Questions of Bookmark Bar Locator

I wrote about this before; Initially, I put the 'bar' within the configuration of Firefox DO NOT suggest to my favorites, but after a while, he began to ignore this command and it would be fixed up after restarting Firefox to suggest bookmarks when you type a web address. This problem has been resolved by implementing a new profile in Firefox. After that, this problem no longer existed.

Now today, the problem is back. I wish there was a way to communicate with the developers of Firefox and inform them of this problem. If there is no other solution out there except for the implementation of a new profile, but it starts to become annoying that I have to go through this process every time that this problem occurs.

Just to clarify:

  • You can successfully change the option "when you use the location bar suggest" in the dialog box Options (Privacy panel)? By that, I mean after you OK, change, when you return to the dialog box, it kept your change?
  • If Firefox allows you to change, he works at least for the rest of your session?
  • If you can fix it for the current session, but change came after you exit and restart Firefox:

    • Please read this article: How to fix preferences that will not save (your system more details does show you have a file user.js, that substitutes the parameters of your previous session at startup, so definitely check that)
    • If you have utility, privacy, or security software that has a function to block or roll back unwanted changes to browser settings (Advanced SystemCare, for example), you may need to disable this feature in order to save the changes.

I noticed that you have an extension named "adblocker update for Firefox 11 +". It is actually quite old now, and if you want to use an ad blocker, Adblock Plus is out of date, so I suggest deleting old and obtaining of PBA.

  • Some favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar (after the update?)

    Basically, the question says it all.

    All of a sudden a lot of my favorites have disappeared from my bookmarks bar. I can't find them anywhere.

    I used to have many of them, some in directories/folders, some 'free' - but never more than two branches down.

    If you open the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library and explore there, can you find in a strange place?

    If they're really gone, it is possible that the database file that stores the bookmarks and history is corrupted. COR - el has a few suggestions for it here: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/956965#answer-428511

    Alternatively, you can immediately make a backup copy of your folder bookmarkbackups. This folder can be placed using:

    Help > troubleshooting information > "view file" button.

    I suggest you copy (not move, simply copy) the folder bookmarkbackups set to another location, such as your Documents or a USB flash drive. In this way time passes, you will always have older backups to restore if necessary.

  • How to return to the default font on the bookmarks bar?

    Last night, I increased the font size on my bookmarks bar and made "BOLD", I want to return to the default size that I forgot what I did? Duh me. Please help, thanks

    You do not have the extension of theme font & size changer or elegant, so it is possible that you have accomplished this with the code in the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Move the bar on the bookmarks bar

    I wonder if it is possible to move the menu bar of the bookmarks bar, or if need is, move all items from bookmarks to the menu bar bar and then drag the menu on the tabs bar.

    There was once an add-on called "Interface user fix" that allow me to do that, but with the new 29 of Firefox, it's now impossible and the "Restorer of classic theme" does not grant this specific feature.

    You can move items in toolbar of bookmarks to the menu bar and hide the bookmarks toolbar and use code in userChrome.css to move the menu bar on a lower position.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

  • When I click on a bookmark stored in my bookmarks bar, it opens in a sidebar instead of a new tab. How to open in a new tab?

    I just created my bookmarks bar with my URL more often used. However when I click on a URL of my toolbar bookmark, it opens in a sidebar on the left on my main screen and not in a new tab. The sidebar is heavy, because I have to scroll to see the entire screen. How can I get the URL to open in a new tab, not in the sidebar?

    Opening in the sidebar is the default action for bookmarks created via a "Mark this Page" link or button on a Web site. Make sure you use many methods to "Bookmark this Page" located in Firefox instead.

    Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties, then turn off the preference for the load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

  • Spontaneously disappeared from the bookmarks bar bookmarks folder

    Support-

    I just chose a folder of bookmarks (to fall to the bottom of the list of contents bookmarks) on the bookmarks bar. While scrolling to the bottom of the list to make a specific selection, my finger slipped the mouse.

    Now this very 'critical folder of bookmarks' is not in the toolbar, and I was not able to locate its content anywhere in the expansion of details of bookmark.

    There was no warning or bookmark delete messages, the entire bookmarks folder disappeared without a trace.

    Why it never moved and more importantly, does Firefox keep backups bookmarks?

    How could I recover the folder of bookmarks disappeared? And do not claim by using a backup. The last system backup prior to the latest changes to this missing bookmarks folder.

    Thanks for your help.

    Ed Terry

    Have you tried a search of bookmark in this folder to see if you have moved by accident in another folder?

    If you've accidentally deleted bookmarks, then use "organize > Cancel ' in the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) to recover.

    Hold the button is the first of three buttons next to the back and forward buttons on the toolbar in the library (Bookmark Manager).

    That only works if you have not closed Firefox.

    If it does not work so that you can restore bookmarks from a JSON backup in the folder bookmarkbackups.

    • Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore

    This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose the favorites that have been added since the backup was created.

  • I want only the icons on my bookmarks bar

    Many people ask remove icons on their bookmark bar, I want to know a way to remove the text out of my bookmarks bar. It takes up a ton of space and if I didn't know what these bookmarks have been that I would not. The icon tells me everything that I need to know and I want to have more icons on this bar is faster to access what I need, and that you use regularly and the text prevents me from doing this. Is it possible to do this easily? Alternatively, as I'm not too tech savvy, a step by step process so everyone knows to remove the text?
    Thanks to anyone who responds in advance.

  • RSS feed of bookmark bar randomly displays only a shadow, no menu

    OK, I have a strange problem which just started occurring after a reload of the OS. When one look at my RSS feed pull-down in the bookmarks bar, they will often open 100% transparent, the only thing visible is the shadow that surrounds it. The menu works always; I can even click on things and it will bring to the top of the page, but as I don't see what it is, I have no idea what I'm clicking. I can get it visible again by the closing and reopening of the drop-down list (sometimes it takes a couple tent).

    Nothing has changed in my profile of browser since I recharged last windows. I reloaded Windows (64-bit 7) once because my secondary HARD drive controller crashed on me and I rebooted windows thinking there is a faulty driver stuck in the operating system (that and get rid of the extra junk during the past years), but later found the motherboard was bad, so I replaced and recharged again (primary is 2 x SSD Raid 0). I am now under this second cooldown and loaded my profile in the same way as before, and I'm getting the question.

    To save and load the profile I did the following: FireFox menu > help > troubleshooting information > Show (profile folder) and then closed FF and copied all the content of the folder in a backup directory. Reloading of the profile is the same process, but copy the files in the profile folder after the closure of FF. I did this on the first reload as well and had no problem, but for some reason any I'm flowing in it now. Seems to happen more in loads of heavy file (such as copying to USB HDD RAID of SSD) transfer. Not really sure if this is related or not.

    Anyway, no idea why this might be implemented?

    Found the problem after messing around with the personas for a bit. It seems that one I used had got corrupted somehow. I have removed the theme then downloaded from the site of personas, and it seems to have solved the problem. Don't know why he affected others while...

    He finds as he tried suggestion of Cor - el once again, so that marked as useful.

  • The bookmarks bar now appears automatically when loading Safari - how can I disable this?

    I've seen a few questions posted about this, but from what I can find none have been answered to any success.

    From today I can't open Safari on my mac (current El Capitan with all uptodate software) without bookmarks bar automatically displayed on the left side. I realize that I can hide once loaded, but it is quite annoying to have to do this every time I load Safari when I already have the bookmarks in the top menu bar. Is there a way that this can be hidden automatically whenever Safari is responsible?

    I don't know why he suddenly began to do this on my mac, but I have no software installed or modified parameters because it allows to load Safari without it. I read a post suggesting to deselect the show favorites check box in the section display the preferences of intelligent fields I've tried but nothing is.

    Once you disable the sidebar, quit Safari, and then relaunch it, the Sidebar should stay hidden.

    If this isn't what you see, you may have a corrupt preferences Safari file.

  • I want the address bar so that my bookmark bar can show more than three icons when it is placed on the same line.

    I have about five to ten icons bookmark in the same line as the search and address bar. So I use customize... and I put the bookmarks on the same line bar. I leave the "name"-textbox in each bookmark in white so that only the icons. ""

    However, only two icons appear and the rest are displayed in a drop-down list with an arrow you click.

    I need not address bar to take 70% of the screen. I don't want the bookmarks bar to use an additional line. I just want to have the icons of bookmark five to ten next to my search and address bar. Is this possible?

    The address bar and the search bar, that both have a flex attribute that makes then take all available space.

    Items in Bookmarks Toolbar folder probably has a minimum width that can just make a bookmark with a maximum length label (in your case two icons).

    You can set the width of the address bar and the search bar to force a maximum width of these two bars max.
    Definition of a minimum width for the bookmarks toolbar items will probably work as well.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace (setting the width according to your needs).

    Customization files (interface) userChrome.css and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#urlbar-container { max-width: 400px !important; }
#search-container { max-width: 200px !important; }

    You can use this code to set a minimum width for bookmarks toolbar items if you want to experiment with that.

    You may need to set a width max as well.

    #personal-bookmarks { min-width: 200px !important; }
