Firefox bookmarks separators are disappearing while scrolling

So, my dividers disappear and reappear when I scroll in the Bookmarks Sidebar. This does not always happen, but sometimes it does. Right now, I have no addons, so I don't know why this is happening.

When I go and click on it with the mouse, they appear.

What should I do?

Hello

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

Then perform the following steps:

  1. Open the Firefox Options (Preferences on Mac or Linux) as follows:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    • In 28.0 Firefox and earlier versions, click on the Firefox orange upper-left button, then select the 'Options' button or, if there is no button up Firefox, go to tools > Options.
  2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
  3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

    Hi comrades.

    I need help with this problem. I did some research but I did not yet find an answer for this.

    What is happening is that some fields disappear depending on how the screen scrolls.

    The same screen, with the same fields but different content, seems perfect when not scrollable, so the problem seems to be related with the scrolling.

    Fields Flash for scrolling or something like that. They just look ok in a certain position of the roll and don't have in others.

  • Firefox hangs for a short second while scrolling.

    Very well. I will do my best to explain this and the steps I tried in vain to resolve the issue.

    Normal use (even without any addons at all) after a short time, 5-10 minutes, sometimes faster my Firefox stutters for a second, my mouse stops during stuttering and then it thaws. Once that starts happening, it happens VERY frequently, like all the other seconds, when I scroll to the top and to the bottom of a page is when it is more sensitive, the mouse cursor stops while firefox is 'frozen' and he returned after a short second.

    I tried many things: I completely deleted firefox to my system, most of the registry entries, all linked files, deleted and I tried a fresh install again. That seemed to help for a second, but after a few minutes of browsing the symptoms return.

    I have concluded that it is not addon for, as I began cool and does not have everything on my last attempt to reboot, that she was having the same problem with or without addons

    I have tried this fix sessionstore.js, increasing the interval, disable it completely, that doesn't seem to help either.

    This does not happen on Chrome, is that firefox does it. It is not even a serious if it's a website, if I scroll to the top and down on the troubleshooting page in firefox it stutters even while scrolling.

    I tried everything I know to do, and I can't fix it myself. Please, if you can help I would appreciate it.

Couple of days later, I plugged my Ipod in, the problem returned. But, since I started to load my ipod Besides, the problem disappeared. Thus, someone at - it still have this problem, check to see if you have an ipod, an iphone or another usb storage device is connected.

  • When I load firefox bookmarks are available, but when I go to another page, in addition to my favorites start page are not available so I can't mark all pages.

    just when I go to a page, any page my 'bookmark this page' disappears. It is present on my start page which is the page of linux mint.
    Thank you
    Nate

    In Firefox current releases the menu entry 'Bookmark this Page' in the bookmarks menu changes to "Edit this bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation bar is highlighted blue.

    So do not get confused by the lack of 'Bookmark this Page' in the menu bookmarks and see "Edit this bookmark" instead if you try to bookmark a page that is already set bookmark.

  • All bookmarks to IE9 not filtered in 17.0.1 Firefox when they are imported from IE

    I have countless amounts of Fav container and subfolders to the breast. When I go through the process of importing fom IE most of the content of the files is empty.

    Try to export the EI in bookmarks.html IE format and then import this file into Firefox. This generally works better when multiple levels of subfolders are present in the IE Favorites.

    In Internet Explorer:

    File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file

    then in Firefox:

    Bookmarks > show all bookmarks-> import and backup - import HTML... = HTML file

  • Can I copy my bookmarks from Safari to Firefox if they are on the same computer?

    I would like to use Firefox and I want to copy the Favorites I have in Safari. I have a Mac with OS10.6 and the Safari and Firefox are on the same computer. I want to know if Firefox is friendlier, since I do a lot of writing.

    You need to update Firefox 6.0.1 via help > topic > check updates
    before trial rather than being disappointed with an updated Firefox after the test.

    All browsers can use the Netscape bookmarks to HTML file to copy the Favorites. But according to the documentation, you can import directly from Safari. I hope that this applies to your Mac, because it does not appear as an option for me on Windows 7.

    Import bookmarks - MozillaZine Knowledge Base

    "Firefox is important Safari settings automatically. Just go to file > import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes that you want to import. For example, bookmark Safari will appear in the bookmarks menu to Firefox as "Safari". Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari bookmarks bar will automatically appear on your Firefox bookmarks bar, too. "

    If this does not work:

    Export bookmarks in Safari: (from Safari Help)
    1. Choose file > export bookmarks.
    2. Specify a location for the exported file. The file name will be "Safari bookmarks.html." Most browsers are able to import this type of file.

    Import of bookmarks in Firefox:

    1. "Command-SHIFT-B' to display the list of bookmarks library, can be done in the bookmarks menu >"show all bookmarks ".
    2. "Import and backup" menu > import HTML > HTML file
      (unless you see Safari)

    Firefox uses the same keyboard shortcut to display such menus used on Safari (on a PC, it's the 'Alt' key).

    Firefox is highly customizable so you can change the appearance, and a lot of what we would do in other browsers must be done using extensions in Firefox, but the extensions for the 'same' function probably give you much more functionality and control. The look of Firefox by following more like 3.6 would be interesting if you're used to other older browsers - Safari grew up independently for other browsers are more similar.

    You can make Firefox 6.0.1 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

    It is much more beyond these first 10 steps in the list, if you want to make Firefox more functional. (later on)

  • My bookmark 'COMPUTER' suddenly disappeared, HELP!

    Only the "COMPUTER folder/bookmark is missing from my bookmarks bar. Every other bookmark from the toolbar is stable, as the toolbar itself. I know how to restore the Favorites, as I backup frequently. However, in the restoration, I won't lose a good number of changes, moves and respective additions of others bookmarks and their marked envelopes of a bookmark.

    Therefore, using restore itself and is, of course, a last resort, but there should be and long ago there was a now forgotten, way to go towards a 'library' restore only lack Toolbar/folder, without having to use the backup restore.

    Knows the option above to anyone? Finally, can anyone suggest why this exact situation has occurred under my administration a few more times? What could I do to cause this sudden disappearance while I'm working in the missing bookmark (that I forgot to mention earlier). Something may be corrupt? I need some "with it" ammunition for future episodes! These events are really traumatic for me... No. a joke!

    Thanks in advance. Windows 7, Firefox browser Google 25.0.1,

  • Bookmarks into folders disappeared?

    Alright. So I've had this problem for a little while now. xD and its starting to get kind of annoying. I have most of my favorites sorted in folders and others for easy access, when I need to look for some.

    For one reason or another, two weeks ago. They have all exhausted. OO as... The files are there, but they are empty. But when I open the bookmarks using CTRL-B, they are really there, inside their records. Unchanged.

    Now, I don't like using the sidebar bookmarks bar. So, I'm curious... How can I fix?
    In addition, right at that time, I downloaded and installed BoostSpeed 6. To help clean up a ton of junk on my computer. But I think that it is somehow related to problems with my favorites in general. @_@

    SOLUTION:

    The problem:

    Your bookmarks are damaged somewhere with a bookmark (s) that has no value 'location' (url) and all new bookmarks below than this bad bookmark will not be displayed in the Menu "Bookmarks" standard, but they have in fact always will appear in the window "show all bookmarks".

    Difficulty:

    (0) in "show all bookmarks", use the scroll bar to find all bookmarks when a url value 'rent' is obviously missing. For each folder, find you one, make sure that you move all over this bad bookmark bookmarks, so that this bad bookmark is changed (at the bottom) in this folder. Do this for all files.

    (1) export your bookmarks (keep it) somewhere on your hard drive. "Show all bookmarks"-> "Import and backup"-> "export bookmarks as HTML."

    (2) now delete us bookmarks "places.sqlite" Bank and force Firefox to do a new "places.sqlite" which is not damaged.

    (3) in Firefox click 'Help'-> "Troubleshooting Information"-> "View file" button (under the title "Basic application", next to the label "Profile folder"). This will open a new file Explorer window. Keep it open.

    (4) now close Firefox.

    (5) in the new folder Explorer window menu open, delete "places.sqlite" file and also delete all the files in the folder "bookmarkbackups".

    (6) now open Firefox back up.

    (7) Finally, "import" bookmark that you saved in step (1) to your hard disk. "Show all bookmarks"-> "Import and backup"-> "import bookmarks html."

    (8) wait for about 3 to 5 minutes for Firefox to "recreate" the structure of all the files in bookmarks and (mostly) all bookmark folders you may have created to organize your personal bookmarks (there are a lot of files and folders for Firefox re-create). It may seem like Firefox is no not another thing that set the cursor outside of Firefox and you will probably see the hourglass or image of spinning indicating the work is done. In five minutes, all bookmarks should work.

  • When you customize the bar of the add-on, separators ("" | "") are not visible. How can I remove them?

    Not only are they not visible, they are no longer selectable. They /do/ normally appear (that is, when not customize toolbars). Under Firefox Linux Mint 15 22.0 (Olivia: x 86-64).

    Your toolbar customizations are stored in the localstore.rdf file in your Firefox profile folder currently active. This XML file is difficult reading and I don't remember seeing a good documentation on how to modify. If you want to give it a try, please make a backup first.

    If the file is corrupted (or most corrupt, according to the case), you can rename or move it Firefox will generate a new one with default settings and you can start customizing from scratch.

    With the road, it actually seems that you should be able to find and remove the separators.

      <RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#addon-bar"
        mode="icons"
        collapsed="false"
        currentset="addonbar-closebutton,stylish-toolbar-button,spring,downloads-button,separator,fireshot-Capture-Button,greasemonkey-tbb,noscript-tbb,fiddlerhook-toolbar-button,status-bar" />
    

    Why give a try:

    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using

    Help > troubleshooting information > button "Open Directory".

    Switch back to Firefox and output

    Break, while Firefox ends his cleaning, so make a backup copy of localstore.rdf (e.g., localstore.0808) and open the rdf file in a text editor to find and change the separators of the addon ramp.

    When you restart Firefox, your changes should be obvious.

    A little luck?

  • Could not import Firefox bookmarks

    Using the last El Capitan (10.11.6) and Firefox 48.0.1.

    I have my favorites in Firefox and want to import them into Safari.

    I'm going on Safari, file / import of... / Firefox

    Select bookmarks, and then click OK

    It hangs for a while, and the CPU usage is 0%

    However, no imported Favorites appear in Safari.

    If I, instead, export as HTML in Firefox, I can import that uses the file / import of... / bookmarks HTML file.

    What I don't want is the 2nd option, because she simply creates a folder of bookmarks in Safari instead of map to good equivalents of Safari (toolbar, etc.)

    How can I go on Safari to recognize Firefox bookmarks in native mode?

    If the problem is still there, try to boot mode safe using your usual account to see if you can import.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

    Safe mode - on El Capitan

    Start Mode without failure-El Capitan.

    If it works in safe mode, try to run this program when it is started normally, copy and paste the result in a response.

    When I use the ease of importing from Firefox, it will only import a bookmark at a time - and then it inserts the bookmarks all the main pages on the site marked with a bookmark, not just the one I initially put bookmark. Also, it does not matter the information stored in the bookmark tag.

  • I got a new computer and installed Firefox, but do not know how to transfer Firefox bookmarks on the old computer.

    This must be one of the most common problems that people encounter. We receive all new computers every so often, and we all need to keep the old bookmarks when we get a new computer and install the new browser.

    I feel that I must be among the small minority of people who do not know how to proceed. My old computer is not dead, she's just older (he uses XP). I kept around until I have all the data out. Any help in doing this would be greatly appreciated.

    I am now using Windows 7.

    There are several ways you can do this:

    You can set up Firefox Sync for syncing between computers.
    Edition-> Preferences-> Sync... OR Preferences-> Preferences-> Sync...
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-do-i-set-up-Firefox-sync
    Advantages: Easy to use, once set up, keeps several devices synced
    Cons: Harder to define, requires Internet access, keep track of "Firefox Sync Key."

    You can export/import favorites
    Bookmarks-> show all bookmarks-> import and backup->...
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/export-Firefox-bookmarks-to-backup-or-transfer
    Benefits: Easier to transfer one time, can be done "offline".
    Cons: Maintain multiple devices synchronized in this way can be time consuming and possibly confuse / boring
