The "bookmark this tab" feature when right clicking on current tab has disappeared in MF4. Can I turn it back on???

In Firefox 3 you could bookmark the current tab by right clicking and selecting "bookmark current tab". Now in Firefox 4 that's gone! Can I turn it back on somehow? Please help, I don't want all of my tabs, just the one I'm looking at....Thanks!

Try right-clicking in the page content area of the browser window, instead of on the Tab itself.

Some menu entries are hidden by default and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu. "Bookmark All Tabs" and "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Bookmarks menu are among them.

You can see the difference if you use Alt+B or Alt+F to open some menus compared to what you see if you use the mouse.

  • "Bookmark This Page" and "Bookmark All Tabs" no longer show in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
  • "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
  • "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Both of you (the-edmeister & cor-el!) Two very useful and different responses that have expanded my knowledge as well as provided solutions. I really appreciate it.
