When making a new folder in the "Page Bookmarked" pop-up, it doesn't let me name the folder.

Usually, when you bookmark a page, when choosing the drop-down menu next to the "folder" area, you can press "New Folder", and it create a new folder and let you name it.

Now, it often does nothing when I press the button, and when it does make a new folder, it doesn't let me name it. I have to go to my bookmarks, right click it and go to properties, and then change the name from there. It's very annoying.

Are you using Sync to sync the bookmarks?

If you do then try to disconnect from sync to see if that has effect.

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
