TenFourFox missing bookmarks
Hi I now have the latest TenFourFox and still do not have bookmarks - I try to import from safari but nothing appears after hitting 'done'. Also, nothing happens when I ask for a new bookmarks folder and saving a bookmark (command+D) generates nothing. I have tried restoring permissions (one font in error) and verified hdd. Does anyone have any suggestions, please. Ged On 28 /02/ 2012, at 18:13, geraldcornish wrote: Hi Just upgraded to TenFourFox 10.0.2 and I have no bookmarks! The bookmarks bar is visible but empty, the showallbookmarks shows an empty screen. Import Data From Another Browser (Safari) appears to work but shows nothing. Import Bookmarks from HTML also fails to work - the file can be opened directly in TenFourFox and clearly shows the bookmarks with appropriate Safari bookmark folder name. Restore from backup didn't work but that may be because I haven't made a bookmarks backup. I have tried these options one at a time with a quit and reopen of TenFourFox and all together with no difference. I have also performed Repair Disc Permissions with DiscUtility to no avail. Any ideas out there - they will be much appreciated.

I can't replicate any of these issues in either 10.0.3 or 11. It does indeed sound like a permissions problem, and repairing permissions does not fix everything, only the ones that Disk Utility specifically knows about. I'd look at the specific permissions on your profile, which is usually in your home directory, Library, Application Support, Mozilla Firefox. Short of that, you could try deleting that folder altogether, since you have no bookmarks anyway, and see if it is recreated correctly. Otherwise, I'm sorry, but since I can't cause the problem myself I don't have any other suggestions for you. -- personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Birth, n.: The first and direst of all disasters. -- Ambrose Bierce -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I started t4f and imported safari data at the initial request and all is well. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
