How do I get Mozilla to use the page name for the actual bookmark name instead of the URL when I bookmark a page
I just noticed this (in comparison to Internet Explorer): In IE, when you favorite a webpage, it uses the actual name of the webpage (for example, for this page, it would be "Ask a Question Firefox Help" as the bookmark name), but in Mozilla it uses the URL address as the bookmark name. I was wondering if it was at all possible to change my Mozilla settings in order to make it use the webpage name as the bookmark name instead of the URL address? I hope everyone understands what I'm getting at? If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Firefox uses the title tag for the name of the newly saved bookmark.
When I bookmark this forum page I get this for the "Name" of the bookmark.

Does this happen with each bookmark?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
I just tried bookarking pages with the webpage title, and it worked, so please disregard this support topic! Thank you everyone!
