* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you remove an entry then the list is shifted up and a new entry that wasn't shown previously is added to show 10 entries.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
* Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
* Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.
You may have a problem with the places.sqlite file if the history isn't working properly.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

I had a bookmarked site in my most visited folder at the top of the tool bar and today it isn't there. How do I get it back in there?

I don't know how to put a bookmarked page back into my most visited folder on the tool bar under the "back" arrow key. It has been there for days and this morning it was gone!

Click on the Menu bar and go to View . Or, hover over where the Menu bar shiuld be and click on it when it appears. Try quitting and relaunching Finder.

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
What Can I do to correct this?

I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
* font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
* font.size.variable.x-western: 22
This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete this user.js and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

My ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

my ipod touch 4th generation, is stuck on the apple turn-on screen where you turn it on, but all you see is the apple. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The vibrate symbol that appears on screen when turning vibrate on, continually appears on my screen and vibrates all day. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

The vibrate symbol that appears on screen when turning vibrate on, continually appears on my screen and vibrates all day. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

All of my top sites thumbnails in Safari are blank

My thumbnails on the top sites in Safari are blank, but the links works perfectly.
I've followed the suggestion in this thread without any result: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18343208#18343208
Resetting the cache has neither helped. I don't know what to do.
I'm using:
OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Safari 6.0.2
Please see the picture.

Hi This is a bit late for an answer but I've just taken possession of a new MBP and was browsing the forums as I have a few issues too. On this topic my thumbnails werre all blank to start with but as I have used the sites they have slowly returmed until now they are fine. My issue is with Preview. I used to be able to combine PDFs after scanning but now? I'll need to post this question elsewhere methinks.
Hope things work out for you

A link in my Most Visited folder has just disappeared. How can I get it back?

Usually they disappear coz I click "delete this page" or something but for this link, I didn't. I did log into this website at another computer and when I went on it on this computer, I had to re log back in (it remembers my password usually). Maybe that's why? I don't know. It's not a big deal but it's just easier to navigate around through my Most Visited sites.

Do this: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Homescreen.

How can I edit the "Most Visited' pop-up at the top left? Thanks. Craig

The 'Most Visted' pop-up has a small blue icon. Most of the actual sites I visit are not the ones listed in the pop-up, therefore I would like to be able to edit it. Many thanks.

Most Visited is a list that is automatically generated based upon the visit count.<br />
If you do not want to see some sites then you need to remove the history entries from those sites in the History sidebar or the History Manager (Library) to make other sites appear in that list.

Reading List all changed to Top Site after Upgrade to Safari 7.0.5

Safari was upgraded to 7.0.5 a few days ago. Since then, all items on the Reading List, once click on, bring only the Top Sites.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Yes there is.
Run the malware removal tool here > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Then quit and relaunch Safari.

I want all the private browsing sites from Jan 2012 - today. How do I retrieve this?

Please we are worried about our son - we need all the private browsing sites from jan 2012 - today

Firefox doesn't store any data to disk in Private Browsing mode, so if you do not have security software or a router that keep a log of visited websites then you are out of luck.

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

HT4463 My app store will not open at all. It just says "APPLE STORE QUITS UNEXPECTEDLY". How to fix, because I can't download OS 10.8 without it.

It have been to the Apple Store and all they can tell me is to update to Mountian Lion.. which is what I'm trying to do... but they don't have the disc in the stores!! Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Drag & Drop the MAS into the Trash. Then install this combo update and it should install a new MAS for you.

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps
