I can remove already existing sites from the Favorites bar without any problems. It was working before but I can't quite pinpoint the moment when it stopped working. The current situation is this: When I click the "Star with the green internet explorer 8 arrow" (aka Add to favorites bar) button then nothing at all happens - no new bookmark, no errors. When I open the "Favorites" menu, click "Add to favorites", select Create in: Favorites Bar and click Add then I get this error: Unable to create 'example.com': Unspecified error How could I fix this? I also tried with Internet Explorer (No Add-ons) - the same problem. bookmarks internet-explorer-8 share|improve this question edited Dec 18 '15 at 9:56 Hennes 51.1k776121 asked Jan 18 '11 at 15:13 Siim K 4,96053157 1 Have you tried dragging a link from the URL bar to the favorites bar? –Moab Jan 18 '11 at 18:47 @Moab: Tried - it works!
