When deleting bookmarks from Firefox, why does the program respond differently on similar installs to different computers all running OS X?

On the subject of bookmarks...
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, my iMac, and my Mac mini...
If the bookmark is itself a tab on the toolbar, right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu that appears.
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, but not my iMac or Mac mini...
If the toolbar tab is actually a folder containing bookmarks and possibly more folders, left click on the toolbar tab to open a drop down menu of other bookmarks/folders, highlight the one you want to delete, then right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu.
On the iMac and Mac mini, right clicking on an item in the drop down menu of bookmarks/folders has no effect. It does not produce the additional drop down menu at all.
I can find no place to adjust this as a setting in preferences or anywhere else. Can you tell me why I am seeing a different response from the Firefox program on my MacBook Pro than I get from my other Macs?
All Macs are configured similarly and running OS X 10.6.5. All have Firefox 3.6.13 installed.
I realize there are many other ways to delete bookmarks from Firefox. My question is not about how to delete bookmarks, but rather why am I seeing the differing behavior from Firefox in other installs. It may well prove to be an issue within OS X rather than Firefox.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes" then try to disable this feature.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

    Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?  This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information.  iPhone 4 worked just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

  • CMP Beans from Tables: Why does the Container try to create new tables?

    I'm trying to develop an EJB application using JDeveloper on 9iAS. I have several CMPs and have my tables that I want my CMPs to be based on already defined in my DB schema. I want to use CMP but I don't want the Container to create the tables, rather I want the Container to map my CMP EJBs to the already existing tables.
    The issue is:
    While creating these CMP EJBs in JDeveloper I chose the "New Enterprise Java Bean" EJB creation wizard using the option labeled "Container-managed Entity Beans from Tables". My assumption is that this does what I want, because the wizard prompts for a schema and table you want to map to. Then it creates the attributes & getter/setter methods, PK class, etc. all based on the table defintion automatically. Great. So why when I try to run my application do I get error messages for each EJB such as:
    Auto-creating table: create table STREET_TYPE (PK_STYP_ID NUMBER(8), STREET_TYPE VARCHAR2(20), primary key (PK_STYP_ID, STREET_TYPE))
    Warning: Error creating table: ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
    Huh?? I thought the idea is that the CMP EJB is mapped to the existing table in my schema. Why is the Container trying to create new tables?? Is this possible? Or am I missing something fundamental about how Containers create and manage CMPs? Or is this just a JDevelop container issue? TIA

    I presume you are getting the problem on application
    deploy? This happens when upon initialization of the application using the built-in OC4J container/app server that is part of JDeveloper. Here is the full messaging:

    If so, in the application.xml file of you
    OC4J instance the is a setting autocreate-tables,

    Set it to false as below and that should clear up
    your problem.

  • Why does the program crash when I select Editor?

    Everytime I start up my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and select "Editor", the program stops and it crashes.  I never had this problem before and I'm getting absolutely nowhere with the webpage to find a solution.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I am having the same issue with 8 and am not getting a response either!  Don't you love Adobe's "support"?  Very frustrating!!  Let me know if you hear anything or have any luck and I will do the same.  Good luck!

  • Why does the program panel fail to match magnification of source panel?

    The magnification and resolution settings for both program & source panels are identical. However, the magnification on the program panel is much higher than the source. The rendered video, of course, is produced with the higher magnification thereby blocking out  a substantial % of the desired frame. What can I do to match the magnification of the source panel to the program panel? Thanks for your input in this regard!

    It sounds like your Sequence setting
    does not match your footage.
    Try this:
    Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
    How do I choose the right sequence settings?

  • When using pdfFactory with Firefox, why are the colors on the pdf not correct?

    The colors are vastly different when using pdf Factory with Firefox. When using pdfFactory with IE, they are both the same.

    There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
    However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
    If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
    If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
    If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button.  This brings up the printer driver dialog.  You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic.  In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent.  OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
    The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
    If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

  • Why does the program lightroom 4 beta close itself when am working with an image?

    I was trying the new lightroom 4 beta, and is been crashing everytime I try to work with it...
    I was editing a picture and trying to see with the before and after view, and is been crashing since then, why is that?

    There are some known bugs which invoke this behaviour.
    For me I know that I must avoid the manual lens correction scale slider. If I use that, it will crash.
    If I stay away from that, I have quite long sessions with LR4 beta1.
    Paolo, do you indeed KNOW something about a beta2 not happening, because LR4-final will be the next?
    I have seen this in several threads, but considered it a rumour.
    Remembering the LR3beta-phase I neither knew in advance if the next version would be another beta or the final.
    Personally I would appreciate if this is not set in stone in advance, but gets shaped along with the beta feedback from users.
    Only then you really get the indicators about maturity or further opportunities to design a package people will be willing to pay for an upgrade.

    Does the problem occur at the point that you expect a dialog to open to select files, or during the upload process, etc.?
    You might already have tried these things, but just in case:
    (1) To rule out one of your extensions as the culprit, can you reproduce the problem in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?
    (2) If Firefox lags on multiple sites (not responding, slow scripts), try disabling the protected mode feature of the Flash Player plugin. The following pages provide information on how to disable the feature.
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
    * Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    That takes effect after Flash is completely unloaded; you might need to exit and restart Firefox.

  • Why does the bit debth of my raw file image different in my camera, in Brigde and in when opened in Photoshop?

    I have a Nikon D700 12 megapixel full frame camera which has a 12 – 14 bit depth. I usually shoot images with the Nikon raw file format (NEF) with the color space setting at Adobe RGB (1998). When I select a photo to look at the details of the metadata in Adobe Bridge the bit depth is indicated as 16 and the color as RGB. Opening up the picture in Photoshop displays the long narrow detail line down the near the bottom of the screen. It indicates that the color is 8 bit but still Adobe RGB (1998).
    Can someone please explain these fluctuations? This is still a NEF file I am referring to.
    Thanks.

    With Camera Raw open, you'll need to set the Color Space and Bit Depth is it to open as in Photoshop. See image:
    Edit: Also, a raw file contains raw data - no embedded color profile. At least not that any programs, except Nikon's, will recognize.
