Why do links on the Bookmarks bar open in a side window? I want them to go the site either in a n ew window or tab, not a mini version that appears now!

The link opens in a small side window and the page I had open stays and is about three quarters of the window. So I am viewing two pages at once, when I want to only view the link.

where do I find the short cut...??

    What does the bookmark bar do? How does it work?

    You can use the bookmarks bar in Safari to have links to some sites permanently shown at the top of the screen below the address field and icons - so you just have to tap the link on the bar to go to that site as opposed to tapping the bookmarks icon and finding the link in there. So it's just a slightly quicker way to go some of your more regularly used sites

  • How do I drag a link to the bookmarks bar?

    This started with a simple attempt to install an app that will let me see page source at sites I'm looking at (I'm doing web development and learning to customize for iphone). When I went to a site to get me started, it said all I had to do was drag thhis link ("this link" was hyperlinked text) to the bookmarks bar. I tried touching the link and dragging it to bookmarks bar but that just moved the whole page. I tried holding my finger on the link until it showed a gray background and dragging to the book marks bar. Same problem. I googled dragging links and found some sites that talked about using a + symbol in the bookmarks bar. I don't see one. I have an iPhone 3GS, and the bookmarks bar has a left arrow, right arrow, box with an arrow pointing out of it, open book symbol and double page symbol. So I looked for another way to add this ability to view source, and found a page where I guy had developed a little JavaScript that needed to be added to my iPhone. He suggested I email it to my iPhone, then copy and paste it to a specific location. So I googled how to copy and paste on an iPhone. Guess what? Found another page where I was instructed to drag "this link" to the bookmarks bar to give me the ability to cut and paste. I tried all kinds of finger tricks in the email, trying to copy the JavaSCript and finally gave up in complete aggravation. These should be baby steps and I can't make any of them work.
    On top of everything else, I can't even get iSafari to have a simple home page. What's up with that /#X%&*\# ?
    Very, very frustrated.  On a desktop PC I'm very good with all kinds of software and system tools and tweaks. On my groovy new iPhone, I feel like a dope. What happened to the intuitive interface of Apple products?  Help?

    Yes, I'm familiar with the old RTFM rule, but I tried four different times to retrieve that manual form the Apple site. Each time got an error message that something was wrong, that they were working on it, and to please come back later. On the fifth try last night, I got through and successfully downloaded the user guide.  Woo hoo!

  • In Firefox 4 with IE Tab 1.98.2011.322 Right clicking on a bookmark in the bookmark bar no longer brings up the option to open in an IE Tab.

    In the previous version of Firefox when I right clicked on a bookmark in the bookmark bar the IE Tab options would appear. They no longer do since I have moved to Version 4. It would be great to get this ability back.. Thanks

  • Why can't I add a bookmark to subfolders in the bookmark bar by drag-n-drop?

    Way back in the '90s, there used to be a Mac browser (IE?) that allowed you to drag a URL from the address bar, hover it over a bookmark folder in the bookmark bar, and it would spring open to expose all the subfolders, and allow you to drop the new URL into any of the exposed subfolders. 
    This remains, without a doubt, the most effective, straightforward, simple, and efficient way of filing bookmarks I've ever experienced.  
    Why doesn't Safari use this system?  Or does it, and I just don't know how to enable it?  If it doesn't, how can I suggest this to the Safari team?
    Cheers,
    Lloyd

    Safari 7 looks likely to allow dragging from the address bar to folders in the  sidebar - although no mention of drag/drop onto sub-folders in the bookmarks (favorites) bar. But there is a + button just to the left, which may allow  '1-click' adding to sub-folders, Reading List etc (more here)

  • Opening folders in the bookmarks bar

    Is it possible to make folders in the bookmarks bar to open "like other menus" i.e. when you move your mouse to the next folder the old one closes and the new one opens. Now I have to click the new menufolder twice. The first click closes the old one and the second opens the new one.

    I am running 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.5 on a MBP silver keys) and I am not able to get Safari to save bookmarks to the bar. I have tried a few times now but whenever I quit and reopen Safari the bookmark bar resets to the default. GRRRR

  • Is possible to make the bookmarks bar only appear on the homepage?

    I was just wondering if it was possible, with or without an add-on, if i could make it so that the bookmarks bar only appears on the homepage.

    I have the bar under the adress bar for bookmarks. But i use lots of bookmaks. When i nedd to access them i press the icon you told,and the side bookmaks bar is shown, and is this bookmaks left side bar that i wish to be permanently there.
    What happens is that i open it, choose the bookmark to be open and then it disappears...
    On Safari, differently from Firefox, when i press the icon it shows a complete page instead of the side bookmaks bar only.

  • When I open numbers, my spreadsheet appears blank.  yet, when I moveacrossa row, data appears in the formula bar.  How can I fix it so I can see the sheet?

    When I open numbers, my spreadsheet appears blank.  yet, when I moveacrossa row, data appears in the formula bar.  How can I fix it so I can see the sheet?

    I had the same issue for several days (and several reboots).  During that time I found I could print the spread sheet as a pdf, though I couldn't see it except cell by cell.
    Suddenly the problem disappeared.  I never did know why the problem appeared nor why it disappeared.
    In the interim I ran the disk utility several times and repaired permissions twice.  That may have helped, but I don't know.

  • I am trying to use pinterest on my computer.  i had it installed in the bookmark bar, working fine and now today mysteriously it stopped working.  help!

    i am trying to use pinterest on my computer.  i had it installed, in the bookmark bar, it was working properly, and today it has stopped working.  i have deleted it, and reinstalled, but still the same problem.  please help!

    It looks like that "button" is just a JavaScript with a web link. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache and cookies? Also, confirm that JavaScript is still active; there will be a setting in your brower's preferences; it's in the Security pane in some versions of Safari.
    Regards.

  • Why do random addresses appear in the bookmark bar above my tabs?

    Ever since I got my iPad, safari has added weird sites to the bookmark bar above the address tabs(appears below the address bar when you activate it).  Sites like texans children's hospital, or red palm oil.  Why is it doing this, and how do I regulate it?  Using the newest iPad and most recent update of safari.

  • How do I prevent the bookmarks bar from opening on start-up?

    I already have the bookmarks bar un-checked under options, but it still automatically opens when I first start Firefox? Is there a way to stop this? Thank you.

    Hey Copenhagen,
    Are you talking about the Bookmarks toolbar? The one along the top of the screen? Does the checkmark come bock when you restart Firefox?
    Either way, you should take a look at the [[Preferences are not saved]] Knowledge Base article. It could be that Firefox is having trouble writing to the pref.js file.
    If that doesn't work, you could also try [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=create+a+new+profile&r=2&e=es&as=s#w_creating-a-profile Creating a new profile].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

    I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
    Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

    Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
    Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

  • What is the "Bookmarks Bar" and how do I use it?

    I've been all over my iPad user guide and can find zero information about the "bookmarks bar" except how to make it appear and disappear.  I am now able to make a blank area near the top of the Safari screen appear and disappear - GREAT!!!!  Information as to what this area may contain, how to place and remove items from it, etc is NOWHERE!  If there is anyone out there that uses this feature, please explain what it is and if you find it useful. 
    In windows internet explorer, there is a "favorites bar" near the top of the screen where I can place the icons for my most used favorites.  Instead of opening a favorites menu and scrolling through it to find what I want, I just click the icon that is always present at the top of the internet explorer page - really useful.  I imagine that "bookmarks bar" is a similar feature in Safari but it's completely ignored in the iPad user guide.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Thanks Skydiver,
    This was easy and does exactly what I thought it would do!  What threw me off was the menu that pops up when you go to save a page as a bookmark.  The menu lists 6 choices:  Add bookmark; Add to reading list; Add to home screen; mail link to this page; Tweet; and Print.  Notice there is no choice to "add to bookmarks bar".   You have to select "add bookmark" and then within the next process box you have the option to specify an alternative to bookmark.  When you look for the alternatives, "bookmarks bar" shows up.  Not exactly obvious, is it?
    It's almost like they don't don't want you to use it.  This is absolutely OBTUSE!
    Thanks again, Skydivier!

  • Safari 5.1.4 renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to "BookmarksBar", causing the bookmarks bar to disappear

    After I upgraded to Safari.5.1.4, I noticed that my bookmarks bar was completely gone. I went into Show All Bookmarks, and I noticed under the BOOKMARKS heading on the left, there was a folder called "BookmarksBar" (without the space between Bookmarks and Bar). Thinking I did something wrong, I used drag and drop to move all the folders from "BookmarksBar" to "Bookmarks Bar". Once I did this, the bookmarks bar appeared correctly.
    However, after shutting down Safari and restarting, the bookmarks bar was gone again! I did a Show All Bookmarks, and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder was again renamed "BookmarksBar". It seems now that I can't maintain my bookmarks bar between Safari sessions.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi...
    You mentioned both bookmarks and extensions in your orginal post on this thread >  https://discussions.apple.com/message/17872836#17872836
    The problem is when you start multiple threads for the same issues, we have to go back and check each thread to see what troubleshooting that's been tried that hasn't worked for you. That is time consuming not just for us but for you as well.
