Firefox 4 with close tab x on far right side? About:config browser.tabs.closeButtons 3 ?

in FF 3 I had the close tab button on the far right side with the
browser.tabs.closeButtons config to 3.
This doesn't work in FF4 anymore, what are my options?
So far I stay on 3.6 as this is a feature I really like to have.
Thanks
Tilo

I'm the opposite, I like having the close button right on each tab - it's more clear to me which one I'm closing then.
To do that, about:config. Set browser.tabs.closeButtons to value 1.

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing.How do I get it back?

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing on the Tab bar How do I get it back?

For now, you can try using Ctrl + t to open new tabs if you can't open them otherwise, but try right clicking the tabs bar, clicking "customize," and then in the window that comes up try clicking the "restore default set" button. I don't know if it will work in your case but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Clicking the New Tab button on the right side of the last tab doesn't work

I am unable to open a new tab by clicking the plus sign next to the last or current tab. If you can assist me I would love some advice! Thank you

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The AnchorFree toolbar that you have is a version of the Ask toolbar.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

3.6.4 now opens new tabs to the far right, rather than next to the current tab. why the change, and can I change it back?

When I right-click a link to open the context menu, and then select the menu item "open in new tab", the new tab is to the far right of my opened tabs in this window. In 3.6.3, the new tab would be next to my current tab. This seems like an arbitrary change. Is there a setting whereby I can get the old behavior?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to 3.6.4

Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?

When I click on a picture or map in i.e. Kijiji real estate pages, Firefox opens it all crunched to the right side of the page. How can I correct this?
For instance I view an apartment ad which has various pictures attached. It says click on the pictures to see an enlarged version. FF opens the page however most of the page is blank and the picture appears to be pushed to the right side of the page and shows as if it has been scrunched agains the right side not showing the whole picture.
What Can I do to correct this?

I see that you have increased some font sizes considerably.
* font.size.fixed.x-western: 20
* font.size.variable.x-western: 22
This can effect margins when the website specifies these as em values and cause content to shift.
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use the NoSquint extension to set font size (text/page zoom) and text color on web pages.

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete this user.js and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Aperture 3 screen view. I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side and the picture on the far right side. The middle of screen is black. I need to get the picture back in the center of screen

I have the adjustments, etc. on the left side of the screen. The picture is on the far right side of the screen. The middle of the screen is all black.How do I get the picture back in the middle of the acreen. I believe I must have hit a button that moved the picture to the far right.

On the Mac......
Open up Macintosh HD > Applicatons > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears
Click the Network tab at the top of the next window
Change the setting for Router Mode from the current DHCP and NAT to read Off (Bridge Mode), then click Update at the lower right of the window, and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart to a green light.
Then.....very important
Power off the Time Capsule and your Arris modem/router for a few minutes
Start up the Arris first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Start up the Time Capsule next the same way
Your network will now be correct, and your printing capabilities will improve.
If Time Machine backups do not occur now, post back and we will tackle that next.

The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side?

The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

Hey jimmiet,
There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

I am unable to see, access, or navigate to, the far right side of iTunes 11.3.1.2 home screen on Dell Inspiron 3000 Windows 8.1 w/64-bit Pentium Processor.

I am unable to see, access, or navigate to, the far right side of iTunes 11.3.1.2 home screen on Dell Inspiron 3000 Windows 8.1 w/64-bit Pentium Processor.

Try dragging the window away from its location, resizing it, then maximizing it. There's been a bug since iTunes 11 that doesn't always size the window correctly if set to run maximized automatically (which I've notice most particularly on dual-screen systems).

Annoying bar on the right side of my browser, makes the text and resolution of things inside the browser look blurry, is there any way to fix this?

There's been this white, or transparent bar on the right side of the browser (picture for reference: http://imgur.com/Jhzn9ym )
That annoying bar makes the whole browser become blurry in resolution and it even affects how I click on links, for example lets say I click on link, the browser will think im just highlighting text and make me click about half an inch to the right in order to click the link I want. I guess the transparent bar throws off the browser as if that bar isn't there but yet the browser has adjusted to fit the faulty resolution. I know about computers and I'm not a stay at home mom that has no idea how to fix things, if you notice the image the browser is fully opened, as in the button that has the square to make the browser fit the window is clicked, so the browser is set to fit. This is really annoying because it just throws off the way I use it and the functionality is not there any more.

If the Firefox window isn't maximized can you then drag te windows borders to make it fill the full screen width?
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Is turning off iFrames via about:config browser.frames.enabled;false broken in Firefox 23?

I noticed that Firefox with version 23 removed option to turn OFF JavaScriipt from Tools > Options > Content menu
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/163291-firefox-23-finally-kills-the-blink-tag-removes-ability-to-turn-off-javascript-introduces-new-logo
Recent events when allegedly FBI used JavaScript in iframe to exploit bug in Firefox with intentions to uncover identity of users of TOR network encouraged me to play with security settings a bit.
More about how FBI exploited Firefox bug to execute malitious JavaScript on users computers: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2013-August/000089.html More biased articles can be found in popular media articles. Just google "TOR exploit FBI"
ISSUE:
Symptoms:
I noticed that turning iFrames OFF in about:config > browser.frames.enabled;false seems to not be working as expected. Iframes are still shown and JavaScript in them is executed. Doesnt work even after resterting Firefox.
Testing:
I used this pages to test iFrames:
•https://sites.google.com/site/annuairevin/test-page
•http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe
•http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html
After I turned browser.frames.enabled OFF and restarted I noticed that iFrames are still shown on all 3 pages and JavaScript in them would be executed.
By blocking IFRAMES with NoScript blocking turned ON (you have to turn forbidding IFRAMES on manually in options http://i.imgur.com/7jctoTW.png) I managed to block IFRAMES on google and w3school pages.
!!!Text in iframe "Test page in iframe" on quirksmode test page was still shown even after I have frames turned OFF in about:config and I block all scripts and frames and iframes with NoScript.
If I open same page (http://www.quirksmode.org/iframetest.html) with Opera with iFrames blocked in Preferences, iFrame is not shown at all, browser doesnt even render empty square; but JavaScript in it is executed, if you dont disable JavaScript in Preferences > Advanced.
I didnt test Chrome at all.
Possible things that can cause bug:
•I am using NoScript 2.6.7, I turned it off and on but it is possible that it is overriding Firefox settings in about:config. when you serach about:config for "frames" there are many settings mentioning frames from NoScript and AdBlockPlus.
•AdBlock Plus 2.3.2? Same reason as NoScript.
•Fot the first time I noticed Shield in the address bar with "Firefox has blocked content that isnt secure" bubble. http://i.imgur.com/K4FL65n.png. I dont know how long this feature is implemented or what exactly it does, here are some details: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
P.S. Just small remark. If that is true: "Finally, Firefox 23 removes the option to disable JavaScript from the Options pane — and if you had JavaScript turned off, it has been turned back on." There should be some warning when Firefox is updated that JS was turned ON. I think that for me FF updated silently without any messages. OR maybe I blatantly closed some windows, i dont remember well.

The documentation I find on browser.frames.enabled is very vague, but I can't see that it does anything currently. Is this a feature you used successfully in an earlier version?
The Mixed [Active] Content Blocker was turned on by default in Firefox 23. That would explain the shield icon. Not sure whether implementing that might have changed how iframes are handled.

1px line created on the right side of the browser

Hi All,
I want to have a banner image, which fades into blackness so i have made the image smaller to fade into a black solid background. I have simply placed this behind the background image.
When adding either a rectangle with a fill image or a solid black image to my banner, it is somehow creating a 1 pixel thin white line on the right of the browser. It's as if there is an element which is larger than my width (1400px including the 100px for left and 100px for right margins). It is also creating a horizontal scroll bar.
Once i delete this rectangular fill/solid colour fill, i no longer have a horizontal scroll bar or a 1px thin line on the right.
I have double checked every single element of the page that it does not exceed the canvas size and it touches the edges to create the red lines that it is 100% full browser width. I have checked the master etc.. everything seems to be fine and the correct 1400px width.
Can anyone assist with what could potentially be causing this? I have attached some screenshots if you need any.
PLEASE NOTE! This is only an issue with GOOGLE CHROME for desktop and on any browser for tablets (haven't tested on mobile yet as i have not optimised my site for mobile).
I've tried this is Safari and it has no horizontal scroll bar or an issue with the 1px thin line on the right side of the browser.
This is killing me because i can't find out what it is!

Hi All,
Anyone have any ideas?!

Compared to google chrome, when using firefox with fb, it is choppy and so slow to load new tabs and general info. Google is by far superior wish you could make ff the equal as I use both simultaneously

I use google chrome and firefox at the same time, logged on to different accounts in fb, google chrome functions smoothly, opening new windows or tabs or even just loading is quicker, firefox fills like it is working to hard, like pulling teeth, new tabs are slow to open, new windows are slower, just loading fb is slower, the whole experience is extremely choppy. Even when just using firefox alone, it is extremely choppy, not really sure how to explain it. It used to be the equivalent to goggle chrome and my browser of choice.

It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

Can the "ADD-A-NEW-TAB" button be reconfigured to be adjacent to existing tabs (like it used to be)? I am a left-handed tablet user who finds it's position on the far right side of screen very inconvenient.

In previous version of Firefox, the "add-a-new-tab" button has been located to the right of any existing tabs. In the latest version it's been moved to the far right of the screen. In tablet mode, this is too far to reach conveniently for a left-hander. I cannot find any controls to re-configure it to the way it used to be and I can't "drag" it to where I want it. Is there a way to relocate it?

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.
