Android 4.1.2 Latest version of everything Droid Razr MAXX HD Chrome: disabled and permanently in the corner

Hello. I had a system crash yesterday, a raid failure (one hdd died from a raid 0), I reinstalled Windows 7 x64, on a new hdd (normal, not in raid or something like that). I installed them Firefox 18 and I set up the Sync account. Then I tried to synchronise my computer with the server, after 10 minutes or something, when I came back to the computer, I checked the bookmarks. And surprise... some sections were lost, after a 2nd synchronise, all my bookmarks were lost and nowhere to be found. Also on the server there are no bookmarks left, even if the passwords still work and all in pristine condition. So what to do now?

If I search for "Shell", e.g., and then click on the "name" column, most "Results" are duplicated. E.g., "Perdido | About Shell" in the "Shell" Parent Folder is shown twice ... same URL et al. I can see that Bookmarks added on or after 02-01-2013 are NOT duplicated.

I can view the RSS feed (http://www.engadget.com/rss.xml) on Firefox without any problem. But I can't view the RSS using live bookmark, when I click the folder, it just say 'live bookmark feed failed to load'. This happens after the engadget recent redesign.

Firefox 18.0

I have some bookmarks pinned to the taskbar. They show the URL of the link, not the name of the bookmark. For example; in my bookmarks dropdown menu I have a bookmark named 'hotmail', but when I pin it to the Firefox icon in the task bar it shows up as https://login.live.com.....

How do I rename it or get it to show the same name as in the dropdown menu?

Ok, I have an odd issue that just started occurring after an OS reload. When viewing my RSS feed pull-downs from the bookmark bar, they'll often-times open up 100% transparent, the only thing visible being the drop-shadow that surrounds it. The menu still works; I can still click things and it will bring up the page, but since I can't see what it is, I have no clue what I'm clicking. I can get it to be visible again by closing and re-opening the pull-down (sometimes takes a couple tries).

Nothing has changed with my browser profile since I last reloaded windows. I reloaded Windows (7 64-bit) once because my secondary HDD controller crashed on me and I reloaded windows thinking there was a faulty driver stuck in the OS (that and to get rid of the extra junk from the past several years), but later found the motherboard was going bad, so I replaced it and reloaded again (primary is 2x SSD Raid 0). I'm now running that second reload and loaded my profile the same way as before and I'm getting the issue.

To save and load the profile I did the following: FireFox menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder (Profile folder) then closed FF and copied the entire contents of the folder to a backup directory. Reloading the profile was the same process but copying the files back to the profile folder after closing FF. I did this on the first reload as well and had no issues, but for some reason I'm running into it now. Seems to occur more during heavy file transfer loads (such as copying from USB HDD to SSD raid). Not actually sure if that's related or not though.

Anyway, any ideas why this might be occurring?

My Imac is version 10.8 snow leopard. I tried to import bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but import data from another browser is greyed out, even though private browsing is turned off. I also created an .html file for my bookmarks no problem but when I import this file to firefox, no bookmarks appear. I checked the file in a plain text editor for any folded files but none existed. Can anyone help me solve this problem. It seems the easiest solution would be if the IMPORT DATA FROM ANOTHER BROWSER button was functional. thanks.

I accidentally replaced my backup with the current bookmarks while trying to import from it. The original bookmarks were not present in Bookmark Backup in Profiles so I used Recuva for recovery. Now, Firefox gives the 'Unable to process backup file' thingy.

System Restore hasn't helped either.

I have my main bookmarks in alphabetical order and those in the bookmarks toolbar in my preferred order. This is the same on 4 different PC's, all of which are synced in FF.

However, whenever FF opens after the PC has restarted it re-organises the bookmarks, both the main list and those in the toolbar. It always re-sorts them into the same order (but not alphabetical) and it moves all the separators on the toolbar to the end. This happens the same every time and on all PC's and has happened since v16 (I'm now on v18 and it still does it).

I've tried removing the 'localstore.rdf' file from the profile folder but that hasn't made any difference.

At about 9:00 am EST Firefox worked normally on my pc.

At about 11:30 am EST I opened Firefox and got a Mozilla screen that said the program had been changed.

Now all my bookmarks are gone.

Why

- I want to Sync my browsing data (History, Book Marks) of Firefox by just Giving My User Name & Password

- I should be able to restore them by just authenticating with User Name, Password.

How ?

If I want to access my bookmark menu on my Android device I have to do the following: 1.- Tap on the Address bar 2.- Tap on the Bookmark tap where it shows the "Top Sites/Bookmakrs/History" tabs 3.- Tap on Desktop Bookmarks 4.- Tap on Bookmarks menu.

Those are 4 things I have to tap BEFORE I'm able to go choose which site I want to visit. What I want is for my "Desktop Bookmarks/Bookmarks Menu/" folder to be open as soon as I tap on the Address bar, could you please let me know how to do this? Thank you!

after i search for a bookmark, i'd like the ability to right-click on the search result and have it display where it actually is in my bookmark list. does Firefox already have some way of doing this? if not, it's a feature i'd like to see added. thanks.

Using Firefox 17.0. When I click on "Bookmark a Page" under the star in the dialogue box that appears it may say "Remove Bookmark" or "Remove 3 bookmarks." What does it mean - will it really remove three bookmarks?

Cannot move bookmarks wherever I want. They are stuck in alpha order. When I move one it goes back to alpha order. I would like to be able to move them manually in any order.
