Hey there, newbie here. I’m still trying to get used to Solid’s Panes and UI. And things seems to break by every click I make.

So far I created two webIds in inrupt and solid community just to check that the problems I am having were not provider specific.

### Address Book

* * *

My steps were the following:

- I went to my public folder
- I pressed the **+** button to add a new App and selected _Make new Address Book_
- I enter the name and I get a notice letting me now the Address Book has been created.
- I click _Go to new address book_ and I see this:

> **[Take screenshots in Firefox | Firefox Help](https://screenshots.firefox.com/noprI8kErOJ8fH70/glmaljkovich.solid.community)**
>
> Screenshots is a tool in Firefox that allows you to save an image of all or parts of a web page.

_Ok, maybe try to add a new contact from the public folder?_

When I do that I get different errors:

- I click **new contact** , type the name and after it opens the new contact details, edit the name.

- Editing the address

I tried creating a Group for the address book before adding a new contact but that didn’t fix the issue.

### Profile

* * *

I went to [https://glmaljkovich.inrupt.net/profile/card#me](https://glmaljkovich.inrupt.net/profile/card#me) and tried to add an email address. And this showed up:

> **[Take screenshots in Firefox | Firefox Help](https://screenshots.firefox.com/A3DUJsiShcLo3uji/glmaljkovich.inrupt.net)**
>
> Screenshots is a tool in Firefox that allows you to save an image of all or parts of a web page.

So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. These are two new pods and I haven’t fiddled with any of the files.  
I can open an issue on Github if that would be a better place.

Generally the way you add contacts is by drag-and-drop, see: [How to add a contact to your profile](http://forum.solidproject.org/t/how-to-add-a-contact-to-your-profile/55)

Some browser/OS combinations seem to screw things up though.
