Why can I no longer hang out favorites in Windows folders?

I'm dependent on the ability to drag bookmarks to files of the o/s - often Windows desktop, or any other folder. A few releases back, I did an upgrade and he broke the ability to do. I downgraded and waited a few versions. Now I have updated again, and it worked for weeks - but broke today.

From Firefox in safe mode has no effect. No error is given, it's just that nothing happens.

Well, I found a way to 'reset' the correct behavior, looking for some basic info. Firefox instructions describe the main method of creating a desktop shortcut link in order to drag the icon to the left of the address bar. It was new to me. I was happy to see that it worked even when dragging it from the Favorites bar have not, but which once I did it, dragging the Bookmarks bar began work again as well. I hope this helps someone in the future!

  • Why can I not print a pdf file in windows 8

    Why can not select print share when I select a pdf file? I can't get the file to print from anywhere.

    It is not the printer or even Windows 8.  It's the adobe program that installed Windows 8.  Go to Adobe and install the Adobe Download reader.  Once you have installed, you will have all the tools at your disposal at the opening of your PDF document.

  • Why can I no longer scan a document into word so it can be edited?

    There are a few versions of microsoft, I was able to scan a document in word format.  Once scanned, it could be open in word and edited.  I can find is no longer a way to do this.  Is it still possible?

    Yes, but you need an OCR [optical character recognition] application to do.

    OCR takes a picture & transformed into characters - Word can handle only once this task is completed.

    It wasn't a word that makes the task of scanning-OCR for you.

    Many scanners come with a bundled OCR application.

  • Why can I no longer updated my Site created with the Muse?

    I had Adobe Creative cloud for a few years. I also have a Web site (http://www.amazineasheville.net) created with Muse and hosted by Adobe.

    Meanwhile, I could easily make updates and publish them on my site.

    Suddenly, three or four weeks, I no longer can get my updates of the website published on my site. Instead, I get the display options on a site that uses a businesscatalyst extension. I can't post to my actual website address.

    No matter what selections in the menu of Muse that I choose, I can't have my updates published on amazingasheville.net. Since June 19, I couldn't update my real site, just the version Business Catalyst of it, which is not visible to the public.

    What has changed? That's happened? What is going on?

    I don't have a site program that does not allow me to make changes easily!

    Thanks for any help.

    It had to do with the folder on the server. The Options menu after I clicked on publish showed a certain folder, and told me that I should just leave this entry blank. That seems to make the difference.

    Nancy, I think you were on the right track on the problem.

    There is also a new update (I remember correctly, it's dated July 20) dreaming that I saw for the first time today and applied, and which also seems to be involved in the solution. The person who called me Adobe said there have been some problems with the Muse that resolved the last update.

    I'm a writer, mostly books on the retirement and travel, not a Web site developer or graphic designer, 80 or 90% of Adobe Creative Cloud is so over my head and little value convenient for me, but to get a few components of CC I need, I have to buy a subscription to the whole.

  • Why can I not have my Yahoo Favorites in Firefox 36?

    I had my Yahoo Favorites on the previous version of Firefox, click the icon, got the drop-down list with all my files, no problem. I've upgraded to Firefox 36 & < POOF--> my favorites have disappeared. I try to uninstall the Yahoo toolbar, which is how to access my favorites, and reinstall several times, with no success. I want my favorites from Yahoo back!

    Hi, unfortunately this is a regression with firefox 36. Yahoo has contacted by mozilla on this problem - it would be for them to make the point to their addon to make it compatible with the current versions of the browser again.
    This is followed in the bug #1131604 (please do not post in bug reports)

  • Why can I no longer apply ratings to several photos at the same time?

    I used to be able to select several images and their add the same note at the same time. Now a single image will have the side has changed. Why?

    Opening 3.6, El Capitan

    Disable the single primary indicator.

    See this: keywords or ratings are only applied to one of the selected images - why?

    The reason is usually that the "Primary" indicator only is defined. With this option enabled, the changes by using the keywords, notes and other metadata will be applied to the only "primary selection": the primary selection is the active image selected. This image is marked by a thick white border in the browser and Viewer, see paragraph "navigating through and selection of Images" in the Manual of Aperture 3.

    To enable or disable the "Primary" indicator only, toggle the button "Primary only" marked by a '1' in the display controls, or use the main menu to open bar:

    Edit > primary only.
