"nulljcolor" and blank cells!
aikeaguinea —Thu, 06/25/2009 - 17:46
Really,really sorry about this as I have grown to love fast dial but,since upgrading to FF3.5 RC2 and RC3 I am getting the same "nulljcolor" pop-up as other posters.
Used an Acronis restore to get back to square one and then trace the problem .....and discovered that if I open a cell and then use the back button to get back to the fast dial homepage all is OK but if I open a cell and hit the homepage button then I lose all the cells.
Using the forward button from this blank fast dial screen takes me back to the previously opened cell and the back button brings back the full fast dial page......weird!
It also appears to be screwing my " xmarks" account which comes up with a code 3 error and this cannot be rectified unless I create a new xmarks account.which I have now had to do twice. ....not happy about that!
All in all this is just too much hassle and is quite obviously a conflict with FF 3.5.
I am moving over to "Speed Dial" until such time as you manage to rectify this but will be more than happy to return to fast dial if you can get it fixed.
It is also an issue that fast dial 2.11 always works perfectly but 2.22 (and I posted about this at the time) would not open some of the bookmarks (a completely random selection) in a new tab when accessed from the drop down bookmarks tab in the menu bar.
This does not happen with speed dial.
As I said I am really sorry to be negative but the program obviously requires some tweaking before you get a deluge of the same issues when the majority move over to FF3.5 when it is released in its final form.

Hang on, I manged to get it all back, by re-installing FD & then Importing a back-up of all my bookmarks from yesterday. That worked. I guess it just remains to see if it stays working. :)
Thanks for that !
Very good news !
The problem remains as to why are the bookmarks disappearing !
I would love to know what is causing this.

I agree
This is an automatic process in Firefox
See my other posts just now.

I don't know if you use FEBE.
Really simple to use and very effective for backing up and restoring the complete Firefox Profile.
One click on the FEBE icon, once you have set it up, and you have a Complete Profile Backup saved to the location of your choice.
Easy also to restore.
I can recommend
Thanks for all your help and feedback

XP machine running FF3.5 does not have the same issue.
Just disabling my other FF addons, one at a time, to see whether there is a conflict.

Many thanks for your support
I will be most interested to see what you find.
Here is another users list of extensions who had this same problem

Submitted by johcar (not verified) on Thu, 07/02/2009 - 20:27OK, just went through my (extensive) list of add-ons, disabling them one at a time and restarting FF 3.5 after each was disabled.
No change to the issue, but interestingly, when I open a new tab (home page is set to Fast Dial), the tab name displays a website name that I know is in my bookmarks. This website is in my Bookmarks Toolbar and is on a second-level Fast Dial page. Opening a new tab consistently displays this same website name.
However I am also having an issue with Xmarks on this machine (but not the other one (XP) I sync with) - error 3, which seems to relate to a known - and unresolved - issue Xmarks has...

Things however are getting complicated.
It would somehow much better if Foxmarks was not in the equation as it throws up a whole new bunch of questions, especially as it closely linked to Bookmarks.
The other question is Operating System XP or Vista. Is this problem related to Vista only ?
I will need time to understand your tab question.
