Can't create new bookmarks folder

Unread post by DarkSteve » 2018-09-02, 04:47

Since upgrading to PM 28, I can no longer create a folder in my bookmarks, or move existing folders around. However, I can still create and delete individual bookmarks links. I'm running PM 28.0.1. Of course, I considered it was an issue with the Dark Moon 2.2.0 theme, but it happens even when not using it.

When I right-click to create a folder, the pop-up dialog is blank. Here's a couple of screenshots:

Is this a known issue, and is there a way around it? I really did try it with the default theme, too:

Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome, this is a very frustrating bug!

I'm unable to reproduce this on 28.0.1 x64 on Win 7. The window that pops up is properly populated with controls.

- are you using any language packs or extensions that manipulate bookmark control?
- can you please include help -> troubleshooting information as text in your reply?

I was afraid you'd say that. That means it's something I've done, or some hard-to-find incompatibility. I'm running 28.0.1 x64 Win10 x64. Sorry, I forgot to mention the OS before.

Not to my knowledge. I'm running "Australian English Dictionary 2017-03-01", and none of my extensions are about bookmarks. About half of my extensions are PM-specific and the other half are older Firefox extensions.

I am, however, using my own sync server. Nothing has changed there, so I didn't think about that being an issue (and it's still syncing individual links). I'm running the old Mozilla Sync app on my personal Nextcloud server, and it's been working flawlessly for years. I get the same folder creation issue on my desktop and laptop, and both setups are running the same extensions and theme.

Yep, I didn't even know that existed!

Re: Can't create new bookmarks folder

Unread post by Potkeny » 2018-09-02, 07:27

If I disable Tree Style Tab (0.0.4), it will let me create new bookmarks (and folders possibly, that I forgot to check, sorry :oops: ), while using TST I see the "empty" popup-box (searching for "parent-tab").

Did you try disabling TST? It may be the one causing the issue for you too.

yes, this is an issue with Tree Style Tab for PM 0.0.4. the author already acknowledged the bug in a different thread
I'm aware of, and care about, the bookmark issue, but I haven't had a chance to deal with it yet.

*sigh* Yep, that was it. I can create folders once I disable TST. Thankyou!

Bummer, I really value TST :( I'll report a bug on the dev's github page. It actually looks like someone else has already posted a similar bug (Bookmark All Tabs broken) yesterday.

I missed that, I wasn't specifically looking for TST issues! I did search for other bookmark issues, but didn't find anything like the problem I was having.

Now I know what the issue is, I can disable TST when I need to. I don't need to create bookmark folders very often. I'm really glad it's not stopping me creating individual links - that would be a show-stopper for me.

Thanks for the input everybody! :thumbup:

feel free to submit a bug report, but since he's already aware of it i doubt it will make things go any faster. good thing that we can disable the addon for those rare occasions needed, like you said
