Whenever I save a bookmark, instead of linking to the page I wanted, it links it to a random url in my history.

Every time I try and save a bookmark, the bookmark I just saved sends me to a random URL from my history instead of the tab I saved it from.

It could be a problem with your places.sqlite file, refer to the links below for troubleshooting.

  • Ios Safari. How do I save new bookmark in new folder AT THE SAME TIME??

    I'm dumbfounded.
    I'm on ios7 using an iphone, on Safari...
    and I find a page I want to bookmark.
    So I click the "share" button, click "Bookmark" to add it. Fine. Then I get options to choose a folder to store it in. Yay!
    But nay! There is no option to save it in a brand NEW folder that doesn't already exist!
    Do I REALLY have to cancel, click the bookmarks menu, click edit, click new folder, create a new folder... then go back to the share button, and save the bookmark in the new folder??
    I can't be bothered to count the number of steps I have to take to do this but, it seems like TOO MANY!!
    Am I being dumb? Is there an easier way?
    Am I the only one who finds this infuriatingly inefficient?

    To emphasise my point: To do this it appears that I actually have to:
    1. click Cancel (upon realising I'm an idiot for thinking it could be so simple)
    2. click the bookmarks menu,
    3. click Edit,
    4. click New Folder,
    5. type the name of new folder,
    6. click Done.
    7. click Done again.
    8. err... So "done" doesn't mean done apparently, so click Done YET AGAIN
    9. then click the share button
    10. click Bookmark
    11. click Location
    12. choose the folder
    13. click Save
    Who is designing all this software? And how did they get the job?

  • After userA check out a page, edit the page and save, Sharepoint prompt userA have checked out the page

    In one of site collection at our SP2013 farm, we have "SharePoint Server Publishing" site feature and "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature activated.
    One of user (UserA) create a page in a page library. The new page is marked as "checked out by UserA". It is fine.
    Then UserA open the page -> edit page -> key in something and "save". Then the page prompt him "The file Pages/subfolder/test001.aspx has been modified by i:0#.w|test\userA on 8Aug2014 xx:xx:xx" and ask him to choose "Leave
    this page" or "say at this page".  The date time is exactly the time he was editing the page.
    Whatever he choose will save the page and return to "View" mode (non-edit mode).
    It is not the only problem. When userA want to edit the same page again and save, it prompt him that "The page could not be saved because your changes conflict with recent changes made by another user. If you continue, your changes will be lost."!
    When userA choose continue or "check out". Follow screen show up:
    What can we do? In summary, userA cannot edit a page because userA have checked out! We have tried for different users have exactly same issue.

    We are having the same problem, the one thing we have found is if we use the Save Icon on the top right hand side of the page in the ribbon (next to follow), that Save works just fine.  What is causing the issue is when trying to use the Save Icon on
    the left hand side of the ribbon that has the dropdown options to 'Save', 'Save and Keep Editing' or 'Stop Editing'.  It doesn't matter if you just click on the main Icon or choose any of the dropdown options, they all cause issues with the pages.  
    Thoughts?

  • When visiting certain sites, if I click on a featured link, I get the message: "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically directing to another page", How do I disable this so I am able to get to the page I want?

    In this particular case, I was on a page that offered group discounts ("deals") that can be purchased for a limited time. To make the purchase, I needed to click onto the link with the name of the deal being offered. However, upon clicking on that link, I received the message from Firefox that it was preventing the page from automatically directing to another page i.e. the page that would have allowed me to make my purchase. Please answer quickly since the deal I want to purchase expires in three hours!

  • On my new computer my Bookmarks list no longer highlights the page I am viewing online, soI can no longer see exactly which site I am viewing.

    On my new computer the Bookmarks list no longer 'highlights' the website that I have clicked on and am viewing online. Therefore, I can no longer see exactly which site (location/name) I am viewing because I have quite a number of bookmarks. It wastes time to go to several bookmarked sites in search of the site I am currently visiting.
    Bottom line: I want the Bookmarks list to highlight the site I am currently visiting as it did on my previous computers (all Dell). Is there a setting to make this happen?
    Please help! Thank you.
    Joancmb

    It actually does highlight but in colour which is barely distinguishable so it appears that no highlighting is on.

  • I click on a link and It won't automatically load the page; I want to change this setting. HOW??

    Hi,
    When I ope my mail in gmail. I click on a link to open a new tab and show me what ever it is I've just clicked on....Firefox won't just load the page like it did before I upgraded to this latest version. It says: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. and asks me to allow. I allow.
    How can I tell firefox that if I have clicked on a link, I want to view it. That seems intuitive enough. I don't want to allow every time. I do this all day~
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    See:
    *Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Whenever I add a new bookmark into Safari, it disappear the next time I launch it.

    I am now using Mavericks. However, whenever I save a bookmark in Safari, it does not appear in Safari (the bar above the page). I have reinstalled OS X but it's not helpful. How can I solve this?

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • Open new tab from any webpage, click any link on new tab, waits till the page is loaded and try to go back one page on new tab (arrow is disabled).

    It happens whenever I open new tab from any wabpage. Once the tab is opened and initial webpage is loaded I may use any link to jump on another, second webpage in same tab. However, if I want to go back on initial webpage I can't do it cause that option (arrow) is disabled. I could use link on second webpage to jump on third, and only at that moment go back option becomes available again. However, I could not ever go back on initial webpage any more. As initial webpage has never existed.
    It happens quite often (95%).

    Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to from the list.
    If the list is too long to display via the Back button, hit CTRL+H, change the view to "Last Visited" and then load it from there instead.

  • I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open. I would select it again but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google on most visited list.

    After updating AVG anti-virus, I encountered a problem on Firefox. I would select a link from the drop down on the address bar but the page would not open after clicking on it. I would select it again, even double click, but the page does not open. I could only reach website by selecting google or yahoo from my dropdown on the most visited list and then click the website that I want to visit. I would like to do this in one step by just selecting a link from my history on the address bar and select a link instead of going to google and then writing the page I want to visit. What could be the problem? When going to the address bar to select a link to open, why does the site not open? Any help would be appreciated.

  • How can I get Firefox to open the page of a link I've clicked on in an email?

    Every time I click on a link, in an email (or in Facebook), unless a Firefox page is already open, I usually get my home page first. Then I have to go back to the email window to access the link again to get the page I wanted from the link. Is there a workaround?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure... maybe some months ago?

    That is this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

  • Is there a way to flip the pages of a document instead of scrolling?

    I have got my documents into pages but was hoping instead of scrolling from page to page I could somehow change a setting or preference to be able to flip pages like in iBook. Hope someone else has had this concern or request so that I can make this work.

    You can Show Thumbnails (View menu) and click on the page you want or, after you have clicked on a thumbnail to select it, use the down (and up) arrows to move to the next (or previous) page. It will be a direct cut, no effects.
    If you click in a page for any reason, you will have to select the thumbnails again to resume changing pages.

  • 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.

  • Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    Whenever I ask Siri a question it just links me to a website instead of just saying the answer.  The reason I ask Siri is because i am not in a position to look at my phone.  How can I get Siri to just answer my questions??

    I found that the only time Siri will read anything to you is if it finds a Wikipedia article. Siri will let you know it found that, and ask if you want it to be read out loud. Other than that you will hear the "I found this, take a look".
    The only other thing you can do is activate "Speak Screen". It will involve you taking a look at your phone for a moment, selecting what you'd like to look at, but Siri will read the content to you. It's in Settings > General > Accessibility.  Once activated, all you have to do is slide two fingers from the top of the screen and you will have it read to you. I use it all the time because of my astigmatism. It's pretty useful.

  • 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 extensions and themes]]

  • I wasn to save my bookmarks in bookmark tab instead of unsorted bookmarks by default. What to do?

    Currently all my bookmarks are being saved in unsorted bookmarks bu default. I want to save my bookmarks in bookmark tab (as in google chrome) by default. what is to be done?

    One click on the star button adds a bookmark in the unsorted bookmarks, as you say. Clicking the button again, though, will open a panel that lets you edit the bookmark. In this, you can select the bookmarks folder you want to move the new bookmark to.
    If you always want to do that, you can just double-click the button.
