nothing happens

Hi. I've been using Fast Dial for a while, I currently have about 30 links on the page. (Is there a limit?)
Using FD 2.22b on Firefox 3.0.8 on a Mac.
When I right-click on a page, "Add to Fast Dial" is in the menu, but nothing happens - the page is not added to Fast Dial.
Please help. Thank you,
Bonnie

Thanks for you clear description.
Has this problem always existed or have you just noticed it.
No there is not a limit.
Have you checked by going Bookmarks/Organise Bookmarks and then looking in your Fast Dial Folder to see if the bookmarks that you have added with Add to Fast Dial are there or not ?
We should be able to sort this out.
Many thanks

The bookmarks folder correctly lists all of my current FD pages.
Thank you for your prompt reply,
Bonnie

How strange.
I mean that in this Version 2.22b, Add to Fast Dial works fine, (normally).
Would you mind trying to see if you have the same problem in a New Firefox Profile with only Fast Dial loaded, or if you prefer try disabling all your other Extensions in your present Profile.
Which ever is easier for you.
Something must be causing this...
Many thanks

However, (and I didn't try this before so I don't know if it was already working or not) I can add a web site to FD by right-clicking on an empty box on the FD page and manually entering the URL.
I can live with that, if necessary!

Yes you can add the URL in Properties, but that is really slow.
Add to Fast Dial in the right click context menu, with the ability to save to folders directly is a whole lot better !
I want to know why this is not working for you !
You could try and see if things work better in a New Firefox Profile.
You could also try making a Full Profile Backup in FEBE.
A good habit anyhow..
And then try uninstalling and reinstalling Fast Dial.
Are you getting any errors in the Error Console ?
Many thanks

Is there anything that you have loaded in that time that might have caused this ?
Have you tried I wonder loading Firefox 3.0.7 ?
I run 3.0.8 fine, but I am not on a Mac.
Many thanks
