Bookmarks compared to history seems confused

Lists of Firefox since version 3 seems to treat the history and bookmarks as more or less identical. They are not, at least not for me, and probably not for most people.

For example, when you click on 'View history', you get a window popup/dialogue with history, as well as all your bookmarks. I have deliberately separate history and bookmarks, and it has no sense at all to me that Firefox seems determined to stay away from me.

In addition, the options available to organize the history are much more limited than what existed before.

If you want to see the story itself, you can still do it in the sidebar. With a Mac, use Cmd-Shift-H to open it. With Windows, use Ctrl-H.

  • Customize the bookmarks and the history button (using the sidebar)

    Hello

    I was wondering if there was a way to configure the bookmarks and history to open like a button sidebar instead of a menu drop-down. I've recently updated firefox to the latest version. In the old version I was using (I'm sorry, I don't remember version) bookmarks and the history button would open a side menu to the left of the window, that's what I'm trying to do.

    I know a shortcut and a drop down for this. I am also aware to be able to open the sidebar via the Bookmarks button, but it takes 2 clicks. I wonder if there is a way to simply open the sidebar with just 1 click of the button. Basically, the button is like Alt + B, I want to change it to be simply Ctrl + B in 1 click.

    Thank you.

  • preference and locations pre-defined in LR3 seems confused

    I am running LR3 on a Win 7 64 (primary) and a XP 32 (secondary) and and try to manually synchronize settings and presets but I'm quite confused.


    On my Win 7 64 machine I found there are two structure of catalog of Lightroom in the hidden files box settings under the ".../Application Data/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom / ' and in the visible data catalog"Lightroom ".  They are up to 80% identical, but two of them seems to store something that others did not...

    If I delete eather one of them, it is automatically recreated when LR3 is started.

    I tried to copy visible "Lightroom settings" folder of my Win 7 to the equivalent area on my XP, but start it does not me the same Lightroom settings and presets as I expected.

    Anyone who could tell me the secret here?

    The word page nothing on the "Lightroom settings" catalog created in theDocuments and Settings / [username] /My Documents / My Pictures/Lightroom folder: who created just on my PC due to a wrong setting or is it standard?

    If you check the Store Presets with catalog option in Prefs-> Presets, Lightroom uses the presets in this folder. If it's missing, the folder will be created when you click on the option.

    If this option is disabled, Lightroom uses the global folder presets (i.e.... \Application Data\... etc.). It is safe to delete the settings Lightroom to 'My pictures' folder because they are not used.

  • lost bookmarks save the file seems to be emty

    something happened with the money of kaspersky security enter a safe mode on online banking
    disabled Kaspersky and restarted the computer, but made firefox as first down loaded without my favorites
    So will form but nothing seems to work is there something that I'm over looking?

    No, there is a phone number for support from Mozilla. A search on the web will be dozens of companies wants to call you, for a price...

    Could check you if refresh performed? Who would have copied the folder to the settings to a folder on the desktop named old data from Firefox. If you see something like this, you could click in and see if records show a recent modification date/time, and can be used settings recently?

    If you find this, we propose ways to retrieve your data using this folder.

    If you can't find it, could you type or paste the following text in the search box of the Windows Start menu, and then press ENTER:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    This folder must contain your active settings file (profile), and what I was asking, is if it contains all the additional files. You can look at the date of change/time for any second folder see if she might have recently lost settings.

    Note: It is normal that profile being random semi, for example file names: as75df43.default

    Find any extra settings folder?

  • I have used Firefox for about 8 years and yesterday lost my bookmarks toolbar. Any suggestions? Yet the bookmarks and it still seems in sight.

    I have used Firefox for about 8 years or since first of all, it has been developed and I love it! I especially love the personal bar and he used all these years without any problems. Yesterday, I lost somehow the bookmarks toolbar. It is still listed under view in the Menu. When I check, besides, that area expands a little and when I uncheck the box decreases a little. All my favorites are still there, but not the toolbar. I tried everything I know to try. I uninstalled and downloaded Firefox again and reinstalled. I have restarted my computer several times. I tried dragging the new bookmarks in the toolbar of the address of the site area. Nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be the cause and have a solution? I HATE that, without this toolbar. Thanks in advance!

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the call of menu bar.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize.
    • Make sure the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" are on the personal bar
    • If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the bookmarks toolbar, then FRY it in the toolbar palette in the window the bookmarks toolbar Customize
    • If the missing elements are in the toolbar palette then drag them from the window, customize the toolbar
    • If you do not see an item on a toolbar in the toolbar palette and then click the button "Restore default" to restore the default toolbar set up
  • Bookmarks stripped since the last update

    Not sure what happened here, but updated with the new Firefox search box. Tonight, I noticed a few things with bookmarks. It their rearranged and most of them seem to be 2 times. But also, I'm missing some. How can I get them back to the way it was before this update?

    Hello

    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be useful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To retrieve them, follow the instructions below.

      • Click the Bookmarks button

        then select show all bookmarks.

    1. At the top of the library window, click on import and backup , and then select restore.
    2. Click on the date of the backup of bookmarks you want to recover.
    3. In the new window that appears, click OK.
    4. Your bookmarks in the selected date should now be restored.

    For more information, see the article restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer . For alternatives, see the article of recover lost or missing bookmarks .

    It can also be a problem with your places.sqlite file that stores your bookmarks and browsing history. Try using the extension of Maintenance of places to see if that allows to correct problems with the file. For more information, see:

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • My hard drive died suddenly, and after that I am unable to find my old favorites (used the synchronization of the former). Bookmarks are on your server, can I get back them?

    I have the key to firefox sync (used for synchronization of the former) and everything, but of course it is unnecessary with the new synchronization system. One of my ideas was to connect to my office computer, sync all bookmarks, and then switch to the new sync - but unfortunately being unused for years, it turns out that the monitor was dead, and the graphics card seemed to be roasted (felt like it anyway).

    Any ideas?

    This may not work (Firefox sync isn't a backup system, so this will probably fail), but it's worth a try:

  • CCleaner 4.01 corrupts the bookmarks toolbar in FF 20.0.1

    When I use ccleaner 4.01 and select download history for Firefox on the Applications tab, which translates to corrupt the bookmarks toolbar: all bookmarks from a certain one (a reference to a local file on this computer) disappear. They are still visible in the section toolbar bookmarks when I display all bookmarks, but bookmarked, they cannot be either deleted or moved. and this bookmark has no properties.

    I see only between runs in my tests (vs not corrupt corrupted post-ccleaner) Exchange very few files, and places.sqlite is one of them. Others seem little likely candidates.

    I submitted this as a bug in the forum of ccleaner bug, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced it, and if it may be a bug in Firefox. Anyone?

    Yes, other users have reported problems after using Ccleaner.

    Firefox works fine until it is 'cleaned' - not a Bug in Firefox.

    I wonder if Ccleaner has changed their program recently to account for changes that Mozilla has recently made to the filesystem within Firefox.
    And if so, users of Ccleaner using the latest version of this program?

    BTW, places.sqlite is where are stored the bookmarks and browsing history and recently, download history storage has been added to the file "places".

  • Comparing the sum of the two tables and correct by difference of amount in its second t

    Hello guys,.

    I have a very difficult task that I can't get my head around.
    The sample data looks like this:

    Master table
    Request - booking - debit - credit - MasterAmout
    1------------1----------------D---------------------------------15.3
    1------------2----------------D---------------------------------480.6
    1------------3------------------------------C-------------------496.8
    ------------------------------------------- 0.9


    The slave table
    Demande---reservation---debit---credit---slaveamout---slavecorrection
    1------------1------------D------------------------------------15.3---------------14.5
    1------------2------------D------------------------------------480.6-------------480.6
    1------------3-----------------------------C-------------------496---------------496
    -------------------------------------------0.1--------------------------------------0.9


    The reservation have a total amount of 0.1, but must be corrected to 0.9 because the main table has 0.9.

    Reservation 1 requires a correction so the slave table also has a total of 0.9 (business rule is, only corrections on the first booking). So we have
    to change the amount of 15.3 to 14.5. I plan my SQL like this:

    1 reservations sum of two tables for each claim. Compare the two for each individual claim.
    2. If Captain sum the amount shows a difference between master / slave
    2.1 select top 1 table reservation slave for the specific claim and increase/decrease by the difference of these two amounts.

    Who is?

    Hello

    Use MERGE to actually do the UPDATE.
    The ROW_NUMBER analytic function to identify the first booking in slave (unless you can count on which the reservation = 1).

    MERGE INTO     slave     dst
    USING     (
         WITH     master_summary     AS
         (
              SELECT       claim
              ,       SUM ( master_ampount * CASE
                                       WHEN  debit  = 'D'  THEN -1
                                       WHEN  credit = 'C'  THEN  1
                                   END
                         )     AS balance
              FROM       master
              GROUP BY  claim

                                WHEN  s.credit = 'C'  THEN  1
                               END
                  ) OVER (PARTITION BY  claim) - m.balance     AS diff
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  claim

         )          src
    ON     (     src.claim     = dst.claim
         AND     src.r_num     = 1
         )
    WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
    SET     dst.debit      = CASE
                        WHEN src.diff      <  0 THEN 'D'
                                       ELSE NULL
                     END
    ,     dst.credit      = CASE
                        WHEN src.diff      <  0 THEN NULL
                                       ELSE 'C'
                     END
    ,     dst.slaveamount = ABS (src.diff)
    ;
    

    If you would care to CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for the sample data (showing the two tables, as they exist before the DML) then I could test this.

    The design of history seems very uncomfortable. Instead of the debit and credit columns, it would be much simpler to have positive and negative amounts. Is it really worth now both not corrected and corrected the amounts in the table on the slave, especially if you keep only versions corrected debit and credit columns?

  • How can I add an icon to a Web page in my bookmarks bar?

    Most Web pages have the coding for the small square icon in the bookmarks toolbar.
    Some do not.
    How can I add an icon to a Web page that does not have an assigned icon?

    It saves space for icons rather than a description of the page.

    These icons are called the favicons. Unfortunately, there no Firefox builtin feature to customize or change the favicon as the favicon is determined by a line in the HTML code of the site.

    There are many addons for Firefox that improve your browsing experience and allow you to make some customizations to Firefox. You can browse the addons of Firefox here.

    The only addon that I could find was the Favicon Images bookmarks addon, but it seems that there are some restrictions and you are only allowed to choose an icon from the list of the addon, not a custom image.

    Thanks in advance for your help guys.

    Hi, it could be a good idea to try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    If this does not help, you can try this for the restoration of the bookmarks: open bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore and see if you have a backup there.

    Or please see-

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
