Webpages are automatically being bookmarked in my bookmarked list

Every day I have new bookmarks that have been automatically placed in my bookmarked list. How do I stop that. Than You.

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Passwords after storing are automatically being cleared when i start firefox the very next time

when firefox asks me whether to save passwords i always click remember because i don't like to enter the passwords again and again and i only use this computer.
recently, the stored passwords are being cleared when i start firefox.
and firefox asks whether to save passwords again and again.
i have tried the solutions: there are no exceptions, no private browsing and passwords are cleared after shutdown option is not selected. is there a solution for this????

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Explicit lyrics are automatically being censored...

I'm trying to import the 8 mile soundtrack cd, which has alot of profanity, and when i listen to the songs in my playlist, they seem to have been automatically censored. I'm not offended by swearing and I find it ruins the songs when lyrics are cut out. What can i do?

alright i made a mistake. i was importing my gfs copy, which is a censored version! oops... now where is my copy?

Events are automatically being split

When importing a set of photos, iphoto is splitting up my photos and placing my set into two events. To be clear, I want the chosen imported photos to go into one event, but iphoto is splitting them up. What am I doing wrong??
Also, should I reunite the split photos into one event as I have seen that there are issues in moving photos in iphoto. Please advise, and many thanks in advance...
Message was edited by: j sanchez

If those photos are coming from a digital camera they will be split into multiple events as determined by what you choose in iPhoto's General preference pane.
However, if the photos are in a folder and are imported from the Finder by dragging that folder into iPhoto's window they will all remain in the same event, regardless of what the time frame is set. The resulting event will also have the same title as the folder.

All my videos are automatically being saved in iMovie but not in Videos.

I had a real fiasco with a movie rental on my iPad, and ever since it automatically deleted the rental, my iPad wont save any of the video I take in the Videos app. All video automatically goes to iMovie now. Do I need to mention how annoying this is? There's no setting to change where videos automatically go to apparently. This is a bug in the system..

DOH! Thanks Johnathan, this is my first iPad, though I can't even recall how many Apple computers I've had. I've never used an Apple product for taking photos and video before. I always used a camera before, but I'm planning on getting a new Canon DSLR to pair up with the iPad.
OK, so now how can I set it so my videos don't automatically load into iMovie, or is that just not possible?

Tracks being played are automatically being added to library!!!

Is there any way to stop a track being played from being added to the library?

There's no way I know of to stop iTunes adding the song but if you right click on the file and choose Open With and then QuickTime you can listen to it without using iTunes.

Pre-sets are are automatically being imported into Lightroom 1.4

Have a Mac 10.5.4
As yet not removed Lightroom 1.4. from computer ( also have a compressed zip copy)
On importing new pre-sets into Lightroom 2.
Lightroom 1.4 automatically imports them - even if I have Lightroom 2 open.
How to I get around this?
thank you
Sue

Both Lr 1 and Lr 2 use the same default location for presets.
If you want separate preset locations then choose the "Store presets with catalog" setting in the Presets tab of your Preferences settings.

Movies I purchase from wish list are not being removed from the wish list

All the pages I visit are being bookmarked under Unsorted bookmarks. This is a breach of privacy since anyone can check my browsing history. How do I stop this? I have turned off Browsing History.

Firefox doesn't bookmark pages automatically to the Unsorted folder unless you click the star on the location bar.

Using Firefox8 in Ubuntu - Webpages that I bookmark are never saved in the Bookmark list.

I've been using Firefox on Windows for years without any trouble. Now on Ubuntu and using Firefox. I was able to save two urls to the Bookmark list but now find that any url that I want to bookmark does not get bookmarked or listed in the Bookmark category. I have tried various methods, but to no avail.

Did you recently update your system hardware, such as replacing a hard drive and restoring data from a read-only device (CD-ROM) that would result in read-only files that can't be updated. That and additional problems are mentioned in
Bookmarks not saved | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help
:https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Bookmarks%20not%20saved

How do I automatically create bookmarks in adobe using the Scanjet pro 3000 s2?

Does the file you are writing have a timestamp in it? If so you could read the timestamp from the last time it was written and see if the day has changed, handling the name of the file appropriately. The easiest way to record the timestamp is probably to write the timestamp as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 12:00 am on Firday January 1st 1904 in UT. The "Get Date/Time in Seconds" function will give you this value.

I lost my bookmark list where the dropdown doesnt work. Same goes for the webpage address tab where it just does not save. When I try to bookmark a new page after clicking "Bookmark this page", there was no response too. Can someone please help me???

It was still functioning last night and before I close the firefox window, the problem started. The problem persist until now.
1. Bookmark - tried to check the "help" list for lost bookmark but none of them seems to suit the problem i'm facing. The menu tab is there, but when i click on "Bookmarks", my previous bookmark list is not there. When I try to bookmark a new page, there is no window popping up (usually there is a small window pop-up to ask for the label of the website to be bookmarked).
2. The website address tab - usually we have a list of website that we usually visit so we just need to click on the arrow and click on the webpage that we want to visit. But now, I have to type the website address every single time. There is no drop down when i click on the arrow.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with it and please help me to solve this problem. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

Where are all my bookmarks - what have you done with Mozilla? you have screwed up my computer!

Everything I had on my tool bar, and all the sites listed in my Bookmarks are GONE!!!
What have you done with those sites? They were very important to me - I can not handle all these changes by Mozilla - None of these changes are of any use to me. I want to go back to my original screen and when I logged on today you would not let me access my internet and original screen without entering info that changed everything on my computer window!!! Help me find those BOOKMARKS
Mozilla Firefox is not user friendly - I don't want all these apps - EBay, Weather or YouTube! I had the necessary sites listed that are important and used everyday - not those listed. Who are you to determine what "apps" I should be using???
edit: email address edited out but it is likely too late for search bots grabbing it.

I'm desperate to get back my Bookmarks in the same unsorted way and easily accessible as I had previously - at the moment they are hidden away in some sort of zipped form I am unable to access: they were previously listed in the ideal way for me to access - as chronologically bookmarked and disparate. It really is infuriating to have this level of interference with my personal affairs on my computer without even seeking my consent. Ideally I want a return to the earlier version of Firefox which worked perfectly well for me - I'm plagued with excessive slowness and freezing since the latest -Firefox 5.0- update was installed. Is there any simple way to revert back to the earlier version of Firefox?

Webpages are automatically being bookmarked in my bookmarked list
