Normally, when I file a Bookmark, I want to put it in a particular
Group/Sub-Folder, but, with this Windows version of SM 2.40, I'm
having
troubles getting to particular Sub-Folders, e.g. somebody recently
posted a link to http://info.cern.ch/ with a claim that it was the
first
*ever* website, so I thought I'd save the link in my "General"
Sub-Folder of my Bookmarks.
Previously, a sub-screen would open showing my Bookmarks file
structure
and I would just select the Sub-Folder that I wanted the new
Bookmark
saved to, then click "O.K." and ... job done.
Now, I think, when I click on Bookmarks->File Bookmark, I am taken
to a
"New Bookmark" screen, which allows me to add bits and pieces about
the
new bookmark, but doesn't allow me to select the particular
sub-folder
that I want the Bookmark saved to .... unless it happens to be
one of
the half dozen or so listed on the "Folder:" drop-down of the
sub-screen. Where this list comes from, I don't know ... unless it
is a
listing of the sub-folders to which I may have previously filed
bookmarks directly to.
Have I started doing something wrong?? How do I get back to the old
situation where I could file a bookmark to any of the forty or more
sub-folders in my Bookmarks Folder??
(Lately, any bookmarks I save are just being added to the bottom of
the
Bookmarks drop-down! :-( )
In the New Bookmark dialog it has a line Folder: with a button
saying
Bookmarks Menu. Click the down arrow to the right. Click on
"Choose."
Choose your folder and click "Save."
Thanks for that, Ed, but as I typed above, when I click "Choose", I
only
get offered those sub-folders that I have saved to recently (the half
dozen or so listed).... not the full screen length list.
Odd. WFM. SM 2.40 release channel.
Hmm!! Looking at our UserAgents
You are Win 10 and include FF/43.0 and your addressbook works
Mine Win7 no mention of FF and my addressbook fails
Don't know if that might help any devs lurking.
Edit - Preferences - Advanced - HTTP Networking - check Advertise
Firefox compatibility.
Been there, done that ... and undone it .... several times, Ed!
Why undo it? You'll have less problems online if you advertise FF
compatibility.
My default is to disable "Advertise Firefox compatibility". If I have a
problem from that, my first recourse is to use PrefBar to set my user
agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.40, NOT Firefox/45.0
If that does not work, I use PrefBar to revert to my real UA string and
then have PrefBar check the "Advertise Firefox compatibility" checkbox.
And if that does not work, I have PrefBar uncheck that checkbox and set
my user agent string to
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/45.0
"Advertise Firefox compatibility" is not always effective. I have found
Web sites that cannot handle the presence of "SeaMonkey" in the
resulting UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40
I do not know whether the servers are parsing the entire UA string or
merely require "Firefox" to be at the end. I just know that the mere
presence of "SeaMonkey" in the string causes problems at some Web sites.
By the way, when I find an organization's site that is doing incorrect
sniffing, I sometimes send a letter (US Postal System, not E-mail) to
the CEO explaining why they have a broken Web server.
Do you think that the server is involved ?
My opinion is that the webmaster have badly analyzed the sniffing result.
Anyway all the problem came from the fact that most people did not know
that seamonkey is a browser otherwise
the UA string: "SeaMonkey/2.40" would be perfect.
