Just downloaded some updates for my Linux Mint system and the prior way of handing new bookmarks does not seem to function.
Any one know if a new function was added?
Version is 3.6.8

Thread hijack. On my Firefox, Gmail features don’t work. No links, chat, etc., and I can’t right click and copy/paste. I’ve searched, and can’t find a fix.

You might add some specifics about your system on the note...I just email on one of my systems, it is Gmail but it is down at the moment....Graphic card problems...got to get it fixed shortly.

This is looking to me like a Firefox problem,...so if so will appear on Linux and Windows systems.
Not confirmed of course.

Sorry I can't help you with this one. FireFox did update the browser on my Window7 system I believe it was yesterday, and these features work ok. Perhaps it is a problem with the Linux version(s). Perhaps you can resort to the last workable release, in hopes that soon any problem will be rectified.
Please don't feel obligated to respond. Your time must be spent fixing your system.

Couldn't find anything on the Forums a and figured out how to look thru the update log...and I see that 3.9 is going into the system....and a note saying that Firefox needs to be restarted or you will have problems...so I did and the the help banner says I have 3.9 installed and so far things seem to be normal....
Sure wasn't obvious that Firefox was getting updated to 3.6.9....
No message to restart Firefox either....would have been nice ....

That was the update....sure enough...

Got to check my other system.

I restarted Firefox and I seem to be Fine on both systems now...
And I do have 3.6.9 now.
I have been in the habit of doing update as soon as they are available and continuing with what ever I was doing without checking much of anything.
Need to watch more closely...but the restarte message was just buried in the log and not very obvious.
To: Marine_Uncle
Problem solved...Restart required....
With Mint update the log file window is not resizable..so tough for me to read it...can't copy it either .

Consider using the extension “Plain old Favorites” which just uses the MS Favorites menu. Then you have access to them on both browsers.

Use “Plain old Favorites” an extension which uses the MS favorites for both and works great. Also that way you have access to Favorites in both browsers

Current FF is 3.6.9...maybe hit the ‘check for updates’ button will be of help...I dunno.
