I used to be able to bookmark a tab directly to a sub-folder (back when I could open bookmarks, with selected sub-folders also left open). Cannot seem to do with current version. Any ideas?

Hello! Thanks, but I have tried that. When I go over to the tab with the cursor, as soon as I left mouse click on the tab, the whole bookmark panel disappears. I had been running an older version for quite some time, just because I don't want to deal with things not working that worked before, or good features no longer available. But I finally upgraded to the latest version the other day, version 38.0.5, and now I have this problem. What version are you running? Thanks for trying. Hopefully I am doing something different than you are saying and I get straightened out eventually. Like I said though, no problems in the past with the much older version.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
