Ran MS recovery disc & copied bookmarks into Firefox. They are listed under "Favorites" but do not appear on the yahoo homepage under "Bookmarks". How to fix?

I cannot get into my bookmarks. They are in Mozilla Firefox files, listed under "Favorites/uncategorized". Where do I move this file to so that it will appear on my Firefox/yahoo browser homepage under "Bookmarks"?

Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?

I cannot sync my Firefox 18 desktop with iPad or iPhone browsers. I have tried everything suggested on the Web and have tried safe mode as well. When I enter the three-line synch code, I get a sync failure. I have deleted my account and then set up a new account without success. Manage Account does not appear in the options sync tab. How do I manage my account to get the recovery key?
I’ve spent hours on this and am considering using Chrome as my regular browser since I have no trouble syncing Chrome with apps. Help appreciated.

You can only inspect the sync key via manage account if this device is has been setup and is connected to the sync server.
You can find the sync account password and the sync (recovery) key in the password manager on computers where a sync account with a specific e-mail address has been set up.
Look for:
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)
You can look at this version of the about:synckey extension that I have modified to show the sync key in current Firefox versions (desktop and mobile).

The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks.

Hi,
The text "Remove" is not appearing in the remove button of Bookmarks. My problem is the same as mentioned in this question.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1017302
The solutions suggested on the link don't seem to work. How do I resolve this? For me this problem is persisting everyday.
Thanks

You already tested in Firefox's Safe Mode and that did not make any difference?
Can you associate this problem with any software changes, such as upgrading from Firefox 31 to Firefox 32, or updating an add-on, or Windows, etc.?
Have you noticed problems with any other dialogs or menus?
Occasionally a corrupted settings file may cause issues with dialogs. This file also stores toolbar customizations. You can rename the file and customize from scratch.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Any improvement in the Edit Bookmarks dialog?

When I double-click the gold star to bookmark a site and click "Choose", none of my current folders appear in the drop-down under Bookmarks Menu.

Running 3.6.12 on Windows XP in my brand-new HP 6000 Pro, and when I double-click the gold star to bookmark a site, 5 of my 80-odd folders appear in the drop-down under Bookmarks Menu. But then, when I click "Choose", no list of current bookmarks appears, so I have to bookmark every time under "Unsorted", then drag each bookmark to its correct folder. What am I doing wrong? I use Firefox on my other 2 systems, and every folder appears on the drop-down, just like it should.

I don't use Xmarks, so I don't know whether that is a factor here...
If you use Ctrl+d on a bookmarked page, does the Edit Bookmark dialog appear?
Firefox doesn't have a convenient way to determine the location of a bookmark. One workaround is to use the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/show-parent-folder/ Show Parent Folder] to add a column in the Library dialog showing the location of a bookmark. Then when you use the search function or Recently Bookmarked query, you should be able to discover the location.
The extension shows just the folder name by default. If that isn't unique enough, you can change a setting for the extension so it shows the full path down to that folder. To set this, open the Add-ons page, Extensions category, and use the Options button for Show Parent Folder.

I spent half the morning and thus farI am trying to get Firefox to open a .pdf file but it not only downloads the file to my desktop but also dozens of zero-killabyte page images.

I spent half the morning and thus far this afternoon working on a Firefox problem and have only managed to screw it up so bad that when I try to access a web page containing a .pdf file it not only downloads the brochure but also dozens (literally dozens!) of zero-killabyte page images to my desktop. I have tried trashing Firefox and downloading fresh versions but I still get the same results. I have tried to find and trash the Foxfire preference pane, thinking that would solve the problem, but haven't been able to locate it.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

When clicking on a link firefox opens to my home page but does not go to the link.

I've disabled all plugins and extensions then reset but still have the problem.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

Can someone help me find a way to import my bookmarks into Firefox 4.0?

I've recently suffered a computer crash. I had everything saved on an external hard drive, and now I'm trying to import the places.sqlite that supposedly holds the bookmarks into Firefox. Firefox refuses to recognize this file. I have seen this question posted many times, but no good answer to it. This is an easy drag and drop task for IE. Why can the same not be said for Firefox?

Unfortunately, yes I did read that article. I tried importing the places.sqlite file from the Library. The places.sqlite file wouldn't even show up so I could select it when I went to import it. I also tried dragging and dropping it into the right place, but the bookmarks wouldn't show when I restarted Firefox. I've wasted hours on this, and I'm pretty frustrated. I don't know what the problem is. I've seen other posts about this same problem, but I haven't seen anyone say why the places.sqlite file refuses to import.

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox with tags?

How do I import Delicious bookmarks into Firefox Bookmarks Organizer so the tags port over? I tried importing but the tags are not coming over.

I recommend Xmarks. For the long-winded reasons why there's nothing better, read below.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/]
# Once installed, run the setup wizard and sign up for a free Xmarks account.
# Once signed up, sync your bookmarks.
# Head over to [http://my.xmarks.com/ my.xmarks.com/] and click the '''Tools''' menu option on the page, then choose '''Import Bookmarks From Del.icio.us...'''
# Enter your del.icio.us login information so Xmarks can import your bookmarks.
# You should see a list of your del.icio.us bookmarks. Click the '''CHECK ALL''' button, then the '''IMPORT CHECKED ITEMS''' button.
# When Xmarks next syncs your bookmarks, you will have all of your del.icio.us bookmarks complete with tags, in a folder named "Imported from Delicious ''date of import''".
# If you're the untrusting sort, change your del.icio.us account password.
There are two official Delicious extensions at the moment. "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-bookmarks/ Delicious Bookmarks]" which not compatible with Firefox 4.0.x, and "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/delicious-extension/ Delicious Extension]" which is marked as compatible but doesn't actually work.
@u48998 |
Slurp didn't work for me. I got all the prompts like I was supposed to, but clicking the '''Export''' button on the delicious page changed its text to '''Please Wait...''' and it just got stuck like that with no way to continue.
Apart from that, I was rather uneasy about installing an unreviewed extension from an author I've never heard of.
@the-edmeister |
You have that backwards. It's Firefox that does not either import or export tags from or to bookmarks.html. The only way to preserve tags when exporting is to create a json backup; these types of files wipe out all existing bookmarks when imported.

My bookmarks in Firefox 4 are missing

My bookmarks in Firefox 4 are missing. It appears that I have only 1 profile, so I don't believe multiple profiles is the problem. The bookmarks were there yesterday and are now missing. I can't seem to locate them on my hard drive.
I did find some files which I believe are backups (.json files). Should I try to restore or import those? Any help or advice is appreciated.

JSON files need to be '''restored'''.

@Carolyn:
Yes, I did search before but restricted it to the past month, because I had the feeling that it’s worse now since the update to 5.1.10, but I may be wrong.
It seems this is an old and unsolved common problem.
@andy:
“Top Sites” is hot, but I’ve never used that funny dots without any mouse-over text.
After deleting (before starting Safari) it’s restored by a default TopSites.plist, it seems these cookies
- are only reloaded when viewing the Top Sites (?)
- are not among my reappearing cookies, I have never seen such a cookie / cache on my system before (e.g. expedia, orbitz, monster, usatoday, disney, craigslist).
And Top Sites would not explain why the Web Inspector has different infos regarding use of cookies and local storage than Safari’s “Privacy” tab.
After playing with deleting TopSites.plist, without surfing, suddenly I have ”121 cookies or other data” at Safari’s Privacy tab, nearly all are listed as “Cache” or “Cache, Cookies” but the Web Inspector doesn’t show any of them, only my google.co.uk items.
---> Thanks, I’ll send a feedback to Apple.

Hi Ryan,
I managed to find this reference specifically for restoring on Snow Leopard:
If you are using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, start your computer from the installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility.
Now that was copied from this more comprehensive reference:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
You may also find this article helpful:
http://pondini.org/TM/14.html
Finally, I cannot see why Time Machine would leave out your playlists and ratings? Think about it. Why would Time Machine specifically copy everything BUT your playlists and ratings? Ryan, what are your options? I would have to ask you this: Are you certain that you properly did the sync? That is another/different forum altogether: Using iPhone /see subsection on Syncing.
Either way...
Best Regards,
mm
EDIT: For whatever reason I tried three times to edit out one of the redundent adjectives... either different or another which preceeds the word forum, but the advanced editor would (apparently NOT allow me to do so). I hope that it doesn't render without any adjective before the word forum.

Field on manual tabular appears using Firefox but does not appear using IE

Hello,
A field in a manual tabular form appears correctly using Firefox but does not appear or appears in another field when IE is used. Javascript is used to hide certain columns on the tabular form. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks pany

Prabodh,
The select for the report and the javascript that is used to hide the columns are displayed below. The data for Apex_item.select_list_from_lov(12,null,'LOV_METHOD_OF_ACQ') is shown in the previous column, Date Acquired, and the column for Method Acquired is blank. It appears correctly in Firefox. Please let me know if this is sufficient.
Thanks,
pany
