Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Windows XP professional, version 5.1.2600 service pack 3, build 2600. Have "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on installed, working fine, but 4 days ago clicking on the star icon to edit an existing bookmark stopped working. Hovering over the gold star still gives the pop up message "edit this bookmark" - but when I click on it, nothing happens, the edit bookmark box does not appear. Also, the "Options" button for the "Unsorted Bookmarks Folder Menu" add-on is greyed out, so no luck with trying to fix it from there.

Thanks for the quick reply ed. That has done the trick. I guess a recent update to Site Advisor has caused this issue. I'll have a play with the Site Advisor settings to see if there's any way to have it working without killing the "edit bookmark" function. -Much appreciated!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If this doesn't help then please create a new thread and provide troubleshooting information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.
