When I click on a folder in the bookmarks toolbar, it often won't open

Staring with Firefox version 4 and higher, I've been experiencing a strange problem with my bookmarks toolbar. If I try to open a folder from the toolbar while a site is loading, the bookmarks inside of the folder will not appear. As a workaround, I have to move my mouse to another folder and open it. Once I do that, I can go back and open the folder I wanted to open in the first place. For that matter, this seems to also happen with buttons on the main toolbar (but only when a page is in the midst of loading). Have you ever heard of this behavior before and if so, any ideas as to what's causing it?

Perfect! I had googled around found other edits to userchrome.css that didn't quite work for me, but this is just what I needed. Not sure how I missed it. Thanks!

I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6.13 this morning and now, when I click on a link in an email or webpage, it won't open Firefox. How can I get this option restored in Firefox so I don't have to copy and paste the link?

Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

How to make a single item from a folder in the bookmarks toolbar a new tab?

so i reorderd my bookmarks into folders and for quick access have the folders in the bookmarks toolbar. great i thought. but for any reason i can´t get a single bookmark out of such a folder to get a new tab in addition to existing tabs. command clicking the wanted bookmark always replaces the open tab.
it seems so basic but i can´t find a way. searched the web, this forum.
is this by chance not possible?
thanks for any hints

Hi clueblast!
Yes you're right if you would command click it loads into the same tab. The way you can do it is just command T before you select your bookmark so the bookmark will open in the new tab you just created. You probably already know that but that's what I can think of...

When syncing on my Galaxy Note 2 the 'bookmarks toolbar' does not update

I have a laptop, desktop, and Android phone hooked up for syncing. After the initial sync the 'bookmarks toolbar' tab on the galaxy note 2 does not update when these are changed on the laptop or desktop. How do I fix this?

Hmm nothing at https://twitter.com/mozservices or https://services.mozilla.com/ states that however it is having a service disruption according to http://status.mozilla.com/11627/149178/Sync-%5BBasic%5D

When I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar, for example: -Zoom toolbar. The zoom Toolbar appears on the bookmarks toolbar, but it shows the favicons aswell the underlined text. I only want the favicons. How to do this, please help!!

I want to add items to the bookmarks toolbar. for example: the Zoom Toolbar addon. This works, but not only the favicons appear on the bookmarks toolbar, aswell as the underlined text. How to avoid this?
I only want the favicons from an addon to appear on the bookmarks toolbar, not with the underlined text. How to do this?
This problem doesn't happen with any other toolbar. And this problem didn't happen with an earlier version of firefox. Please Help!
Thanx, BassMann.

If you only want the favicons and not the names of the bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, you can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072/ Smart Bookmarks Bar] add-on.

When I click on my apps in itunes nothing happens. They won't open.

I need to use the "find my phone' app in itunes but when I click on it in the apps folder absolutely nothing happens. It's like I'm clicking on a picture. It will highlight but nothing else. What am I doing wrong?

the apps in itunes are you ipod or iphone or ipad apps...those do not work in itunes or your computer. only on your device. if you need to use findmyiphone go to icloud.com and sign in

HT5137 The icon ..eg. Sound hound.and others.. Won't open when pressed. They just flicker with the face page briefly and won't open..don't want too loose sound hound ,as many references there .. Any ideas.

On my iphone3gs..some of icons aren't opening up. Esp sound hound ,I don't want too loose it ,as have lots of references up in there .. Some of others ,like ,weather , stocks are opening.. Any ideas out there please..and thank you..

You can also try backing up your iPhone and restoring the iOS. This will erase everything then you can restore fomr your backup to bring back you apps and all of the associated data. If you decide to do the easier steps of deleting and reinstalling the individual app, you will loose the data contained within that app, unless there is a log in account associated when you set up the app (like connect to facebook, or another internet account).

Backup, then restore iOS, then restore form backup (if you decide to do this)

Cant create bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel

Hi guys
I cannot create any bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar panel. When ever I add a website to the bookmark toolbar panel, it is not displayed in the bookmarks toolbar panel. If I go to bookmarks menu and check under bookmarks toolbar, all the websites are there! I have attached links to the screenshots.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*Firefox menu button > Options
*View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Use Toolbar Layout (Customize) to open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps.

I want to open a folder in a separate window by clicking on it. For some reason when I click on a folder it just replaces the one I was just in. I want them both to be open at the same time without having to go through several steps. Old apple operating systems made it easy to have several folders open at one time.

Eric, thanks that works but seems like an extra added step also to do it that way. I've got to move and organize a ton of files and I'm looking for a easy way to get this done. I could also open the folder into a separate tab and then drag the tab out so it becomes an open window but thats a lot of fussing around also with extra steps. Not sure why these newer operating system seems more confusing and less user friendly than what they used to. In the past I could just click on any folder and it would open in a separate window making it really easy to copy or move files from one place to the other just by simply dragging them from one window to the other. Seems like I'm going through several extra steps now to do a simple task.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

Is there any way to default to the Bookmarks Toolbar when clicking on the Bookmarking star in the Address Bar?

When adding a bookmark by clicking the star in the address bar, the bookmark automatically goes to the Unsorted Bookmarks folder, is there any way it can automatically go to the Bookmarks Toolbar? This is a minor inconvenience.

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
