My Firefox browser will not bookmark Conservative sites

OK, this is weird.

Starting yesterday, my Firefox browser (was version 32.0) would not make bookmarks to pages on conservative sites.

Free Republic, Hot Air, Lucianne... It worked on non-political sites just fine.

This morning I updated to Version 33.0, and the problem still persists. I checked at Democratic Underground and Daily Kos, and they bookmark normally, but Again/still Free Republic, Hot Air and Lucianne.com will not do bookmarks.

I concur with you. I downloaded Pale Moon a few months ago and couldn’t be happier.

Pale Moon is like Firefox, but has no association other than the open source thing. I’ve been using it since Mozilla pulled their stunt with their founder for stating his opinion.

I love it. Never any issues at all.

Did you make a folder in your bookmarks for certain sites? If so, when you bookmarked, you may have accidentally added it to that folder, in which case it would not show up at the bottom of your generic list of bookmarks.

It kept telling me to download the latest version of adobe flash but when I investigated further, it urned out to be a trojan malware. Needless to say I don`t use firefox anymore.

I am convinced he downloaded the Foxfire liberal version. Easy mistake to make.

Works on my machine.

QA engineers love saying that.

I can duplicate your problem when using a "Private Browsing" tab in FF.
Is there a purple mask-like icon in the upper right corner?

Nope, no purple mask....

But strangely I CAN make a bookmark in private browsing... As long as it isn't on FR, Lucianne or Hot Air.

Lets see, try some more;
Breitbart... that bookmarks,
so does Drudge,
The Blaze ..works
So does Ace;
Michelle Malkin.. Works
Powerline.. works

Hmm, That's interesting. I CAN bookmark the Home page of Lucianne and Hot Air, just not any specific threads.

But on FR it still won't do a bookmark for any page.

So... whatever the problem is, it isn't conservative sites in general, Just Here, and the two others..

Oh well, Thanks to all who had anything actually constructive to say on this thread.

Using Firefox 31; it does bookmarking fine, “conservative” or not.

I just went to daily cos and bookmared it then went to it from the bookmark and it would not allow bookmarking. My guess is that mozilla in the finest tradition of we know best had decided a peviously bookmarked item can’t be bookmarked again. Isn’t nice how they are protecting us from ourselves?

Go to Pale Moon. I’ve been on it a while, no problems.

Firefox got AIDS, is dying as slow death. They French kissed the 3% and alienated the 97%. Classic progressivism in action.
