struggling to save bookmarks and save the

I used Mozilla for years. In the last weeks I had trouble with bookmarks. This since my last update. I can't save bookmarks, and I've lost 90% of my saved favorites. I have a little to save in my bookmarks folder, but when I try to restore it says that the file is not usable. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled with the same problem still there. Help, please!

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

You can check if you still have a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups with lost bookmarks.

You can look at the size of the file.

    I have stored more than 120 bookmarks and deleted the names to save space in the quick bookmark bar. Therefore, since the Bard got full, if a bookmark or folder had desciptive text next to it, the text would collapse until just the icon shows. If I hover over the icon, the test appears again. These days, I found easier to rank my favorites in folders, HOWEVER, I do not know which folder is because the text next to the icons folder remains reduced until I have pass the mouse on them. I want to customize it so that the text is fixed next to the icon or folder. How can I do this? Please help and thank you!

  • Create bookmark and set the Page Destination Script

    Greetings,

    I created a batch Script that will create children bookmarks and set the destination page.

    Bookmarks are listed in the script in the order in which they appear in ascending order.  (for example, Name1, name2, Name3, name4)

    However, once the script is run, the bookmarks are inserted in descending order. for example (Name3, name4, Name1, name2).

    Can someone advise please how do I get the script to create bookmarks in ascending order, as noted in the script?

    var bm =
    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("Name1", "this.pageNum = 0");
    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("Name2", "this.pageNum = 1");
    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("Name3", "this.pageNum = 2");
    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("Conjoint4", "this.pageNum = 3");

    var bm = this.bookmarkRoot.children [0];

    BM. Color = color.red;

    The script should also be changed to all bookmarks in red color.  The script for color bookmarks only works on the first bookmark.  Any intervention on changing the script for this would be most appreciated as well?

    Thank you.

    Use something like this:

    var bm;

    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("Bill Smith","this.pageNum = 0", 0);

    BM = this.bookmarkRoot.children [0];

    BM. Color = color.red;

    this.bookmarkRoot.createChild ("David Smith", "this.pageNum = 1", 1 ");

    BM = this.bookmarkRoot.children [1];

    BM. Color = color.red;

  • Cannot move recently implemented bookmark bookmarks and delete the original without losing

    When I save bookmarks why don't then I put them directly in the folder Iwant in? The drop down menu does not offer that choice.

    When I move the bookmark items recently in the folder I want to store them in the bookmark is duplicated in the recently marked with a bookmark folder. If I remove these two duplicates the bookmark disappears from the correct folder.

    I am not happy! I keep losing bookmarks. I have not been using long Firefox and there may be something wrong with my game to the top.

    Hope you can help.

    • "Most visited" and recently 'signet' are examples of Smart Bookmarks folders and are not true what we call records.
    • These smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the history and bookmarks in Firefox.
    • Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
    • Bookmarks that appear in a list of smart folder are stored in a different folder and any changes are applied to the element of bookmark or true story.
    • If you delete an entry then the list is shifted upward and an entry that was not previously identified is added to show the 10 entries.
    • If you add a new bookmark or visit a Web site, then a new element is added at the top and disappears from the entrance at the bottom of this list.
    • Objects but that disappear from the list have not disappeared, just not more appear in this list.
    • Actions such as copy & paste, or delete that you perform on bookmarks in such a list is made on the original bookmark.
    • If you do not want a specific list and then extract this query (right click: delete), but do not delete the content that is displayed in a list.
  • How can I move App Tabs down, where are the other bookmark toolbars? Or, how can I put my toolbars on two rows bookmarks and forget the App Tabs?

    I have several bookmarks in my toolbar, and my most often used found in a drop down menu, which is annoying. I have tried to click and drag on the menu bar, there was room for more icons, but they didn't budge. Anything under the "toolbar" has been helpful. Help tell me do right click on my toolbar and then click on 'Customize'... which did not come as an option. I would like to really all my favorites toolbar (I have about 10) or real on the toolbar visible, not hidden in a small dropdown tab menu.
    There is a plug-in that allows you to put bookmarks in two rows on your toolbars, but it is not compatible with my version of FF (7.0.1).
    App Tabs are cute, but I don't like them on top where they take place where I have the legs for various open websites (I usually opened several at once). App Tabs are fixed and do not move as site tabs, which is extremely annoying and so why I 1) want to move to the bottom of the toolbar or 2) be able to view all my bookmarks toolbars - which is what I prefer.
    BTW, I have Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    App tabs are special tablets and are always displayed at the left end of the tab bar.

    You can place all the bookmarks that you want to see the toolbar of bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar folder.

    You can do this in the sidebar or the Manager of bookmarks if you can't do it on the bookmarks toolbar.

    Most visited is a special file (smart) which shows the websites that you have visited and are not necessarily Favorites, so you can not drag on the personal bar unless you first to bookmark the. You can make it open in a tab by clicking on Star on location bar twice and choose the toolbar of bookmarks as destination folder.

  • InDesign CS4 bookmarks can cause the same name?

    Hello

    I am a new user of Indesign CS4 and have recently created a 388 pages in PDF with bookmarks entered using the bookmarks of Indesign Panel.  However, in the PDF, I find that if a bookmark in a chapter has the same name as one bookmark in another chapter, then clicking on the first bookmark takes you to the page indicated the second - as if somehow to create the second bookmark has "substituted" the page of the first reference.

    I me assuming that bookmarks have their own unique ID and what to say, with a bookmark called "Economic factors" in Chapter 1, and a bookmark bearing the same name in Chapter 2, would agree.  However, in the PDF I created from Indesign, this isn't the case.

    Please can someone advise?  I'm doing something wrong?

    Best regards

    Sarah

    I played and I'm able to reproduce your results in certain circumstances. I think it is a bug, and it's there in CS5, too.

    I also found a workaround, but there will be a LOT of work in a doc where you already have created bookmarks. As I said, this happens in certain circumstances in my tests, especially when you highlight the text and create the new bookmark and accept the name of the bookmark in the highlighted text. Even change the name of the selected text does not appear to make a difference, at the time of creation or thereafter. On the other hand, so simply, you place the cursor to the location of the text and make a new bookmark, the default name will bookmark N (N is a sequence number) and you can change it to what you want.

    I made two sets of bookmarks nested covering different pages and names them ALL identically. They all work correctly, if my guess is that the bookmark resumes the name of highlighted text, but a number of generic sequence of a plain insertion point and everything is picked up sticks. If you take the same name you no longer have an identifier unique, and that leads to the same problem of destination, but I want to emphasize this is just a guess.

    So that this works, you must recreate the bookmark. You cannot rename.

    I filed a bug on this.

  • My computer crashed, but I managed to save my files. How can I transfer my bookmarks from the old Firefox browser and install it on the new computer? I can't find the bookmark file in the old browser.

    I'm transferring my files to an HP laptop to a Dell because the crushed HP desktop computer. I installed Firefox 8 in the Dell computer (I got the Firefox 5 - I believe - in the HP). I'm looking for the old bookmarks file in the old computer, but I can't find them. Where are they? I'll appreciate your help because I had a very good collection of bookmarks. Unfortunately I didn't save them from time to time.

    Well, you were able to recover your files. I don't know where you have saved your files, but you can use the search function and search your favorites using this search term "bookmark *.» *«. It should be very probably a JSON extension file.

    Once you find the file, use this link to help restore backups.

    I hope this helps.
