I am wondering why when I go to 'ifamericaknew.org', the bookmarks tab suddenly changes to edit book mark rather than bookmark. change sites&no problem?

It will block adding the bookmarked page frozen on edit only to delete bookmark. but only on this site and a select few others. Otherwise it works fine at all other sites before and after contact. I am using Ubuntu and firefox and have not had this issue before.

Hi Goodtoknow, I understand that on a few sites that you go to that turn into edit bookmarks dialogue in the bookmarks toolbar.

Is this a longer url than just 'ifamericaknew.org'?Sometimes the stuff after the url can carry items that are passed to a script (though I doubt this is the issue).

To make sure nothing is interfering please try Firefox Safe Mode:


Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
