Firefox Question

18 years ago

I should be able to figure this one out but need some help. I use Firefox almost exclusively. When I want to bookmark a page,I click on bookmarks,then "bookmark this page" and then "create in bookmarks" whereby a list drops down of folders I have created. Here's the problem. Only 5 of those drop down,leaving several off the list and I can never access those last few unless I click on manage bookmarks. But that doesn't allow me to add a site,just access the sites I've already added in the past. What am I not seeing?

Me me...I know that one!

Beside the drop down box, and to the 'right' of it, there is another 'down' arrow. It will show all of them, or even let you make a new folder....at the bottom. Only the most recently used folders will 'show' in the box.

I had never noticed that down arrow, chemocurl. I may explore it.

I have always, even before Firefox, created a "links to be resorted" folder and put all new bookmarks there first. Then do the manage bookmarks later. I delete a lot of them doing it this way and don't have so many 'Now what the bleep is this?' is my bookmarks.

Jane: Thanks for your response. Yes, I have that checked and it -does- save the password info, but I still have to go thru the log in process, just don't have to re-enter the info. I was trying to find a way that when I used my bookmark for the site to open it, it would do an 'auto login' like it does here. I searched a long time yesterday and found out from some others on that particular site that the site only supports Firefox 1.5. So that answers that question. Shirley

Tools/Options/Content you can set the font and size, just left click on default font or size and you'll get a dropdown. as far as I know it will stay.

Yeah, sorry, I'm not expert enough to explain the difference, just pointing out that there is a difference. My banking sites work fine without Java. I wasn't implying your problem is Javascript, just that it's not Java. Javascript is not something you manually update, it's built into the browser and updates when you update the browser. Personally, I wouldn't rush to reinstall Windows if all the problems are in Firefox. First, I'd try the "reset" that you tried. If that didn't work, I'd uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. If that didn't work, I'd do it again but make sure it didn't leave anything behind. Make sure it removed my old Firefox profile, maybe even run CCleaner's registry cleaner to make sure all Firefox registry entries were removed. Then if after all that it still didn't work right... I'd consider reinstalling Windows. I'm not an expert though so I'm saying that's what you should do, just telling you what I'd do. BTW, every time I've ever reinstalled Windows, I dreaded it but ended up glad I did. Machine ran snappy new again. Sorry I can't help more.

yes agree sounds like a bad download,my question where are you downloading it from? Try directly from firefox site, just delete the old one and re-download. Here is a link that might be useful: firefox download

When I click on the down arrow it doesn't do anything except let me create a new folder. I can do all kinds of things on my computer and even crawl around on the inside of it and almost get it to make my morning coffee. Why in the heck can't I do something like make a bookmark????? Makes me want to go back to IE and do it there..

mwoods, is this the arrow you're clicking?

If so, I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. I have quite a few folders for bookmarks and they always all show when I click that arrow. It's never let me make a new folder.

I have a problem with bookmarking also and opening certain things in IE. I know there is a way, I just haven't found it.

How it works with my Firefox 1.5.0.12

The page you are wanting to bookmark should be in the new folder, which will be at the very bottom of your bookmark listing. I always right click on the newest folder and "sort by name". Then it is up with the other folders....
