature with tabs. If you double-click the 2-3 pixel wide bar just beneath tabs, it opens a new empty tab and sets the focus to that new tab (Which means I then have to go close that tab before going back to the tab I originally wanted). I happen to do this a lot by mistake (I go to click on a tab, but haven't clicked high enough, and of course, it doesn't change to the tab, so I unconsciously click again, which activates a new tab). I never open new empty tabs (alt-enter + middle click), and I have tabs to load in the background (i.e. to not *steal* the focus), so everything about this feature serves as an annoyance to me. Is there anyway to disable this "feature" (Either by disabling it, or making the width of the bar 0. I don't care either way)?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF3

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs. 
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button. 
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

Bookmark Toolbar buttons open new tabs - how do I get them to open bookmark in current tab?

I've got the bookmark toolbar with buttons for all my bookmark links. However, when I click on one, it opens the page in a new tab. I would like those bookmark buttons to open in the current tab.

Right-click on the bookmark button. Depending on any add-ins you have, the context menu may offer you a range of options e.g. Open (in existing tab), Open in New Tab, Open in New window, etc
Try the Tab Mix Plus add-in.

No cursor in address bar after opening new tab

Hi,
after installing FF 29.0.1, when I open a new tab the cursor isn't focused on the address bar, or anything else for that matter.
If I run FF in safe mode it works and the focus is on the address bar. If I disable all my extensions manually and start FF in normal mode it doesn't work.
I looked at that thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 already, but that didn't help much.
What can I do to fix this?
Cheers

Thanks for answering.
Just tried it now and unfortunately it didn't help. Disabled both, but still no cursor in the address bar after opening a new tab.
I won't be around my computer for a few days, so it'll take me some time to respond.

How can I get the favorites from my favorites tool bar to open in the main window and not the sidebar?

I created a favorites toolbar. When I click on some of the icons, they open in the main window like I expect. Others open in a sidebar which I do not want and cannot even get to full size. How do I get all of them to open in the main window?

Generally, Bookmarks that open in the Sidebar are from links that you clicked on on web sites to add their Bookmark. To change that, right-click on the Bookmarks, opening in the Sidebar, choose "Properties" and un-check "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".

After the Firefox 6.0.2 update (up from 6.0), Firefox does not open a tab/page anymore when clicking on links in e-mail(have Thunderbird 6.0.2)

Firefox no longer receives clicks on links in e-mail and others. No response at all. When I click on URL links in Windows, I receive "Windows cannot find http://<an address>. Make sure you typed the name correctly ...". When I click on e-mail links in Thunderbird, I do not get an error but nothing happens.

This problem disappeared after a few days by itself but the last significant change in my PC prior to noticing normal Firefox link behaviour was MS Vista update KB2607712 & restart. This may or may not be the solution to the problem.

When clicking an email address on a website FF opens 355 tabs and then freezes.

Upgraded to 3.6.12 on Mac using OSX 10.6.5. Every page I've clicked on an email address gets me 355 tabs trying to open all blank. I even accessed those pages on Safari and it opened Firefox and 355 tabs.
Is it a bug in the OS or FF?

If Firefox tries to reopen all those tabs then you need to remove the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js to prevent Firefox from restoring a previous session.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs. 
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I setup the email where when I click a link it will use the already open email tab.

Before having my computer worked on, I always kept an e-mail tab open. I use the extension sbcglobal.net, I am assuming this is a yahoo extension, but not positive. Anyway, when I would I would click a link from a website to e-mail it would automatically open in the tab I had opened for e-mail. Now it opens in a new window and says mail to:XXXXXXX (whatever the e-mail is) So I have to remove the mail to portion and then use that opened window and close that window when finished. The purpose of having my e-mail open all the time was to use that one tab. Is there a plug in or something to make firefox use sbsglobal. net for my default mail client. I do not use outlook, hate it, I have att.net set as my home page and want all mail to go there, not a new window.

When I click on a icon it pauses and then opens up tabs instead of just opening up the icon? How can I get it to go back to working the way it used to? Thank you!!!

When i click on an icon it holds it down for a long time and then opens up different tabs instead of just opening up the icon

By "tabs", do you mean something like this -
If that is what you see, then you may be right-clicking on the icon instead of left-clicking on it.
Right-clicking or Control-clicking on an icon in the Dock will bring up a menu like that (it is a contextual menu, so its content varies a bit from program to program).
Usually, it is necessary to only click an icon in the Dock once in order to start up the program (if it has been quitted) or make it active (if it has not been quitted).
