Opening a site from Bookmark Toolbar in a new tab steals focus eventhough all new tab behaviors are set to not steal focus.

When I open a site from my [Bookmarks Toolbar] (feeds) in a new tab, the site is opened in a new tab and FF switches to it.
I have already unchecked [Options]~>[Tabs]~>["When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately."].
I have also set [browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground] to true.
The bookmarks/feeds open new tabs in the background properly, but opening the site from the bookmark toolbar does not.
Is this a bug? Is there a setting I am missing to fix this?
Example of what is happening now:
{Left Click} [Bookmarks Toolbar]
{Mouseover} [xkcd.com] (expand feed folder)
{Middle Click} [Open "xkcd.com"] (at top of list of feed links)
xkcd.com site now opens in a new tab and FF switches to it.
I want the site to open the in a new tab in the background like the feed links already do with my settings.

Works for me if I middle-click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground is set to true.

Can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking and "open in a new tab". Whan's wrong?

Hi.
After some regular updates I can open a site from bookmarks only by right-clicking on it and "open in a new tab". Have this problem also on my PC and a notebook. (Win 7 & Win 8). Didn't add any new add-ons lately, seems like they all work well.
My Mozilla Firefox is ver 31.0
How this problem can be fixed?
Thank you.

hello, the easiest way to find out if the problem might be caused by an interfering addon is to launch firefox in safe mode once...

Have upgraded to 6.0.2 on my MacBook and get error message "Server Not Found" everytime i use Firefox; however, if i then click on my Gmail or other sites from bookmark toolbar it connects. means an extra step and that never happened before

when i first click on Firefox the URL: www.27yhbnhy6tfgvrbcfre3.com shows up and the error message "Server not Found". but i can connect to any website by just clicking on a bookmark from the toolbar (or typing in a url). this never happened with previous versions of Firefox

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

On Mac when i enter full screen mode, how do I get bookmarks toolbar to show? I only have the address and tab bars showing!

hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How do I completely remove favicons from bookmarks toolbar?

I have added the following code to my userChrome.css file, but favicons pop up again when I download files (documents, photos, etc). How can I get rid of favicons completely, so that they don't reappear after a download?
Thanks!

/* Bookmarks Toolbar - hide favicons/placeholders for sites, but show folder icons for menus */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton:not([type="menu"]) .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none !important;}

Hi KDSXflat, the userChrome-example.css file is not necessary. The correct spelling of the file you want to create or edit is userChrome.css. The location for the file can be discovered as follows:
(WIN) Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button 
(MAC) Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Open in Finder" button
Then look for a chrome folder. If there is no chrome folder, create a folder named chrome and open it. This is the proper location for your userChrome.css file. More info: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css].
Due to changes in the design of the Bookmarks Toolbar, please use the updated style rules instead of the rules for Firefox 3.6. Here are some examples:
(1) cor-el's global rule above
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item:not([container]) .toolbarbutton-icon{
display:none!important;
(2) targeted rules from the linked thread (use just the ones you like):
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul); /* only needed once */
/* Hide icons for FOLDERS */
#PlacesToolbarItems .bookmark-item[type="menu"] .toolbarbutton-icon {
display:none !important
/* Hide icons for SITES */
#PlacesToolbarItems .bookmark-item:not([type="menu"]) .toolbarbutton-icon {
display:none !important
/* Add a bit of spacing */
#PlacesToolbarItems .bookmark-item {
margin-left:3px !important;
There are more ways to slice and dice, but hopefully that will get you started.

I restarted my business Mac, Firefox opened up with the bookmark toolbar of my personal Mac, and I added/subtracted folders;can I get old bookmark toolbar back?

I have two iMacs, each one has a separate set of bookmark folders on the bookmark toolbar. Yesterday, I restarted one iMac to update some software. I noticed this morning that the restarted iMac had the same set of bookmark folders on the bookmark toolbar as the other iMac I run. Since I want and need different bookmarks/folders on each computer, I began deleting unneeded folders from the restarted iMac bookmark toolbar.
When I began using firefox on my other iMac, I noticed that its bookmark toolbar was the same as the one I had deleted folders from. I have tried, but cannot find a way to restore these deleted folders. Is this possible to do?

Hi,
It seems you have sync setup which you should disconnect if you want separate sets of bookmarks.
This article describes a way to get your bookmarks back, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them
If you use time-machine for backups or any other form of backup then use that to restore the bookmarks.
Quit Firefox if it's running. In the Finder, open the Library folder in your home folder (not the Library folder at the top level of your boot volume.) Enter Time Machine and restore the following items:
Library/Application Support/Firefox
Library/Application Support/Mozilla
Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
Relaunch Firefox.
Hope this helps

How can I temporarily move some bookmarks from Bookmarks Toolbar

I've got one folder on Bookmark Toolbar with many bookmarks in it. I don't need it now but don't want to delete it either. The best solution would it be to move this folder with bookmarks to e.g. the MyDocuments folder, which is residing on another partition. When I need it in the future, then I'd like to move this folder back to Bookmark Toolbar. In Internet Explorer such operations are very simple to perform. How can I achieve this goal in Firefox?

The Bookmarks Folder is really one data file in the user profile directory.
The best thing you can do is to export your bookmarks to a HTML file.
Then open that file in a editor to remove what you want.
Open the '''Bookmarks Manager.'''
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar. Then select
'''Bookmarks.''' Hot key is '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)'' <Shift> B.'''
Once the window is open, at the top of the page, press the button labeled
'''Import and Backup.''' Select '''Export Bookmarks To HTML,''' and follow
the prompts and save it to a '''HTML''' file.

Unable to add any site to bookmarks toolbar (it is displayed but empty!)

It is possible to display or hide the Bookmarks Toolbar (Menu/View/Toolbars/Bookmarks Toolbar) - but when displayed it is an empty grey bar. It is not possible to drag favicons from the navigation panel to the toolbar - the 'not allowed icon' (circle with diagonal bar) is displayed.
If the Bookmarks Toolbar is accessed from the Bookmarks Button (Bookmarks/Bookmarks Toolbar) three items are shown - 'Most Visited'; 'Getting Started' and 'Latest Headlines' - so why don't these appear on the enabled toolbar?

Bookmarks disappeared from bookmarks toolbar

All of a sudden (and around the last update, if memory serves, but I'm not entirely sure it exactly coincides with that) my bookmarks toolbar no longer shows any bookmarks. Instead there is a "Bookmarks" button (icon: white star on gray rectangle background) on the left hand side of the bookmarks toolbar. When I click that button, a menu opens in which all my bookmarks are present as usual, including a "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder with the usual bookmarks still in it. In other words, the organization of my bookmarks is unchanged and they're all still there, but the bookmarks toolbar no longer shows the bookmarks in the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder in my bookmarks menu.
Trying to drag bookmarks back onto the bookmarks folder doesn't work either.
Suggestions, anyone?

I've read through this entire thread but none of this is working for me. If I right click (control-click on mac) to customize, there is nothing to drag to the toolbar to re-populate it. I dragged the dark star on the white rectangle but it had no effect. (Not sure what that icon is supposed to do.)
The only way I can see the toolbar bookmarks is to put them in a sidebar, which takes up an inordinate amount of space.

How do i remove a site from my toolbar

You mean from your Favorites Bar in Safari?
Just drag it off and let go or right-click (control-click) then Delete

Recently, when i select a site from bookmarks i get redirected to a ad site, this happens right after opening firefox.

i am using windows 7 and when i ck my processes the plugin-container.exe seems to be active. so when i end that process it seems to help but as time goes by and i have visited my various bank, and utilities sites the redirection stops. but after first opening firefox theres a lot of redirection and pages take time to come up. i have been using firefox for over 3 years first with XP and now with win7 but this is the first time this is happening. the only major things i have changed recently is i got McAfee Internet Security and i am using win media center more.

Hi ujm789,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-your-home-page-or-search troubleshooting section for site redirects]? There is a lot of useful information in there. I think it might be of some use.
Hopefully this helps!

I have the latest Firefox, but I cannot open any sites from the browser. It just hangs. It used to be my favorite browser. Now I can't use it at all.

When I open the browser and ask for a Bookmarked site that I have used in the past, it will not open. The symbol just whirls and whirls. I used to do my freelance work via Firefox, and now I can't even get into the site.

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.
