It works great, but still a complaint.
With my IE toolbar where you can store your bookmarks, I also have yellow folders there that expand that have many links in them.

I dragged and dropped and organized my Firefox toolbar with the bookmarks, but it will not let me drag and drop a whole yellow folder full of links like IE does.

Now I have to go to the faves and select them the hard way.

I wish there was a way to place a yellow folder there like in IE.

 

You mean like the pic below?

I do it all the time. Drag the folder to the toolbar itself.

 

Yes like that Mark.
It is not working for me though.

 

Hmmm...

Click View | Sidebar | Bookmarks (or just hit CTRL-B)

Does the top line read "Bookmarks ToolBar Folder", or something else? If you drag a folder of bookmarks from somewhere else and drop it on "Bookmarks ToolBar Folder", does it show up on the bookmark toolbar?

Did the folders that you're trying to get on the toolbar come from importing IE bookmarks?

If you right-click on something _IN_ the Bookmarks ToolBar Folder (don't click _ON_ the folder), then pick "New Folder", give it a name, and click OK, does it show up on the toolbar as a folder?

 

Mark, it is working as I type.
I did the Ctrl B thing, and at the top is the BT folder.
The two yellow folders I wanted are:
Forums (which contains tons)
Speed Tests (to test my line)

The two mentioned folders were already in the BT folder, just out of site.
I was able to grab them and drag them to the top
Here is a pic

Thanks a lot for the tip.

PS, one more thing.
I have the pre-release version 1.
In the top right corner is an update link.
It tries to connect to download the update, but it will not.
Could their servers be that busy, or will the version I have not upgrade to the final release?

If not, I will have to uninstall this version and then install version 1.

 

Cool! Glad to hear it's working!


Don't bother with the update button, just get the release version from here. If you're running RC1, there were all sorts of things that were fixed right before release.

You can install it over the top of what you have now. Just be sure to close all FF windows before you start the install - actually, it'll prompt you to do that if it finds one open, but doing it up front won't hurt.

 

I have been running Mozilla Firefox for a month here at work and love it. There are some sites that it won't run, or seems to have trouble running but they are few and far between.

I like the tabs and bookmarks folders and the google quick search folder.

 

Uhmmmm, ya. I have only heard your voice once.

 

ooo... another tidbit...

_STAY AWAY_ from the "nightly builds" (accessible from Burning Edge). They are REALLY unstable right now and many many common things are broken. These are "normal, expected" issues that came with a merging of two nodes, and they'll be fixed, but it's not a lot of fun right now.


Corey, if you wanna see what to expect after moving to the release from RC 1, then check here:

RC 1 was released on 10.27 so everything that you see in green from 10.27-11.07 (the release date) are fixes. There were quite a number of fixes, including work in and around bookmark management.
