What happened to the drop down list that said recent bookmarks?

On Firefox to the right side of the page, there is a little star, and when you move your mouse on it, it
will say, bookmark this page. Next to the star is a little icon, that says show your bookmarks.
So, when I use to click on that icon, it would say most recent bookmarks, along with bookmarks toolbar, and unsorted
bookmarks. I would like to know what happened to the icon that said, most recent bookmarks, or recently added bookmarks.
I would appreciate any help in this matter.
Many thanks.
Enjoy your day!

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/restore-default-smart-bookmarks-folders
* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
* If you add a new bookmark or visit a website then a new item is added at the top and the entry at the bottom disappears from that list.
* Items that disappear from the list are not gone, but merely do not show up anymore in that list.
* Actions like copy & paste or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list are done on the original bookmark.

Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
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).

In Ver 4.0, what happened to the drop down selections for previous windows for the current tab?

In the previous versions of Firefox, in any open tab that had multiple windows open, i. e. from a search where you would go to many different windows, there was a drop down selection to the right of the "back/forward" button that would let you select prior windows ... and always the first one. That is no longer there. It was extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can you add it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

What happened to the drop down menu for the back button in Firefox 4?

There used to be an arrow that allowed me to go back a few pages which seems to be missing in Firefox 4. Please bring it back.

You can also get the drop-down list by holding down the left button until the list appears.

Just started using Firefox; problem re log into New Yahoo; i have typed in my ID including several mistakes and i want to get rid of these from the drop down list that appears when i start to enter my ID. 'Clear History' does not seem to deal with this.

OR even better stop the drop down list appearing altogether;

Take a look here:

thank you

What happened to the drop down menu on the navigation bar that showed previous pages visited? It was to the right of the "forward/back" arrows.

To the right of the forward/back arrows there was a drop down arrow that would allow you to see the last several stops you had made after doing a search. This was very handy for going back and forth between articles, etc. '''I used it all the time and want it back. '''If this version of Firefox doesn't have it, please tell me how to download the previous version that did have it. Thanks.

The Back/Forward button drop-down arrow marker was removed from Firefox.
To get the tab history drop-down list, you can:
*right-click the Back/Forward button
*HOLD down the left-click mouse button on the Back/Forward button until the list appears (about 1 second)
*Add back the drop-down marker by installing this Add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/

The drop-down list that appears when typing in the Google search bar doesn't work. Clicking on an item on that list does nothing. This very useful feature is broken.

I just installed FireFox 4. In previous versions typing in the Google search box automatically created a drop-down list of items. One could click on an item on the list and proceed to a Google results page. In FireFox 4, the list appears but clicking on an item on the drop-down menu does nothing. It's broken and it was a very useful feature in previous versions.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

What happened to the drop-down boxes?

the drop-down boxes will appear for an instant then quickly reappear. This happens only with Mozilla Firefox

Click on the back/forward button and hold it, and the drop-down menu appears. I think in 3.6 all you had to do was move the cursor over the button; now you have to click and hold.

Display pages that reacts to different values in the drop down list.

I currently did up a simple drop down list that stores values retrieved from the database. I would like the program to display pages that reacts to the selected value without the press of any button, which means, if I select any value from the drop down list, the page will be displayed according to the value selected.
Below are the codes that I did for the retrieval of data from the database.
<%
        String username = "test";
        String password = "test";
        String thinConn = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbdev:1521:ORCL";
        Connection conn;
        Statement stm;
        ResultSet rs;
        String baseQuery ="SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM STAFF ORDER BY ID ASC";
        try {
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn,username,password);
            stm = conn.createStatement();
            rs = stm.executeQuery(baseQuery);
%>
<strong>Retrieve ID from Database</strong>
    <select size="1" name="dropdown">
    <%
    while (rs.next()) {
        String id = rs.getString("ID");
        out.write("<option value=\"" + id + "\">" + "level " + id + "</option>");
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
    %>
    </select>Would appreciate if someone might offer some help to what I have to do next

Sometimes I find myself wondering why people think they won't get caught with their cross forum cross posting. Then I realize that if they knew about Google they wouldn't have needed to ask the question in the first place.
It's kind of funny in an ironic sort of way.

Create a drop down list that populates based on the selection form another drop down list.

I need to set up a drop down list that is popualated (i.e. displays a certain list of selctions in the drop down list) based on the choise the form user selects in an adjacent List
For example
There are two drop down list field sitting side by side in the form
1. Select State 2. Select Course
What I want to do is have a list of states in the first drop down list (1.Select State) and depending on which state the form user selects , the second drop down list (2.Select Course) will populate with a selction of courses available in that selected state only (i.e. it will on;y show course available in QLD if QLD is selcted).
Is this hard to do?

Hi,
I would recommend some posts from Stefan Cameron's blog:

My area is not on the drop-down list?

just applied for skype number but my area is not on the drop-down list can't get any further until I choose something from the list, what do I do, just pick the nearest area?
Post transferred to create its own new thread (topic);
subject/title edited accordingly.

Hi, ladyfromllan, and welcome to the Community,
Yes, you are correct: you would need to choose a Skype Number nearest where you ultimately wished to have your Skype Number located. Ultimately, the number would be best situated so that those who call it the most would not incur toll charges; however, that said, Skype Numbers are not available absolutely everywhere for several legitimate reasons.
Regards,
Elaine

How to populate the values in the drop down list form the xml file ?

I want to populate the drop down list values from a seperate xml file called ReferenceData. I created this file, which consists of a mapping entry in the form of ( key,value ) pair. Am mapping this xml file in to form by using rule named as getAppReferenceData.
But the values are not getting populated in the form. And I have a doubt of, where should we keep that xml file? (under which path / folder ).

what would help is if you showed what you do in the rule, either the code or a express trace of the rule.
The other thing you need to know is where you want to get the file from. Yes java can read a file from anywhere on the system but there is a security layer in there which might prevent the file being opened. Have you allowed acces to the file via the security policy settings via java.io.FilePermission?

Hi g,
Many features have been lost in Numbers 3. You can send feedback to Apple with Menu > Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback.

What has been lost in Numbers 3 is here (with corrections where Apple has already reinstated some lost features in the Numbers 3.0.1 update):

I enjoy running both versions of Numbers (Numbers 2 and Numbers 3) at the same time. They each have strengths and weaknesses.
Numbers 3 did not replace your Numbers 2 (Numbers '09). Look in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. And enjoy.

In Firefox 4, how do I get back the context menu for the drop down list of the Location Bar so I can Open Link in New Tab, which I did often in FF 3?

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />
