When deleting bookmarks from Firefox, why does the program respond differently on similar installs to different computers all running OS X?

On the subject of bookmarks...
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, my iMac, and my Mac mini...
If the bookmark is itself a tab on the toolbar, right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu that appears.
The following procedure works for deleting bookmarks on my MacBook Pro, but not my iMac or Mac mini...
If the toolbar tab is actually a folder containing bookmarks and possibly more folders, left click on the toolbar tab to open a drop down menu of other bookmarks/folders, highlight the one you want to delete, then right click on it and select delete by highlighting delete in the drop down menu.
On the iMac and Mac mini, right clicking on an item in the drop down menu of bookmarks/folders has no effect. It does not produce the additional drop down menu at all.
I can find no place to adjust this as a setting in preferences or anywhere else. Can you tell me why I am seeing a different response from the Firefox program on my MacBook Pro than I get from my other Macs?
All Macs are configured similarly and running OS X 10.6.5. All have Firefox 3.6.13 installed.
I realize there are many other ways to delete bookmarks from Firefox. My question is not about how to delete bookmarks, but rather why am I seeing the differing behavior from Firefox in other installs. It may well prove to be an issue within OS X rather than Firefox.

In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes" then try to disable this feature.
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Is it possible to recover deleted bookmarks in Firefox Sync?

I have reinstalled the OS on my computer, wiping the installed OSes together with all instances of Firefox connected to the Firefox Sync.
I installed Firefox on the new OS and set up the Firefox Sync using the Recovery key. However, either because the device name was the same as before (my bad), or it's also possible that I've theoretically possible that I've accidentally selected the option to wipe all data on the server with one in my browser (which is none).
As a result, Firefox Sync reports that my bookmarks now occupy 6.1 KB - i.e. all my bookmarks were deleted.
(Since this is a new OS install, I don't have access to any of the automated bookmark backups.)
Is there a way to go back to an earlier version of server data?

No, there are no backups available - no earlier version of server data.

When I try to sync my desktop with my laptop, which has all my bookmarks in Firefox I get the same boxes for setup. No where is there a place to in put my sync key that I have saved when trying to sync on my laptop I think.

I put all the details in my question. On neither my desktop nor my laptop does a place pop up for my to enter the sync key that I have saved when I was trying to learn about Firefox and clicked on the sync. At the time I just thought it was for my cell phone which does not have access to the internet. Now that I have saved all my bookmarks from yahoo to Firefox on my laptop. I also want them on my desktop and did not want to go thru what I did on my laptop saving them one at a time. I had to do it this way because I could not get them to import or export or whatever. Besides the last time I checked yahoo had their bookmarks locked up because they are working on them. I could not add nor delete anything in yahoo bookmarks. They are in some transition that will not be complete until the 20th of October and this has been going on since around the beginning of September. So I really would like an easy fix to my problem.

I know you can't help with my Yahoo problem, however, apparently at some time in the past I have went to the Sync and tried to figure it out on both my laptop and my desktop, because I have the long snyc key information. However, when I go to try to sync both computers I never get the box to enter that key on either one. That is my problem. So should I try and get a new sync key and see if that works.

How many apple devices can you sync to the same itunes account

I'm trying to sync 2 ipod touches with my itunes account along with my iphone. On one ipod, when I try to sync up it ghosts out my sync apps. I can purchase apps and they appear in my library but can transfer to ipod. Help!

This is a very odd problem, because it should connect to as many as you want. The problem could be a few things so check these and get back to me
see if iTunes is set to sync apps to that iPod
make sure the iPods are sighed into your apple account
make sure your computer is registered to your apple account
if none of these work, give some more information, the more the better when trouble shooting.

How can I keep my bookmarks updated live in Firefox & Chrome on the same PC?

I use both Firefox & Chrome on my notebook. I have a huge number of bookmarks set up & up until now I have to export/import my bookmarks between Firefox & Chrome on the same notebook on a regular basis to ensure that any updates or changes I make when using Chrome or Firefox are updated. This is very time consuming & means that either one or the other (FF or Chr.) are never truly synchronised or up to date.
Is there an easy way to ensure that any changes I make when using FF or Chr. are updated on a "live" or real time basis?
FYI - I do not wish to "sync" this data to any other hardware.

You can use Xmarks to synchronize bookmarks between Firefox and Chrome on the same PC. <br />

Can more than one iPhone sync to the same Calendar and Contacts List?

My partner and I are thinking about buying iPhones, but before we do so I want to make sure that we can both sync to the same Calendar. So, for example, if she makes plans with friends (and updates her iPhone Calendar accordingly) I also want the appointment to be entered into the Calendar of my iPhone when I next sync it. Has anyone done this? Is it possible?

I sync using mobile me - over the air, my wife syncs via itunes, we keep several calendars in ical.
You can look through the manual as well. It may help you figure out what iphone can do.

I have deleted all my bookmarks from firefox sync by error on reintalling operating system. Is there any way to recover it? I have all bookmarks saved on "Firefox Home" on my iPod. Can I extract bookmarks from "Firefox Home" to my computer? Thanks

Restore your backup.

How often syncs Firefox sync with the server were my bookmarks are storaged? Can I turn of the historical sync because one computer is at home and the other is at work. So I use totally different webpages and would like to have the history disabled.

OK, I found the part about history. It is just to unmark that.
But still i wonder how often it sync? Instantly? Or when closing FF?

Can multiple accounts for the same vendor be bookmarked?

I have home and office accounts for certain vendors (utilities, etc) and have tried bookmarking them under "On Line Accounts." However, I am not able to do so. When I enter one for home with, say, dteenergy.com (same problem with others like AT&T), that account works fine. When I try to enter the dteenergy account information for home, that works fine. However, when the second account is entered it replaces the first account.
I have not tried it, but I could try creating a second on line account, and will do so after I finish this inquiry. However, I had hoped to get everything into a single folder on the bookmark bar.
Thank you.

There are many ways of saving a bookmark, most don't permit the same exact page to be saved as a bookmark more than once - that's a feature in Firefox 3+ versions. If you "drag" the web site image ''(known as the Favicon)'' from the Location bar or from a Tab into your bookmarks, you can get around that "feature". You can "drag&drop" the Favicon into the Bookmarks Toolbar (can be tricky at times), or to the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu bar - the drop-down will open, or into the Bookmarks Sidebar (the method I use) - {Ctrl + B} to open the Bookmarks Sidebar

Synced bookmarks with firefox sync missing

hi,
about a month ago i synced my bookmarks via firefox sync from my old macbook to my new macbook and it worked. hurray.
i sold my old macbook and now my bookmarks seem to be missing. because the sync seem to have worked, i didnt bother saving the bookmark list file. now i dont know how to retrieve my bookmarks, any ideas?

hello Cornan, there is no such concept as "private bookamarks" in firefox - you can only exempt bookmarks as a whole from being synced (under ''firefox > options > sync'') if you want to keep different sets of bookmarks on different pcs.
please either use https://input.mozilla.org/feedback for general feedback or if you feel that it's a missing feature in the browser file a bug at bugzilla.mozilla.org.

In my bookmarks menu Firefox stopped displaying the icons to the left of the bookmark how do i fix this?

In my bookmarks menu Firefox stopped displaying the small icons to the left of the website name. These icons make it easier to quickly identify a website, without reading the names. How can I fix this? Not sure what I could have done to cause this, if anything. It happened at home and on a similar computer (Mac) at work.

see : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/910682
but i think in 10.0.x version this is solved (if you want to upgrade http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html )
thank you

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

Thanks

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.

Bookmarks of Firefox Sync lost & Request to restore Firefox Sync data

I'm using "Firefox Sync" to sync the bookmarks between a desktop and a tablet.
On the desktop, the bookmarks include 2 parts:
# all bookmarks by "Firefox Sync" is updated to "Mobile device" folder;
# another part is bookmarks that only add/change by desktop and is unchanged by "Firefox Sync".
Last night, "Mobile device" folder on the desktop lost, but other bookmarks exist. since I haven't used the tablet and synced with the tablet for a month, all new bookmarks in "Mobile device" folder lost and cannot find out from the tablet. The bookmarks includes my important research; thus, I really want to get it back.
I've tried the following methods, but it still doesn't see "Mobile device" folder:
* sync bookmark with the server (I'm afraid that the blank already replaced the data on the sync server)
* restore the autosaved bookmarks file *.json
* move places.sqlite to another computer
Does Firefox backup their Firefox Sync Server everyday? Would I request Firefox Support to restore my Firefox Sync data on the server back to 3 days ago? Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. It's so sad to hear that it cannot restore data back to 3 days ago. I've checked the tablet and the desktop, it cannot find out the data. I only blamed myself that I didn't backup the bookmarks...and I need to do it from scratch.
But I haven't understood why the bookmarks disappeared in the desktop without any error. I've just updated Firefox from 8.0.1 to 15.0.1, I hope it'll not happen again.

I'd like to limit the Firefox window to the same size as my website...how can I do that?

I'd like to limit the Firefox window to the same size as my website...how can I do that?

Sorry, that isn't possible any more in Firefox, except for pop-up windows that a web site opens itself, and that can be overridden by the user with a simple preference setting in Options.
Users can't change or set the window size in their own browser from the URL bar any longer, they have to do it via the Scratch Pad in Web Developer menu under the Firefox button.

Xmarks sychronyzes moved or deleted bookmarks, can FireFox Sync do the same?
