Why is it that when I add a new bookmark, it replaces one of my old ones?

I have a good number of bookmarks in Firefox. I want to add more, but each time I add a new one, it replaces the last bookmark I added with the new one. That old bookmark is then gone from my list.
Also, normally when I hit "bookmark this page," the box that pops up will automatically be populated with the page title I am trying to bookmark...however, now when I try to add a new bookmark, the box is populated with information from the last bookmark I added.
I have version 3.0.7 for Mac. I really don't want to lose my old bookmarks, and I have a lot of windows I keep open now because there are pages I want to bookmark, but can't.
Any advice is appreciated.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.

  • When I add a new bookmark sub-folder, it also changes the name of a different folder to the name of the new sub-folder

    When I add a new bookmarks sub-folder, it also changes the name of another folder to the name of the new sub-folder. For example, I have folders A, B, C - I add a sub-folder to A and call it X - it does that and also changes the name of C to X.

  • Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

    I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

    Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

    Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu"  trbl I had.
    Open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
    Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again.

  • I imported my Favorites from I.E., but when I add a new Bookmark in Firefox, I do not see my folders from I.E.

    I can see my imported Favorites in the Bookmark Menu but when I go to add a new Bookmark I can't put that Bookmark directly into a folder that I imported. Looks like I have to create a new folder every time for each new category.

    Since I installed Firefox 10.0 when I open my bookmarks I get a side window that opens and stays open when I click on a bookmark. I have to go back to the top icon to close the side window. In the past when I would get the drop down bookmark list that would disappear when I clicked on a bookmark. Is there a way to go back to the way it used to be?

    Thanks guys! That took care of it. Appreciate your response.

  • How can I set up bookmarks to automatically alphabetize my booksmarks when I add a new bookmark?

  • Why is it that when i get a new computer i can only re-download previous songs not videos? Eg. Top Gear

    Please help me!

    Apple has various license arrangements with its media vendors. If you can't redownload a specific song or video, it could be because Apple isn't allowed to let you download it more than once; or because Apple no longer carries that specific item in its store.
    This is why it remains important to back up all your media downloads, even with the advent of redownloading from he iTunes Store and the coming features in iCloud and iTunes in the Cloud.

  • Are your bookmarks disappearing when you add a new one in Safari?

    When I add a new bookmark many of the old ones just disappear!
    I have recovered my archived bookmarks from Time Machine but the minute I go to add a new bookmark, many disappear again!
    HELP please!!!!
    Anyone else experiencing this???

    Quit Safari. Disable Safari synchronization in iCloud, if applicable.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar. Copy the following line into the text box that opens, then press return:
    ~/Library/Safari/Bookmarks.plist
    Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the Finder window open. Relaunch Safari. Select File ▹ Import Bookmarks from the Safari menu bar. Import from the bookmarks file you moved to the Desktop. Test. If Safari now performs normally, you can delete the old bookmarks file. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put back the file you moved, replacing the newer one with the same name. Close the Finder window and post again.

    Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

    Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll.  The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures.  Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library.  But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

  • Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

    I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why is it that when i am receiving a call the phone does not respond to my finger touch?

    Why is it that when i am receiving a call the phone does not respond to my finger touch?

    If the photos that you have on your iPad came from a different computer that may be why you are getting that message. If you have photos from a previous sync with iTunes you must make sure that you have those photos selected to sync again.
    In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
    I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

  • Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?

    My family and I recently got iPhones for Christmas. One for my dad, one for my mom, and one for me.  We also have an iPad 2.  They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username.  When we got the phones, we had trouble transferring our contacts from our old verizon phones to our new apple ones but we eventually got the contacts we needed.  At first, my mom's phone was not connected to the iCloud account shared by the rest of us and the iPad.  She wanted the calendar from the iPad so I deleted the account on her phone and added the iCloud account that the iPad was using.  All was fine until my dad and I realized that our contacts were wiped from our phones and replaced with my mom's.  I then started painstakingly deleted my moms contacts and replacing them on my own on my phone.  However, contacts were being deleted from my mom and dad's phone at the same time.  It's almost like the three phones are constantly synching with each other.  It would be ideal if we could get all of our contacts back the way they were before my mom changed her account but we would settle for this constant synching to stop. Please give us some direction here, we are new to this. Thanks in advance!

    Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?
    Because, as you said "They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username. ". That is exactly what iCloud does.
    You need independent iCloud accounts for each person to maintain independent contact lists.
