My folders list on FF Bookmarks has expanded to cover the whole screen; folders titles are only one word, so excessive length is not the answer. length is

Two weeks ago I wrote that my bookmarks list had expanded to cover almost the whole screen; this was my mistake. I meant to say that it is the list of my '''folders''' under the FF Bookmarks menu which is now displayed on a much wider screen than they were originally. When opening a folder, the list of bookmarks is correspondingly wide. I have tried shortening the titles of bookmarks, to no avail. My folder tiles are only one word in length.
Navigation of this much wider folders list is also erratic and not smooth, as it was before this change occurred.
Thanks for your help.

I want to thank Grospen for the solution to my problem. I started TB in the safe mode as he suggested and followed his instructions and behold I got the original start page back. I still have to add a few things but because I now know that I can get back to to the factory default settings I won't hesitate to try some of the options that are available. Thanks to all for a job well done.

  • With upgrade to 4.0, my bookmarks toolbar expanded; I want the condensed look back.

    In previous Firefox version, my Bookmarks Toolbar was just the small icon, like the W for Wikipedia, or the ebay's logo. With the upgrade, the icon has expanded to include text. This is not the same problem as the icons/texts of the search bar with the home button. How can I get it to display only the picture reference in the bookmarks toolbar?

    You can also do this with code in userChrome.css
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

  • I had upgraded to firefox 3.0 years ago and lost my firefox 2.0 bookmarks. How do I retrieve them? I keep getting only one bookmark from the html file.

    Years back I had installed Firefox 3.0 (at launch, so not beta) into a separate program folder. After installation, I expected to have my bookmarks saved. Recently I found out my bookmarks were in application data and I found out I had one profile. That meant that my firefox 2.0 bookmarks were replaced.
    I read up on the FAQs and it stated that bookmark backups only save the previous 5 days or so, so I don't think they are usable though I have them saved. The bookmarks.html file in my profile shows only one bookmark after importing it into firefox 3.5 and firefox 2.0 (downgraded back to check it out), google chrome, and internet explorer. I still have the bookmarks.bak and bookmarks.html.bak files as well.
    A little backstory before I got up to this point because it's a bit convoluted because I thought I could retrieve them like IE favorites which were easy:
    1) Switched to Firefox 2.0 from Internet Explorer and got several hundred bookmarks.
    2) Got HyperBookmarks add-on which bugged up and replaced my previous bookmarks folder though it stated in FAQs that my original Firefox 2.0 bookmarks were in a separate folder so I didn't worry about it.
    3) Upgraded to Firefox 3.0 and it replaced all my bookmarks with nothing in bookmarks list. I thought it was saved because I installed Firefox 3.0 in a separate folder.
    4) Retrieved 3.0 Bookmarks and Archived them, but wasn't able to find Firefox 2.0 Bookmarks (original) nor the HyperBK version, except in HyperBk Backups folder.

    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.

  • In windows 7 how to view folders that are only online on onedrive?

    I have uploaded massive amounts of information to onedrive for online storage without syncing.
    How am I able to view those folders on a win7 machine folders system not with the browser?
    I also have a 8.1 tablet that points to the same onedrive account. Tried to create a symbolic link(/J) on that tablet onedrive to point to the actual location where the folders actually are, and later make that symbolic visible on the win7 machine.
    It didn't work. The folder showed on the win7 machine, but empty. On the 8.1 tablet the symbolic folder works as it should though.

    Hi,
    If you want to view the file from OneDrive application instead of browser, do the following:
    For Windows 7, OneDrive is not the built-in application, thus you need download the related applilcation to view your files.
    For more information about how to use the desktop OneDrive and download address, please read this article:
    OneDrive desktop app for Windows: FAQ
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/onedrive/windows-app-faq#1TC=other
    For Windows 8.1, you just sign in the built-in OneDrive app with the account to use it. You don't need  to set any symbolic link.

  • I work a long list. Each line has a link that I click on to work. I then click submit. It does not return to the last line worked. Goes to the begining.

    I go to the Insurance Auto Auction website to access a list of vehicles up for auction. When using "explorer" I can follow the link and set a bid value then click submit. It will return me to the last position on one the list. Firefox will sometimes doe this too but more often than not it brings me back to the top of the list. When I am looking at 300 units this becomes very frustrating.

    Try opening each link in a new Tab, and when you're done with each Tab, close it. The "list" page will be sitting exactly where you left it, ''unless that page did an automatic refresh to add newer information while you were viewing a different tab.''
    Middle-click a link
    or use { Ctrl + click }
    or right-click and use Open Link in New Tab

  • Unique Entities List for Companies that has Ownership

    Hello Everybody,
    Does anyone can help on how to create a Unique List for Companies that has Ownership, it means the same entity owned by 2 different parents?
    If someone had experienced this before, could you please share your knowledge?
    Many thanks in advance, JB

    Hi!
    I did similar task long time ago in script and logic was like this:
    1. make array with owned base entities
    2. make entity loop and check if entity is more than once in the first array then add it to UniqueEntitiesList (before adding check for existence should be done)
    3. then you can use this UniqueEntitiesList anywhere else in your calculations
    maybe there is a way to solve this in a more simple operations

  • How to display newly added bookmarks on top of the list in Unsorted Bookmarks? (not in Bookmark Manager window)

    I have hundreds of bookmarks.The Bookmarks Toolbar is filled.I made a shortcut of the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and placed it in on the Bookmarks Toolbar.Whenever I click the star to add a bookmark, it adds one to the real Unsorted Bookmarks, which add a copy of that bookmarks into the folder named Unsorted Bookmarks which is on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    When I click on the Unsorted Bookmarks(both original and shortcut folder), it displays the oldest bookmarks on top, which honestly makes no sense to me because the user has to scroll a lot to get to the newest bookmarks, which are more likely to be used than the old ones that have been sitting there for a long time.Is there any way to sort the bookmarks by a reversed chronological order and display newly added ones on top of the list ?
    I am aware that you can do this in Bookmarks Manager window(called Library?) but it requires too many steps and it's time consuming and not easy to use in general.I'd rather click on the folder on Bookmarks Toolbar to open my bookmarks, but they show old ones on top.
    Thanks !

    Hmm, you might need to create a "smart folder" for this. You may have noticed some blue folders in your bookmarks such as "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked". These show the results of a query run against your bookmarks or history (Places database) and you can create your own queries with a little elbow grease.
    So one possibility might be to create a custom "Recently Bookmarked" folder that extends beyond the current limit of 10. I gave the steps for creating a 20-item version of this folder in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/934205#answer-358492
    That example searched ''all'' bookmarks and not specifically Unsorted Bookmarks. To create a new "smart folder" for Unsorted Bookmarks, you could try this:
    (1) Select and copy the following places search query:
    place:queryType=1&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&folder=UNFILED_BOOKMARKS&sort=12&excludeQueries=1
    ''(For definitions of those parameters and many more, see: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Places_query_URIs])''
    (2) Expand the Bookmarks Menu (e.g., from the toolbar button or menu bar, or in the sidebar or Library dialog), right-click the first bookmark, and choose New Bookmark
    (3) In the Location field, paste the query (Ctrl+v or right-click > Paste)
    (4) In the Name, enter something like Unsorted Desc (for descending order) or the name of your choice. Then click Add.
    (5) Drag the new bookmark to the desired location on the Bookmarks Toolbar. If you are using the menu, click and drag and hover over Bookmarks Toolbar until it expands. Once it is on the toolbar, you can easily move it again to the desired location. During the first move, Firefox will recognize it as a query-type bookmark so that is why I have you create it on the menu and move it to the toolbar.

  • When organizing my bookmark folders I accidentally dragged one off screen and it disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I was moving folders around and one got dragged off screen. I let go of the mouse and it disappeared. I tried to undo the move but the option was not available. When I go to save a bookmark, the option for the folder is still there, but in the bookmarks section the folder is nowhere to be found.

    What was the icon for?
    A program or a folder?
    For programs look in the Application's folder and simply drag it to the bar and it will make a new "alias" or a short cut to the program in the Applications folder.
    The same thing can be done with folders, but it has to be near the Trash can, so be very careful.
    That bar at the bottom is called a "Dock" and it just holds things you use most often.

  • What must I do to delete an unwanted entry in the "Name" column of the Bookmarks Toolbar list in my Bookmarks Library?

    What must I do to delete an unwanted entry in the "Name" column of the Bookmarks Toolbar list in my Bookmarks Library?
    At the very bottom of the entries in the "Name" column of the Bookmarks Toolbar in my Bookmarks Library, an entry has appeared which looks different and behaves differently than all the other entries.
    And I cannot delete it.
    All of the other entries have either a small icon or an empty square symbol at the left-hand end of its row.
    This bottom entry has nothing at its left-hand end.
    It reads "7/13/14- Profile folder - Thunderbird - MozillaZine Knowledge Base".
    And if I double-click any of the other entries, that action opens its web page.
    If I double-click this bottom entry nothing happens.
    If I right-click this bottom entry, the menu that appears includes a Delete command, but it does not disappear if I try to do that.
    And if I add a new bookmark to my Bookmarks Toolbar, it does not appear in the list which is displayed in Firefox, but it does appear beneath the entry "7/13/14- Profile folder - Thunderbird - MozillaZine Knowledge Base".
    In order to make the new bookmark show up in the list which is displayed in Firefox, I must open the Bookmarks Toolbar in my Bookmarks Library, scroll to the bottom of the Name list, and drag the new bookmark up past the "7/13/14- Profile folder - Thunderbird - MozillaZine Knowledge Base" entry.
    Again, how can I get rid of this unwanted entry?

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

  • All I want is an alphebitical list of my bookmarks and no icons, thumbnails or other "stuff" in my open window

    I get unreadable crap instead of an alphabetical list of options when I open Mozila Firefox. I used to open Google chrome and get at least a list. Now I get a blank page with no way to list all bookmarks which is what I really want.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I tried to get rid of thumbnails

    I want to thank you for this answer. This problem has been bugging me for quite some time. I noticed just now that if I open the Bookmarks menu and go to the center of the line reading: "Bookmark this page" in the white area of the line and I type a letter, let's say the letter "T", then the list jumps to the first folder beginning with the letter "T". That solves my problem. And it will make my searches through my bookmarks a lot easier.
    Wholly cow, I just realized that I can go back to the top of the bookmarks menu from within the bookmarks menu, say at letter "T" (see above), just by pressing Control + Home.
    Yippie........I finally solved a problem that's been bothering me for such a long time. I hope for those of you who are also reading this post that I've helped you too.
    Now go eat a Mango with some LIme Juice, Salt and a hint of Ginger. Enjoy.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • When I try to sync my desktop with my laptop, which has all my bookmarks in Firefox I get the same boxes for setup. No where is there a place to in put my sync key that I have saved when trying to sync on my laptop I think.

    I put all the details in my question. On neither my desktop nor my laptop does a place pop up for my to enter the sync key that I have saved when I was trying to learn about Firefox and clicked on the sync. At the time I just thought it was for my cell phone which does not have access to the internet. Now that I have saved all my bookmarks from yahoo to Firefox on my laptop. I also want them on my desktop and did not want to go thru what I did on my laptop saving them one at a time. I had to do it this way because I could not get them to import or export or whatever. Besides the last time I checked yahoo had their bookmarks locked up because they are working on them. I could not add nor delete anything in yahoo bookmarks. They are in some transition that will not be complete until the 20th of October and this has been going on since around the beginning of September. So I really would like an easy fix to my problem.

    I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.
