FF version 57.0 was installed automatically when I started Firefox. As usual some of my settings have ended up in the toilet. I have fixed on but have 2 others I don't have a fix for. 1. "Open Bookmark in new tab with left click". 2. "Bookmark Colors are gone".

  • Is there a fix for these 2 items since we now have the improved version of Firefox?

Thank you in Advance

Chosen solution

There is a pref on the about:config page for opening a bookmark in a new tab:

  • browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.


Note that the above posted CSS code would go in userChrome.css.

hello mack,

follow the instructions and steps :

Note that the code Moses posted above doesn't include a selector for the Bookmarks menu drop-down list (#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item)

/* Colored folders for bookmark sidebar, toolbar, menu button */

/* Standard folder */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container),
#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton[container="true"] .toolbarbutton-icon,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-icon,
#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item[container="true"] .menu-iconic-icon {
 fill: #e8bb00 !important; /* slightly muted gold */
}
/* Live Bookmark (RSS Feed) */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container, livemark),
#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton[container="true"][livemark="true"] .toolbarbutton-icon,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup menu[container="true"][livemark="true"] .menu-iconic-icon,
#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item[container="true"][livemark="true"] .menu-iconic-icon {
  fill: orange !important;
}
/* Smart bookmark folder */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container, query),
#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton[container="true"][query="true"] .toolbarbutton-icon,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup menu[container="true"][query="true"] .menu-iconic-icon,
#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item[container="true"][query="true"] .menu-iconic-icon {
  fill: #69c !important; /* similar to blue smart folder color */
}

/* These "containers" are SVG in the sidebar, not yet on the menu */

#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container, OrganizerQuery_BookmarksMenu) {
  fill: olive !important;
}
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container, OrganizerQuery_BookmarksToolbar) {
  fill: olive !important;
}
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container, OrganizerQuery_UnfiledBookmarks) {
 fill: olive !important;

}

hello,

The file type of userChrome.css is correct, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Note that the code Moses posted above doesn't include a selector for the Bookmarks menu drop-down list (#bookmarksMenuPopup .bookmark-item)

/* Standard folder */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container),
