When select "bookmark this page" for certain sites, window shows that it is all ready in a folder, which I cannot find

There seems to be folders in my bookmark library that I cannot locate, even when looking carefully through "show all bookmarks". When I select "bookmark this page" for one of the "missing" sites, it shows that it is all ready bookmarked in a particular folder. But I cannot find those folders!

Try reformatting it in Disk utility and make sure to erase the raw drive's 500GB and that it is HFS and set to GUID Partition Table.
Might want to bookmark the Lion Community, and also the MacBook Pro forum so when you do post, you are in the right areas.

When selecting "bookmark this page" the location select window right side and bottom are cut off, no visible buttons

After I select "bookmark this page" from the bookmarks menu, and then select "show all the bookmarks folders" with the pulldown arrow, the bookmarks folder list appears but the right side and the bottom are cut off so that no buttons are showing. Trying to resize the window does not work. Double clicking on the desired folder selects the folder name for editing, however, the caption at the top says "bookmark saved" and sometimes it is actually where I would like it to be added.

After finding that I did not have a chrome folder, or userchrome.css file, I installed ChromEdit Plus. Through this app I was able to create a chrome folder and the userchrome.css file using the information from finitarry. The problem still existed. I then edited userchrome.css changing the values to "min-width:800px !important; min-height:800px !important; " The results were; same problem, just bigger. This code changes the folderview pane in the add bookmarks window. The problem is the pane expands larger than the window. Let me see if I can clairify, When you select "bookmark this page" the add bookmark "window" opens. to open the folderview pane, click on the down arrow to the right of the folder pulldown menu. The window is not expanding to contain the pane correctly and pushes all the other controls off the screen.

I can not bookmark any page, nothing happens when I select bookmark this page. My old bookmarks are there and working, but cant add anything new. I have tried the suggestions in the troubleshooting section, and nothing there works. Please help.

I select "bookmarks", I select "bookmark this page" and nothing happens. Doesnt matter if I am in regular mode, or safe mode.

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.
Shaunn

How do I change back to having "bookmark this page" on the top of the list and subordinate "all bookmarks" lower since I use former 100 times more than the later on a daily basis?

I create about 25 -50 new bookmarks daily for my business. So, it would seem user friendly to put that command at the top of the scroll down list. Maybe I am unique and others want to "show all bookmarks" repeatedly. I can't understand why one would need to do that more often than add multiple bookmarks on a daily basis. i look forward to your response,. Respectfully MC

cor-el, as you said, that solution puts the "show all bookmarks" all the way at the bottom. How do you either make "bookmark this page" first without changing the order of the other options or force "show all bookmarks" to be second instead of last, the way the menu was before?

When i try to open a pdf, i am told that i must sing the end users agreement. I cannot find out how.

It tells me when i update the adobe reader that by checking install i am accepting the terms and agreement. However when i try to use the program i am told that i must go to the web site and accept the user agreement . I cannot find out where to do this on the site. Any help?

In your iPhone? I ask because there is a special subforum for the iOS version of Reader.

I can not save a bookmark to a subfolder any longer. when I select "Bookmark this page" the subwindow for where to save the link does not open. It just saves all bookmarks to the end of the bookmark listing.

I am running 3.6.13
The bookmarks toolbar will not open the folders. It just saves the current page at the end of the the bookmarks list.

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.
See:

* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
There are other things that need attention:

Hide login page for certain site

Hello, I have a jsf project which I have implemented with NetBeans. What I want to do is add a login page before my first page is viewed that would have a specific username and password. But the tricky part is that I want the project to be inserted as a link or an iframe into another website, but since this website already has a login page, I want all the users that have logined into this website to be able to view my project directly, without showing the login page. Is that possible and how?

Maybe this can be a solution: in the action associated to the <h:commandLink> in the page of the first website redirecting to your project you can access your backing bean of scope session which contains the authentication data of your user and create the logic with two different navigation rules. Example:
public String goToTheProject(){
//retrieve the bean with scope session
if(myUser.isAuthenticated()){
return "first_page";
else{
return "login";
}

Why is 'Bookmarks' control removed? Please restore 'Bookmark This Page' & ability to easily select its file destination.

All of a sudden, I can no longer add a Bookmark by selecting 'Bookmark This Page', then select its destination file. Now it's a lot more work to move the new Bookmark to the file I've chosen for its destination. Was this option eliminated, or is something now missing from my 'Bookmarks' drop down menu?
If this option was removed, would you please restore it as quickly as possible? This is a strong browser changer.

To make a long story short, I recommend using one of these methods for calling up the "old" dialog in Firefox 29 and 30:
* right-click the page > Bookmark This Page ''(avoid right-clicking a link, form field, or image, as those have special menus)
* Ctrl+d
The longer story is: in the new button, the star icon on the left bookmarks the current page. Like the old star icon that used to sit in the address bar, it simply drops the bookmark into the Unsorted Bookmarks folder. To change the folder, either double-click the star initially, or click it again to call up the Edit Bookmark dialog. This is very similar to the "old" dialog but the default location is Unsorted Bookmarks instead of Bookmarks Menu.
There might be an add-on to change how this works, but I haven't seen one yet.

Bookmark this page opens a different dropdown that does not save - why?

I've just reinstalled Win-XP Pro after a serious crash and had to reinstall Firefox as well. I have just installed the latest version upgrade and now absolutely nothing happens when I select "Bookmark this page" from the Bookmarks dropdown menu.

"bookmark this page" doesn't show all my folders

I want to save a bookmark in one of the folders in my bookmarks. I hit "bookmarks" then "bookmark this page". The dialog box show up with "bookmarks menu" in the folders box. I expand the folders box and it shows only 3 of my folders and a box labeled "choose". I select "choose" and where before I would get a complete list of bookmarks and folders, now none of my bookmarks show up.
This is a new computer and the bookmark list was moved over from my old one.

Do you only see the default three main folders?
You should have an icon to the left of each of them to expand these main folders and see their sub folders.<br />
Note that this icon may be hard to notice.

On my mac it doesn't let me bookmark some sites when i drag the icon over or click on bookmark this page. Is there a fix for this?

When i drag a URL over to my bookmarks or click on bookmark this page (on a Mac BTW) it doesn't let me do it. Not even with the star. Like when i try to bookmark some cell phone forums and gamefaq boards it says "website did not supply identity information" and it doesn't even let me bookmark that page unless i go to a different part of the site. Is there any type of fix for this???

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

When will the "Bookmark this page" selection be returning to the bookmark drop down? No, seriously! We want it back!

The removal of the "Bookmark this page" selection was a huge mistake. None of the answers really solve the issue. Click the star and then click it again so you can edit the bookmark then move it to the folder you want, or install this add-on to manage your bookmarks. The real fix for this issue is simply to put the selection back. People want simple and when they have something that works well they don't want it to change just because the programmer wanted to do it differently. So when will this functionality be returning?

* If you click the ★ Star Icon once, the bookmark ends up in the Unsorted Bookmarks folder.
* If you double-click the ★ Star Icon, you get to pick where to place the bookmark.
* If you right-click (or Ctrl+click on a Mac) an empty area of the web page and choose Bookmark This Page, the bookmark ends up in the Bookmarks Menu folder and you get to pick where to place it.
* If you press Ctrl+D (Mac: Command+D), the bookmark ends up in the Bookmarks Menu folder and you get to pick where to place it.
* You can click and drag the site icon (usually a globe or a padlock) on the left side of the address bar onto either the Bookmarks Toolbar, the Bookmarks Sidebar (Ctrl+B; Mac: Command+B), or the Library (Ctrl+Shift+B; Mac: Command+Shift+B; Linux: Ctrl+Shift+O).
The following add-on makes bookmarking easier in various ways. Among other things, it's able to remember the last used folder.

I see no reason to believe menu items that were deemed clutter will be reintroduced — especially when there are multiple ways to perform the action in question.

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Why can't I add bookmarks to Firefox 3.6.6? Nothing happens when I click "Bookmark This Page".

Just for the record, I was having this problem with older versons of Firefox also. It just happened recently and, with the help of this forum (thanks cor-el) suggesting to open Firefox in safe mode and checking add ons, I found the problem. It was the recent update of Mcafee Site Advisor. If you have Mcafee Site Advisor as an add on, disable it and see if that helps. It worked for me.
To disable this add on,
Go to:
Tools/Add ons/Extensions and click: "disable" for this add on and restart Firefox. Hope it works for you too.
P.S. To uninstall Site Advisor altogether, you must do that through Windows Add/Remove Programs.

What happened to "bookmark this page" selection in the "show your bookmarks" menu on the right?

Now I have to:
1) click again on the stupid blue star to get the menu to place my new bookmark where I choose to instead of have it go to unsorted bookmarks...
OR
2) bring up or have up the menu bar and click on the "bookmarks" menu choice of "bookmark this page" which brings up what I'd call the choice or sort menu that lets me access my bookmarks menu...
...where I wanted to go to create a bookmark AND I get to select "choose", which is what I used to do when adding ANY bookmark.
I want the "bookmark this page" selection back on the "show your bookmarks" list on the right...where it belongs. Why does everyone want to keep hiding the useful tools?
Firefox 29 stinks and I've had nothing but problems from the beginning...and since making the mistake of resetting.
I now have a folder of stuff that I have no clue what to do with as, upon resetting, I got "Oooops this is embarrassing, we're having a problem" or something. Any clues about what to do with all that "junk" (now, to me) might also be helpful.

I was used to being able to select the folder to place my bookmark without going into an edit session. This is as useless now as windows "libraries"

I tell firefox not to remember passwords for certain sites, and it forgets when I exit

I'm running 3.6.9 on Win7. I have chosen the setting of remembering passwords for websites. However, for certain sites I choose "never to remember passwords" and this used to work fine in earlier versions. Now, whenever I exit firefox these sites for which I do NOT want to remember passwords are forgotten about, and every time I visit them after a restart I have to instruct firefox that I don't want to remember passwords there, etc. It's getting awfully tedious. What changed? How do I ensure that my password "exceptions" are remembered between sessions?

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Site Preferences"
Clearing "Site Preferences" in "Clear Recent History" will remove exceptions that are stored in content-prefs.sqlite (site specific settings for zoom) and permissions.sqlite (exceptions for images, cookies, pop-ups, software; Tools > Page Info > Permissions) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder].
The password exceptions (Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: Show Passwords) are also removed from signons.sqlite.
