Safari gerating multiple bookmarks

Safari seems to be generating multiple bookmarks when I search recipes. Is this a problem with Safari or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks, Louise

Doubt if you're doing anything wrong ... but a glitch somewhere.
See if the deleting the Safari cache database helps.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Safari 8 no way to open multiple bookmarks

When using keyboard shortcut cmd + L to get to my bookmarks, there is no way to open multiple bookmarks. I have to open one by one, very ineffective. I want as much screen estate as possible, this of course means I have to enable "View Bookmarks".
System:
OS X 10.10
Safari 8.0

Starman ...
First, I want to thank you for directing me to the Safari 1.0 link. I didn't know about the "http://docs.info.apple" source before. I downloaded Safari and -- lo and behold! -- it installed without a hitch. (By the way, Safari was made available in June '03 - which is just about when I got my iBook. I know it came included when I cracked open the box because until I downloaded Firefox, it was the browser I used to play on the Internet.) However, I will not now take any chances on re-installing the software that came from the factory. There is something very, very ugly going on because it is no longer compatible with my operating system. At least with only the system itself restored, I can get on the Internet and also get mail.
Second, I'm not savvy about computers, so I'm going to assume that what you want is the size of my memory, which is 384MB. The rest of the info about the iBook is the same as my previous post.
Thanks once again.
(It's sleep time for me now, so I'll say hello again to'rrow.)

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.

How Do I Launch Safari with Multiple Tabs Open to Specific Pages?

I'd like a Windows shortcut that opens Safari with multiple tabs open to specific pages. With other browsers (Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.), this is easily done by composing a command line that lists all desired URLs. However, Safari doesn't seem to use the same command line syntax as other browsers. Furthermore, I can't find Safari's command line syntax documented anywhere. From the comments I've seen while researching this question, I suspect this is a neglected area of Safari development, and that Safari simply can't be configured to open multiple pages. However, I'd like to make sure. Can it?
-TC

It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

Is it possible to have multiple bookmarks files or tabs with different content, like Bookmarks 1, Bookmarks 2 etc. inside the same profile?

I guess this is more like a new feature in Firefox. I work at home and would like to separate work related bookmarks in a separate bookmarks file which is as easily available like a standard bookmarks tab. I propose a possibility to add multiple bookmarks tabs in the menu bar. It would be nice if those tabs could be renamed at will...

You can organize them in a few main folders (Home, Work, etc.) to make it easier to distinguish the bookmarks.
You can also export the Bookmarks to an HTML file and make copies of that file with the needed bookmarks. 
You can open such a HTML file in a Firefox tab and middle-click a link to open that link in a new tab.

Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks? This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

Myself as well...
I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.
Regards.

Why can't I enlarge safari bar and bookmarks bar so the print is larger. I can only do this if I change resolution on display. I do not want to make my 27" smaller. Any comments?

After just installing Mountain Lion on mid 2011 iMac 27" I find it does not allow increasing size of font for Safari bar and Bookmarks bar. The print is so small it is difficult to see. I can change resolution of screen but the the size of the screen becomes smaller. Not what I had in mind when I bought this iMac. Is there any fix out there and is Apple working on this problem? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where are Safari 1.x bookmarks, I need to backup bad system in FW Disk Mode

My friend has a PowerBook G4 with a pretty corrupt OS 10.3 on it. I'm praying I'll be able to get it started in FireWire Target Disk Mode so I can backup files, then I'll re-install the OS.
Where would I find Safari 1.x bookmarks? Can I just copy a file to backup the bookmarks and possibly later restore them?
(I'm a tech-y person so feel free to give me complicated instructions, I'll probably understand them)

Hi Jason,
You can find the Bookmarks in the following location.
Home_Folder>Library>Safari Folder>Bookmarks.plist
You can put it on a USB stick or when it is still possible to sent the file in a folder to a e-mail address, for instance your e-mail. Later when everything is working well again you can sent it back to your friend an swap the Bookmarks.plist file with the one that is in the NEW installed system.
Good luck ...

How to get rid of folder icon for multiple bookmarks showing in bookmark toolbar - takes up space

Firefox 4 added a folder icon to any bookmark that had multiple bookmarks. The arrow was enough from previous version - now the number of bookmarks shown across the top - single OR ones that pulled down to show the multiple ones in it - is cut in half. How to you get rid of these stupid little folder icons?!!!!!!! Not only do they have this new icon, but they still have the side arrow.

So, I see that 28 other people have responded that they have this same problem. Isn't SOMEONE associated with FireFox going to address this?

Acrobat Pro 7 Keyboard Shortcut to select multiple bookmarks

I am looking for the keyboard shortcut equivalent of ctrl-left mouse to select multiple bookmarks. Either it can't be done or it is something obscured to my mind.

I'm afraid the exact functionality you're looking for is not available.
With the Edit Selection Tool (aka the G key) activated, you can select the edit points when you marquee drag, rather than selecting the clips themselves. When you select multiple edit points in this manner, it will bring up the Trim Edit window with the highest video layer selected (or, if you've selected only audio, with the lowest audio track selected) but you cannot toggle edit directions for individual tracks.
If you must ripple in different directions, the only method that comes to mind is to activate the Ripple tool, then press Shift and Command while selecting the specific end of the edit point. You can then ripple in different directions using the [ & ] keys (or with Shift for multi-frame ripples).

I have been infected by trove adware, I was able to remove it, but I couldn't get default setting of safari and keeping bookmarks, saved passwords, ..etc

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Trovi," "Conduit," or "SearchProtect" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove these files in the same way:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/searchplugins/MyBrand.xml
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/External Extensions/fjadmdmahkpbhgbmmkiiaanlnlekelmn.json
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla/Extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/[email protected]
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
"SearchProtect" may be distributed along with two other applications: "MacKeeper," which is a scam, and "ZipCloud," which, if not actually a scam, has a dubious reputation. Ask if you need instructions to remove those items.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Can I open multiple bookmarks at a time like on the desktop version of Firefox has Open in All Tabs?

The desktop version of Firefox allows me to open multiple bookmarks at a time when they are all in a particular folder. I cant seem to find a place that allows this in Firefox Beta. Does it even exist and if not please tell me you plan on adding it.

You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

Any way to get favicons in Safari 6.0 bookmarks bar yet?

Lack of favicons in bookmarks bar is the #1 reason (of many) why I don't like using Safari....but as long as Chrome continues to have crash issues with rMBP (and now Flash stopped working in the 22.0.1229.2 dev version), I'm stuck with it for some things. Is there an extension out there that'll enable this and I just haven't been able to find it?

@hpr : I was running the dev version because it provided a LOT more stability with Chrome/Flash (while I waited to receive my "free upgrade to mountain lion" email from apple), and it also addressed the Retina font-rendering issues. Latest official Chrome release was super crashtastic for me -- multiple kernel panics daily. Apparently this is/was An Issue for the new rMBP + Chrome + Flash. Honestly, though, this thing reboots so freaking fast it wasn't even *that* much of an issue.
Finally jumping to Mountain Lion right now...hopefully that'll stabilize things. If not, back to the dev version I go. Chrome has spoiled me - I just can't deal with Safari anymore.
@Justan : Yeaaaaah, I figured that out after I installed it. Ah, well.

New Safari 6.1 Bookmarks is no longer navigate-able

I recently installed the new Safari update. 6.1
With the new update, the Bookmarks tool is no longer User-Friendly.
In previous versions, I was able to highlight multiple links and move them around.
Now, I can only click and drag one link at a time. Otherwise it opens the link I single-click on. I can no longer highlight multiple links.
Any suggestions?

Command-click on individual bookmarks, keeping the key down as you select additional bookmarks, and extend selection with the Shift key.

How can I select more than one bookmark at a time so that I can then open multiple bookmarks -- without the aggravation of going back to the list and selecting and opening each one.

From my dozens of bookmarks, I often would like to open 5 or 6 of them at once -- perhaps a couple of weather reports, a couple of radio stations, a couple of other websites. But I see no way of doing this without laboriously finding a bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, then returning to the bookmarks, finding the second bookmark, selecting it, opening the website, and on and on. Surely there's a way for me to select multiple unrelated bookmarks and open them at the same time. Thanks much for your help. Don

''Actually there is a picture and better explanation in the corresponding History article''
* ''http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox ''
Look where this picture is embedded in the article topic [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items Selecting history items]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/images/Fx3_history_sidebar_selections2.png
Selecting, viewing, and searching the sidebars and library lists is explained in both articles previously mentioned.
Multiple selection is something built-in to a lot of applications and into all browsers, and yes you guessed correctly the favicon it the thing to the left of the bookmark and that is what is is called in all browsers. And if you look at selection you will find that it matches what you asked for, especially if you were to do a search from the search bar on the bookmark or history sidebar. But there is also no problem opening up a single bookmark or history item into a new tab, with either Ctrl+click or Ctrl+Shift+click in the area to the right of the favicon either.
However I would suggest making a change to your configuration options so the the same keyboard shortcut is used from a link and from your bookmarks. See those keyboard shortcuts in the following along with the footnotes just below the table for them in
