No matter where I move a bookmark to, in the sidebar, it always pops to the bottom of the folder, or in the case of an unsorted bookmark (not in a specific folder), it goes to the very bottom of the Bookmarks sidebar. No matter how many times I drag it back it will always go to the bottom of whatever it is in. This is extremely annoying and I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. p.s. I turned off "Sync" to see if that made a difference and it did not.

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Why have 3 IE Tab extensions installed, and activated at the same time?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

When in Safe Mode...

  • The status of plug-ins is not affected.
  • Custom preferences are not affected.
  • All extensions are disabled.
  • The default theme is used, without a persona.
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
  • The default toolbar layout is used.
  • The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
  • Hardware acceleration is disabled.

If not, see this:

I haven't added any new add-ons in maybe a year. This is just how it's always been. This just started a week or so ago.

Can you please update to Firefox 33.0.2 and let us know if this still happens? Update Firefox to the latest release
