Strange arrows on Bookmarks Bar

There are a strange set of arrows on my Bookmarks Bar. Please check this URL: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/cocorocara/MyScreenshot.png
The underlying bookmark has nothing to do with it. Even if I delete the bookmark, the arrows still remain.
I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on Ubuntu 10.10. I haven't installed any new extensions or themes. How can I get rid of these arrows?
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem in firefox 4 on ubuntu 10.10. The arrows appeared after I switched back to the default theme from a theme that was incompatible with firefox 4. I have tried starting in safe mode; the arrows are still there in safe mode.

Strange arrow in icon bar [N72]

I have recently discovered a strange icon in the icon bar (next to bluetooth)
It looks like this:
The / has an arrow shape.
Ik found some other topics were the Outbox and Redirecting calls were mentioned.
I cleared all my messages, (except some files in "my folders" (if i translated it right))
I tried to reset the redirecting options, but all I get back is "Not Allowed".
Does it have any effect on my calls/messages?
How do I solve this?

Strange square box on right side of bookmarks bar

Dear Mozilla Support
The other day a strange long square box appeared on the right side of my bookmarks bar.
The bookmarks bar I refer to starts on the left with the words "most Visited" "Start" etc, etc, with all my bookmark links icons displayed going from left to the right... but ... strangely, one day when I started my computer a strange "long square frame" appeared to the right of my bookmarks bar ,
and then pushed all of my bookmarks over to the left (eliminating most ) and now I have just a few bookmarks on that bar with a double arrow " >> " like this . I have to click on the "double arrow" to see the remainder of my bookmarks. I do not wish to have it this way, I would like this "long square frame" removed , so I will finally have "room" for my bookmarks again. By the way, this frame is "Not clickable" nothing happens when you click it, and it is "NOT A SEARCH BOX" it is just a long square frame taking up space on my bookmarks bar. Can someone help. Thankyou in advance ! Rick

There have been reports that this is caused by the Zoom Page 9.0 extension.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Bookmark Bar - Strange numbers Next to Titles

For some reason in my bookmark bar there are numbers in parenthesis next to the titles. For example I see "News (260)" where before it was just "News". They seem to come and go. I have gone in and tried to rename. But after I do the number is still there in parens next to the title. Not a major annoyance but I'd like to rid of them. Any thoughts? Suggestions on how to get rid of it.

Hi,
The number by the side is an indication of how many unread RSS news articles you have in that folder.
Do you have any RSS feeds present in the News folder? They will have an icon that looks like a newspaper.

How do I drag a link to the bookmarks bar?

This started with a simple attempt to install an app that will let me see page source at sites I'm looking at (I'm doing web development and learning to customize for iphone). When I went to a site to get me started, it said all I had to do was drag thhis link ("this link" was hyperlinked text) to the bookmarks bar. I tried touching the link and dragging it to bookmarks bar but that just moved the whole page. I tried holding my finger on the link until it showed a gray background and dragging to the book marks bar. Same problem. I googled dragging links and found some sites that talked about using a + symbol in the bookmarks bar. I don't see one. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the bookmarks bar has a left arrow, right arrow, box with an arrow pointing out of it, open book symbol and double page symbol. So I looked for another way to add this ability to view source, and found a page where I guy had developed a little JavaScript that needed to be added to my iPhone. He suggested I email it to my iPhone, then copy and paste it to a specific location. So I googled how to copy and paste on an iPhone. Guess what? Found another page where I was instructed to drag "this link" to the bookmarks bar to give me the ability to cut and paste. I tried all kinds of finger tricks in the email, trying to copy the JavaSCript and finally gave up in complete aggravation. These should be baby steps and I can't make any of them work.
On top of everything else, I can't even get iSafari to have a simple home page. What's up with that /#X%&*\# ?
Very, very frustrated. On a desktop PC I'm very good with all kinds of software and system tools and tweaks. On my groovy new iPhone, I feel like a dope. What happened to the intuitive interface of Apple products? Help?

Yes, I'm familiar with the old RTFM rule, but I tried four different times to retrieve that manual form the Apple site. Each time got an error message that something was wrong, that they were working on it, and to please come back later. On the fifth try last night, I got through and successfully downloaded the user guide. Woo hoo!

I want to make the adress bar smaller so that my bookmark bar can show more than three icons when placed on the same row.

I want to have about five to ten bookmark icons in the same row as the search and address bar. So i use Customize... and I put the bookmark bar on the same line. I leave the "Name"-textbox in every bookmark blank so that only the icons appear.
However, only two icons appear and the rest are displayed in a drop down menu from an arrow you click.
I don't need the address bar to take 70% of the screen. I don't want the bookmark bar to use an extra row. I just want to have five to ten bookmark icons next to my address and search bar. Is this possible?

When I change the position of the bookmarks button it always jumps to the same position (in the bookmarks bar). How can I make it stay where I want it to?

When I try to change to position of the symbol for the bookmarks it doesn't matter where I put it, always when I click on "Finish" the button jumps back in the middle of the bookmarks bar, right of the bookmarks and left of two addons (FoxyTunes and Forecastfox).

Sorry, that specific Bookmarks button ''(with the drop-marker down arrow or '''bookmarks''' word)'' is tied to the Bookmarks Toolbar when it is shown, and only appears when the Menu bar is hidden and the Firefox button is showing. It is not a "regular" toolbar button.
There is the original Bookmarks button, in the Customize Palette, which toggles the Bookmarks Sidebar view. It will stay where you put it on the Toolbars.

Bookmarks bar in iPad Safari

In iMac Safari, I have a nice thin grey line of defaulted Apple, etd. links. Kinda nice, but I would prefer to use the precious real estate for other things.
In iPad, the support links suggest turning it on in Settings, Safari, General, and 'Always show Bookmarks Bar'.. Well it is on. Still no bookmarks bar.
I was able to bang around and get a folder added to Bookmarks. I have only a couple Apple site links in there, but don't yet see a way to add links. I will.
The folder is now displayed up there now taking up more precious real estate on this miniature screen. Tapping on it gives me the 2 Apple sites,
I would rather just have a single line of 8 or so really favorite sites lined up there like shown in the posts provided by others here.
Please, Can anyone tell me how to just have the line there without folders?
Thanx,,, Bill

If you turned on the Always Show Bookmarks Bar - you have to add the bookmarks to that particular folder in the Safari Bookmarks as well.
In Safari - go to the web site that you want to add to the Bookmarks Bar. Tap the Arrow icon next to the url field. Select - Add Bookmark. Then select Bookmarks Bar from the next window.
If you dont see the Bookmarks Bar folder as a selection - tap the bottom folder that shows in that window - and then all of the other bookmarks folder should appear. Select bookmarks bar from there - then tap save.

Making Folders on Bookmarks Bar?

We noticed that some of the bookmarks on our Safari 2.0.1 bookmarks bar have a little 'down arrow' next to them. If you click on it you'll see more than one thing listed under that bookmark, essentially making the bookmark act like a folder.
How do you make one of these?
We've tried right clicking on a bookmark and dragging something to an existing bookmark, but no joy.

MyMac8MyPC, from the Bookmarks menu, select Show All Bookmarks. Then from the Collections sidebar on the left, select Bootmarks Bar. Then click the "+" below the blue and white striped window to the right. This will create an untitled folder which you can name and then select Hide All Bookmarks. The newly named folder should show up in the Bookmarks Bar. When you go to a site that you want to add to the new folder in the Bookmarks Bar, select Add Bookmark and then select the new folder from the list in Bookmarks Bar.

Bookmarks bar laggy

Hey,
does anyone else experience an VERY laggy and long loading "bookmark bar"-scrolldown menu, when you hit the double-arrow one the right side?
When I click the "book"-symbol on the left and browse my bookmarked sites (about 1.5k atm) everything works flawlessly.
Is that a bug? or how can I fix this?
greets,
MT

Hi MT,
Which Mac OS X are you running and which version of Safari? Details please!
It certainly can be a "cache" thing. Launch Safari, from the Menu Bar, select Safari/Empty Cache.
If you don't have one, there are several good disk utilities can do maintenance for you, emptying caches is one.
Onyx, is free and available here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/20070&vid=476445&mode=info
MacJanitor is good also: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10491

Bookmarks bar "hanging" problem?

I have folders on my bookmarks bar with bookmarks in the folders. When I click on the folders (or the down arrow next to the folder), I get no response at least 50% of the time - the folder does'nt drop down and display it's list of bookmarks. If I move the pointer down into the browser window, and randomly click there, and then go back up to the folder and click, it usually will then work. Another words, the folders on my bookmarks bar are "hanging" quite often. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a known fix for it?
iBook 1.4 14" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hello,
I have folders at several levels, and everything works fine. Perhaps you reinstall the bookmarks, or even safari?

How can I drag to the bookmarks bar?

How can I drag to the bookmarks bar with iPad?

You can't - Safari on the iPad can't be personalised in that way, all you can do is add bookmarks via the icon of the square with the arrow coming out of it
