Why do we still have an "unsorted bookmarks" folder?

I don't understand why Firefox still has bookmarks going into this unnecessary folder by default. Aren't there complaints about this all the time?

If "some" users are complaining about it why don't you just make it optional? From what I've read here there are many others who have been trying to get rid of it.
This has to be one of the the most unnecessary features you can add. I shudder to think one day firefox will introduce an "unsorted tabs" folder to make something simple more complicated.

  • Why in the world is there an "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder appearing that I can't get rid of. I will pay money to get it gone... forever

    The details are:

    clear enough?

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • Why do I still have all contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud?

    Why do I still have all my contacts in dot mac instead of iCloud? I cannot access my contacts on icloud.com. Me.com contacts are also no longer available and redirect to icloud.com

    Please always post your system when you have a query: the answer to many questions is different depending on system, and this is one of those questions.
    Let me guess: you have Snow Leopard or Leopard (or even Tiger) and when you migrated from MobileMe and were warned that you needed Lion you ignored it.
    You cannot sync contacts to iCloud on anything earlier than Lion. When you migrated your contacts were removed from MobileMe but because you don't have Lion the process could not place them on the iCloud server.
    There is no workaround for this other than downgrading from Lion - not a process you want to undertake lightly. If you have an iPhone you can sync your contacts using iTunes.
    If my guess is wrong, and you do have Lion, that's a whole different can of digital worms.

  • Why does sync introduce about 6000 entries into my Unsorted Bookmarks folder?

    I have between 10,000 and 20,000 bookmarks divided into 7 top level folders and many subfolders on a 64-bit Win7 PC running 32-bit Firefox 17.0. All folders are cleanly arranged under the Bookmarks Toolbar and no entries appear in Unsorted Bookmarks. The bookmark system itself works fine. However, when I sync to a 32-bit Win8 PC running same version of FF, only about half of my top level folders are transferred, plus I end up with about 6000 bookmarks (including many duplicates and subfolders) in the previously empty Unsorted Bookmarks folder on the Win8 PC. My total storage on the FF sync server is only about 6.4MB, well below the limit. I tried resetting sync and starting over several times, but I always get similar results. Is there an upper limit on the number of bookmarks which sync can reliably handle, or some other issue here?

    Hello TEEH,
    I agree it would be useful to directly view what is on the server, but someone from Mozilla must enable that. Probably won't happen. It is very frustrating that we also do not get any indicators as to what is going on in real time.
    Today I used a *.json backup file from my Win7 source to put identical clean bookmark structures on my two PCs (about 11,500 bookmarks on each) and verified the bookmarks worked as expected on both machines. I then closed my FF sync server account, opened a new one, paired the Win8 target to the Win 7 source, and requested that the Win 7 PC copy its bookmarks to the Win8 PC using '''''Options>Sync>Manage Account>Reset Sync...>Replace all other devices with this computer's data'''''. The end result was that all desired folders on the target Win 8 PC were erased and about 5,500 bookmarks were scrambled in its Unsorted Bookmarks! Further attempts at syncing did not correct matters. The Win 7 source remained intact.
    So my '''''guess''''' is that things are messed up on the sync server and garbage gets transferred to the target. Maybe they intentionally give low priority to new accounts with large numbers of bookmarks in order to keep the majority of other customers happy. Could also be a Win7/Win 8 thing, a Version 17.0 bug, or pilot error (unlikely).

  • Why do we still have the starred playlist?

    now that we have the new checkmarks instead of the stars, why do I still have a starred playlist? I cant get rid of it... I just "saved" all of my starred playlists, and now I've essentially got a "legacy" starred playlist and a "new" starred playlist (which is the new checkmark system) please get rid of legacy features, it only complicates software.

    Hello!
    When you click the plus sign, you are adding a song to Your Music.
    When you add a song to Starred, you add the song to the playlist.
    It's similar to liking a video on YouTube.
    Hope this clears things up for you!

  • Safari 5.1 in iMac OS X 10.6.8.Adding Bookmarks to "unsorted Bookmarks" folder puts them in a black hole.  I can't find the "UB" folder.  Where is it? Should I add it to the folder list somewhere on the left pane? OR? Help, please!

    Safari 5.1 in iMac OS X 10.6.8.Adding Bookmarks to "unsorted Bookmarks" folder puts them in a black hole.  I can't find the "UB" folder.  Where is it? Should I add it to the folder list somewhere on the left pane? OR? Help, please!

    It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
    For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
    Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
    If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
    Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
    After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
    If the problem persits, please report back here.

  • Need to delete unsorted bookmarks folder

    FF3 brought us the "unsorted bookmarks" and associated star in the bar fail. I got rid of the start using userchrome.css file. I need to DELETE the "unsorted bookmarks" folder permanently and forever. If this cannot be done it should be added to FF4 ASAP. When xmarks syncs with ie8 etc this stupid "unsorted bookmarks" folder keeps replicating and I NEVER use it!!!!!!!

    I have the same problem.
    I would like to completely eliminate the 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder in all instances and cases.
    I would also like for my "bookmarks menu" folder to be my default folder when I double-click the yellow star.
    gareasy's solution removes the folder from the bookmarks menu only, and does not effect the default folder that bookmarks are saved into.
    cor-el's solution had no effect at all.
    I know there is some genius out there that has a solution.
    Heeeeeeelp!
    (I see many people have this same problem too.)
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why do I still have 9006 error while trying to install i06 on my New iPad?

    I have tried disabling all accelators on my browser, even adjusting to the lowest level of protection, but I still have this particular error.

    That's what 'transfer' meant?
    I really don't use another Apple ID for music, and I'm keeping the iPhone so I guess I'll be ok then, I can download music on the iPhone now without any problems after I hit Transfer, thank you

  • Why do I still have Pro 8 when I've upgraded to Pro 9?

    Upgraded to Pro 9. Still showing Pro 8 in Applications folder. This is normal? Also, Pro 9 looks identical to pro 8. Zero difference in appearance. Again, normal? Pretty weak upgrade IMHO. Thanks

    Suppose you are working collaboratively with someone that only has Logic 8. If they send you a Logic 8 file to work on and you open it in Logic 9 and save your version and send it back, they won't be able to open the file you sent. If you still have the option of working in Logic 8 that would solve that problem.
    This has been the standard for a while now so that it's not so odd that it would leave the older version on your system. When you installed the upgrade from Logic 8, Logic 7 was left on your system.

  • Bookmarks are either duplicated ort moved to the unsorted bookmarks folder; some are deleted and older deleted ones return.

    I posted before how many bookmarks are deleted, duplicated, etc. ut what I am seeing now is that many are moved to Unsorted Bookmarks, Some are still being deleted, duplicated and ones deleted months ago return (happening less now). How do I prevent Firefox from moving bookmarks to that folder without my "permission and how do I delete automated backups as of the bookmarks (which I believe may be part of the problem). Note this happens after every PC cold start, has also happened while I was looking at it and all of the usual suggestion DO NOT WORK: deleting the "places" file, running that add on that supposed to fix it, etc.: ou can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Why do we still have no pro-grade email app for the mac platform?

    This is a combination of a question and a rant, I suppose. When I first came to the Mac platform back in 2003, I looked to see what the best email clients were and was surprised to find nothing that I thought was really strong. I started with Mail, hated it, switched to Entourage, and then since that time  I've used or demoed about everything I can find. Powermail, Eudora, Mailsmith in years past, and more recently Postbox and Sparrow.  I find all of them sorely lacking and it just keeps begging the question in my mind: why hasn't anyone yet created a truly professional-grade email application? I honestly think there's a huge market for it, and I think a lot of people would be willing to spend $30-50 for an app that got it right.
    Right now, I use Mail with the add-ons MailTags and Mail Act-On, and  I've got my workflows and practices down to a pretty tight level. I am an adherent of inbox zero concepts/GTD and I practice them. Like many of you I get a lot of email, probably 200-300 per day.  There is no application I use on my computer more intensively than email, and yet it's the one app that is probably the most lacking from a development standpoint.
    here are some of the things I'd love to see:
    - support for IMAP, POP3 and Exchange
    - an attractive, Mac-like user interface. Could Mail get any uglier? Why yes, yes it could, we now have Mail in Lion! Holy crap, were they incentivized to make it as dull and unattractive an app as they possibly could? If so, that team must be getting huge bonuses this christmastime.
    - industry compliant tagging
    - robust search functionality. Let me do quick spotlight-based searches, or give me a search dialogue box where I can construct more complex queries.
    - robust smart folder functionality. Mail does ok here, but it could be a lot better.
    - global rules (which Mail has but an app like Postbox doesn't), and then the ability to either have the rules applied automatically to all messages, or to fire a rule "on-demand" with respect to a single selected email (in other words, build in Mail Act-On functionality)
    - integration with social media. Postbox does a nice job with this. Hit their info pane button and you see a nice summary of all the links and possible social media interactions available via that selected email
    - integration with cloud-based file storage, and apps like Evernote, DevonThink, Omnifocus, etc
    - an intuitive, flexible layout that allows me to see my accounts and folder structures the way I want to see them, not the way the app forces me to lay them out.  Mail does a much better job of this than Postbox, for example.
    - integration with industry-standard archival practices. For example, integrate with MailSteward.
    Mail is honestly not that far away, but they've been "not that far away" for the last 8 years I've been using a Mac.  I keep thinking SOMEBODY has to get this right and step up to fill this need, and nobody does. What  I'd really love to see is the OmniGroup (the guys that make fine apps like Omnifocus, Omnigraffle, Omnioutliner, etc...) step up and make "OmniMail". Give me an interface and a user experience I look forward to using, not one I use in spite of the interface. Give me a simple, efficient structure with depth and power under the hood that I can customize and tailor to my workflows.
    if any developers read this, I am begging you: create this product. I've read every email app review I can find, visited a ton of blogs, user forums, etc..., and I think there is a huge demand for this kind of an app. If I did such coding, I would take the project on myself, but I'm just a user, not a developer.
    Hope it happens someday. From my perspective, it's sorely needed.

    I agree completely; email applications on the Mac lag (and I agree with the OP's frustration with responses as well).
    I also have settled on Mail with Mail ActOn and MailTags; this functionality should be incorporated into the OS. I actually like using Outlook in Win 7 better; it's super easy to connect files, contacts, email and other stuff right from one application. And Win 7 has better preview and tagging built in, better than QuickLook. On the server side we desparately need gmail to use tags, but I don't see that happening. I still prefer the labeling scheme it has over Apple's mail, however. But I also find that it confuses many users (labels vs folders).
    There are also other applications that integrate email functionality, like SOHO Organizer, or Contactizer. Good, but not the email holy grail.
    I'd like to see communications built into the Finder or system, which badly needs an overhaul. It hasn't changed much since the 90's and shows it. Communication, whether it be email, tweets, social media posts, sharing, etc, is such an integral function of all work you do on a computer it should be better, um, integrated into all applications. You should be able to send data from any application to others in a variety of formats without having to go into an email application. Sure, you can now do this to a certain extent with either built-in menu items or services, but it's clunky. For example, when you write something you can either "save" and write to disk somewhere, or "export" in a different format, or maybe "email." All of those choices should at least be part of one dialog; it's just as likely you want to email, post, share or tweet what you just wrote, so just  having a "save" dialog is way outmoded.
    So, yeah, somebody get on this.
