Cannot delete a bookmark - why?

• Cannot delete a bookmark in "Unsorted Bookmarks". I tried "resetting" of firefox.

  I can't delete individual "Unsorted Bookmarks." I have no problem to delete bookmarks from the Menu "Favorites".

  I have a lot of these bookmarks that I can't remove. They just clutter up the drop down bookmarks menu and make it almost unusable.

  No need to delete the entire category "Unsorted Bookmarks", although this would be an acceptable solution.

  COR - el: thanks for the quick response. It has not solved the problem, but something that you said does not lead to a solution.

  To reformulate the problem, there was a lot of bookmarks, which appeared in the drop-down menu that simply cannot be deleted.

  I was able to delete 'normal' bookmarks by bringing their respective pages on the left by clicking on the star in "Edit this bookmark" which appears near the right end of the URL field and then clicking "Delete bookmark" from the context menu that appears. In this case, the star would be yellow and in the popup, the folder would be called bird "Bookmarks Menu".

  Where I couldn't delete the bookmark, the star would be white and the record would be qualified bird "Unsorted Bookmarks."

  It made no difference if I started firefox in safe or normal mode.

  It had been years that I used the bookmarks bar and I had completely forgotten it existed. You mentioned it in your response, however, and I decided to try it. Bingo! In the sidebar, I could with the right Bookmark button and then click 'remove '. It worked even for bookmarks that I could not remove any other way.

  I don't know if it is a bug in version 16 of firefox, or if somehow my bookmarks file had accumulated incorrect metadata for many years to update version.

  In any case, for me, is a problem solved.

• Cannot delete the bookmark

  Information system: Ubuntu 11.10, running Firefox-trunk 12.0a1 (2012-01-21), cannot remove bookmarks.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• location bar problem: cannot delete url

  I have two URLS that keep reappearing in my address bar history. I erased the history several times and next time think I start Firefox (v7 & 8) they come back! I highlight, press the DELETE key and they go away but come back the next time Firefox refreshes or begins.

  A URL is the store that sold the computer the other is simply a site I visited. I searched the registry and found nothing.

  All other URLS can be deleted permanently until I enter them, but not these two!

  Ideas?

  Entries in the bar location drop-down list with a yellow star (blue on Mac) at the right end of the bookmarks and Scripture cannot be cleared from the location bar menu drop down with the delete key.
  
  You can delete this an item marked with a bookmark that appear in the list, if you open this url in a tab and click on the yellow star in the address bar.
  
  This will open the "Edit this bookmark" dialog box and you can click on the delete button to delete the bookmark if you want to delete such an entry marked with a bookmark.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

  upgraded to 3.6, bookmarks, lost, lost the toolbar bookmarks, bookmarks library, lost cannot go to the previous backup, error message. Not have Torbutton. Cannot save new bookmarks. AutoFill remembers. Don't forget the story is about.

  I got this yesterday after the 3.6.4 problem upgrade. I'm not sure if I saw all the things you did, but I have def lost all bookmarks and the back button. I fixed it by:
  1. go to the Firefox profile directory, which for me is here but 1st bit will be different for you as mine work specific:

  C:\Documents and Settings\U049177\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\soez0lvk.default
  2 delete places.sqlite and places.sqlite - journal

  3. start Firefox (you should have the back button now works but not Favorites, he recreated to these 2 files)

  4. in the menu, bookmarks and then organize bookmarks, then button import and backup, then restore, then select a day to restore from. You should now have your backups Firefoxes bookmarks.

  Hope this works for you

  1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

  2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

  2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (seehttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

  3. close OE.

  4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & removeOutbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbxand Deleted Items.dbxfile.

  To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

• Impossible to remove an unknown account, get the error 'cannot delete the unknown account because this object inherits permissions from its parent.

  I have several programs that when I go to security there is an unknown account and when I try to delete unknown account I get this message that you cannot delete the Unknown(S-1...) account because this object inherits from its parent perssions. To delete the Unknown(S-1...) account, you must prevent this object from inheriting permissions. Turn off the option for the inheritance of permissions and then try to delete the Unknown(S-1...) account again. I tried the edit and advance features in respect of security without success. Why have I not control over security permissions?

  Found a solution to this problem.

  Go to the folder parent of the folder that contains the files with this unknown account number:
  1. right click on the PARENT folder, and then click Properties.
  2. on the Security tab, go to the advanced options (bottom window)
  3. in the new window, click the button change the permissions in the bottom.
  4. Select the Group (NOT AUTHENTICATED, just of users USERS) users
  5. check "replace all permissions of child object with permissions inheritable of this object.
  6. click on the OK button or apply and done, fixed number.

  Hope this helps anyone else having this problem, for me it happened after reinstallation of win 7 on the same machine and keep my images on another partition, so it was spared by the new facility, so the old user account was always on the file permissions.
