Accessing bookmark subfolders in FF

Postby stairs » Tue 29 Jan, 2008 12:16 pm

Is there a way to slow down or make more persistent the subfolder information as the mouse hovers over a bookmark entry? I often get two or three folders deep in my bookmarks and accidentally let the mouse drift out of the box and everything closes and I must start over. Please, no suggestions about not using folders or using WIN settings to slow the mouse movement. Any changes to be made in FF?

Since I don't see what you describe, I am not even sure what the problem is.
My bookmarks are organized in folders ( I could not find any folder within the folder), and some unattached bookmark). There is no information if the location is within the given limits, but, the entire website will show, if the info exceeds the width which I have alloted.
As long as the mouse sits on the bookmark, I will see the info. This happens only with Bookmarks|Organize Bookmarks. Mouseover will not disclose the contents of the folders, and if I select just Bookmarks, I can navigate to the desired bookmark name. I get the website, only if I select right click|Properties of the bookmark.
Are you talking about anything which is in common?

I know what you mean.

But your mouse is doing what it is supposed to do. This is no more than simple eye-hand coordination. You can't let it slip.

I use a wired mouse and sometimes I have this if the wire gets taut.

You mouse is just working well.

Yes, Richard, you have it. Now the question is: can you slow down the response of the display to the mouse so if you stray for say 1 second off the mark, the display will hold rather than collapse back.

You may have to look at the properties of the mouse. I, also, have a wired mouse, and the moment I let it slip, the reading goes, but this happens with any browser. I am using SeaMonkey, now, and I checked IE7 Favorites. Same reaction.
