How to copy Firefox Bookmarks to Fast Dial

In Firefox, go to Bookmarks/Bookmarks Manager

Go to the Folder in Bookmarks from where you want to copy Bookmarks

If you select one bookmark it will become coloured.

You could copy one Bookmark to Fast Dial or with CTRL pressed down, add further bookmarks to your first selection.

When you have selected all the files you wish to copy to Fast Dial then right click copy.

Go the Fast Dial Folder of your choice in Bookmarks

(Either the Root or any Folder)

Open the Folder and right click and paste onto the Folder Page (right of screen)

This will copy all of your selected bookmarks to the Fast Dial Folder of your choice.

When you open the folder in Fast Dial the bookmarks will appear.


Many thanks

Rename Fast Dial Folder in Bookmarks (Root Folder)

If one goes in Firefox to Bookmarks organise Bookmarks on can see a Folder called Fat Dial.

This is the Root Folder in Fast Dial.

One can with the help of the context Menu place the Root Folder in different places in Bookmarks.

The most common is to make the Fast Dial Folder home.

Please see here


It is also possible to change the name of the Root Folder (called Fast Dial)

To do so go to Bookmarks/Organise Bookmarks/Bookmarks Menu

Select the Fast Dial Folder

At the bottom of the page you will see the name of the folder
Simply change the name and exit

The new name of the Fast Dial Folder (The Root Folder) will now be visible in the Tab when you first open Fast Dial in Firefox

Many thanks

Running Fast Dial 2.22b with Autohide

____________________________________________________________________________________

This is put together for those that like using Fast Dial with Autohide.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

To download the Extension Autohide please go here

______________________________________________________________________________________

The first thing to do is to set up Windows to Start Firefox Maximised.

I am not all sure all versions of Windows are the same in this respect but I recommend the following:
Right click on the Firefox Start Icon and click Properties, in the following Menu under "Run:" select Maximised.

________________________________________________________________

Next I would recommend that you download the Extension Autohide:

Download
Help Page

On the Help Page you will see this FAQ:

Further down the same page there is information concerning about:config settings for Autohide..

_____________________________________________________________________

The Autohide Menu available under Options in Firefox Add-ons is very straightforward to set up.

Here is an example of one set of settings

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Using Autohide

The most important thing is that you can see this image top right of your screen

If you can see this image it means that you are in Maximised Mode.

---------------------------------------------------

That means if you can remain in Fullscreen mode with Toolbars visible on hover.

This is the Autohide Toolbar Icon (in the shape of a cross)

Note
If you left click the Autohide Toolbar Button you will not see the top Windows Bar in Fullscreen Mode.

If you wish to see that Bar at all times, as well as having hover, please right click the Autohide Tollbar Button (thank you telega)

---------------------------------------------------

If you find for some reason that you are not in Maximised mode, then press F11, change to Maximised top right of screen and then hit F11 again, or the Autohide Toolbar button.

If you are not in Maximaised Mode in Fullscreen Mode, the Windows Bar at the Top of the screen will remain visible in Fullscreen Mode which is ugly.

And not only that but hover to show Toolbars will cease to Function

---

If you wish to return to "Normal Mode", that is showing all Toolbars with no hover and so on, the please press SHIFT-F11.
This will return you to what the author of Autohide calls Zombie Mode. :-)
