Bookmarks do not allow saving

Post by Gazdok »

Since upgrading to FF50 I cannot save bookmarks or get the pop up menu up. I can however drag the tab and place it in the bookmarks menu.

I tried the support.mozilla way of deleting the xjulstore.json file but that did not help.

Nothing else has changed during the upgrade.

Any ideas??

Best 1st step in stuff like this is to try Firefox in safe-mode... then let us know the results...

Try running Firefox in safe-mode... NOTE: This is a testing procedure only ... NOT for normal browsing.
-- On the menu bar, click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled....
Firefox will start up with the Firefox Safe Mode dialog. Click continue in Safe Mode and don't check any items.

Note: You can also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the shift key while Single/Double clicking on the icon.
* (option key while starting Firefox on Mac).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>What safe-mode does ..... Safe Mode temporarily affects the following:
* All extensions are disabled. --- * The userChrome.css and userContent.css files are ignored.
* The default theme is used, without a persona. --- * The default toolbar layout is used.
* The Just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compiler is disabled. --- * Hardware acceleration is disabled.

-- Safe Mode has no effect on the following --
* The status of plugins is not affected.
* Custom preferences are not affected.

This is the link to the main KB article for Safe-Mode ... but, use the above info 1st...

In safe mode the bookmark function works as normal, when back to normal mode it does not. I guess that means one of the extentions is interferring with and I need to disable / enable them one by one.

Thanks for the tip.
I.E Tab 4.0 seems to be the problem and interferes with the bookmarking.
