FireFox 4, Ubuntu 10.04 - menu bar and bookmarks are locked

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on ubuntu 10.04. I did this by setting the ppa as described in many places: For example:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
After doing this, firefox has been working for many days just fine. On several of my systems [ 3 of my systems ].
Now I come back to one of my 10.04 systems and find that the menus of firefox are unresponsive. They do not work at all. The book marks do not work.
Processor is not busy.
Plenty of memory.
Network is working fine.
If I type into the google search bar and type enter I get a page and I can navigate from there, but the menus and bookmarks are totally unresponsive.
What gives?
I have rebooted the system and nothing changes.
Menus work fine in other apps, for example System Monitor. and the Window Manager menus are fine.
Menus work fine in the web pages.
Bookmark menus highlight, they do not pull down.
Menus on the menu bar do not pull down.
Toolbar buttons work fine.

I fixed the problem by starting firefox in a terminal. Works when you start it that way, and works fine afterward.
This problem was reported by me ages ago ( i forgot actually).

Strange. but the bug is still with us after all this time.

Color Swatches in Toolbar for Fill and Stroke are not working properly.

The color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should. When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be. However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be.
I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
I've submitted a bug report, but want to know if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to resolve the issue.
Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting. I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.

Double click the eyedropper, and turn on appearance, is off by default.
For your #000000 color problem that also likely is related to appearance setting. You may have for example have some with #000000 at the character level, and another color at the type level.

My home page will not load when I open Firefox but features show up in column on left and bookmarks are there.

My home page opens with features in a column on the left and bookmarks are available but the center section (features) is blank. Home page with features appeared at first opening of FF, then would not open normally after opening a feature but would not open normally when going back to home page. No not at all.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

The e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus or foggy

The problem is that my e-mail and bookmarks are out of focus. When I run the mouse across it, it clears up. I've run every kind of software and nothing helps. I got in touch with My P.C. support and they didn't know or care to fix it.

hello jims1914, please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in ''firefox > options > advanced > general''.

My toolbar, search bo and bookmarks bars vanished, FF 18.02, Mac OS 10.6.8

my top two toolbars vanished. I cannot manually enter a URL, when I get a new tab I am unable to enter anything. If I want to run a search I have to go to Google in history, the select search. Are you trying to run users to another browser?

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

I just upgraded on May 11 and find I cannot open a fold for bookmarks. I research and bookmarks are my lively hood. How can I return the bookmark functionality?

MS 7 and long time user of Firefox so this is the recent upgrade of May 11. Unlike the prior bookmark functionality, I cannot indicate I want to bookmark a link and designate a new folder for a new topic in two to three clicks. This is critical to what I do for a living. How can I return the prior format and be sure bookmarks are backed up automatically. Does going back to the older and more functional tool bar restore this? And why does clicking the bookmarks toolbar show getting started, most visited and the printer icon? Getting started takes one to a new user set of instructions. But there are no functional operations in the tool bar? I am not going to go thru a lot of commands, this should be a automatic as before.

'' the bookmark facility is not functional in 29 ... Bookmark puts all bookmarks there into "recently bookmarked" ''
It does not.
It works much the same as the old system does. Or at least it should do and does do for me.
* Carefully reads the following article so you are certain what should be happening '''[[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites ]]'''
# From an unbookmarked page click the bookmarks star.
#* That results in the bookmark being added, and yes initially it is just as an unsorted bookmark. (No doubt that is where most people put most bookmarks)
# IMPORTANT click the star a second time. (But not so rapidly it counts as a doubleclick)
#* You now have the options you had in the old version of Firefox Create new folders Save to a recently used folder Show all bookmark folders - and expand nested folders
If your bookmarks are not working possibly the file is corrupted in which case see
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Damaged_Places_database
I am hoping it is just that you are doubleclicking the star too quickly.

All history and bookmarks are gone, WTF ?

my bookmarks and history are gone. Where are they ?

If you used a remove personal settings option from Windows or Firefox,you may well have permanently lost those bookmarks.
* Undelete If you did that then timely use of a file undelete utility and a good helping of luck are likely to be required to attempt recovery (probably best to stop using
the computer entirely, until you have such utility).
*Your Own Backups You could have a backup system in place that backs up such files or the firefox profile, and you may be able to use that.
* Synced to another machine you may have the bookmarks synced on another machine, or even on an external server
**see [[what is firefox sync?]]
See also [[lost bookmarks]] but I am not sure any of that applies in this case, it is worth reading it though

My former Firefox Profile and bookmarks are missing after a Firefox 29 update - how to get them back?

I've tried all the Mozilla support articles without success.
Where are my bookmarks/passwords/etc. saved in my Mac desktop computer?
Help!!!

It is possible that there is or has been a problem with the profiles.ini file that registers all profile and that a new default profile got created.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/profiles.ini_file
If you sue the Time Machine on your Mac then you can try to recover files that way

I just switched computers and verified my profile, but my settings and bookmarks are missing. I am running 5.0.

I switched my files from my old XP laptop to a new Windows 7 laptop. I verified the profile and it is selecting the same profile as my old computer, but I still do not have any bookmarks, settings, etc. What am I doing wrong?

What do you mean by '''"I verified the profile and it is selecting the same profile as my old computer"'''?
Have you seen this?

I upgraded to Firefox 4 and now I can't use my yahoo toolbar, all my yahoo bookmarks are gone and I hate it! How can I get my stuff back?

First, I kept getting a notice that I should upgrade to Firefox 4. For a few days, I clicked on the link, and it said it was connecting to the server-all day long-until I clicked off of it. So, I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded the new version. My persona disappeared, my yahoo toolbar will not work, all my yahoo bookmarks disappeared and I can't get them back. Is there any way I can fix this! If not, I am going back to IE! This is stupid and frustrating!

Yea, they say they will have it done by '''MAY'''!
Guess I'll just have to turn my computer off for 2 months while I wait.
What other Add-ons don't work? It sure would have been nice to know BEFORE I updated.

I recently had to uninstall and reinstall firefox because I could not open it. Now all my websites and bookmarks are gone and I need to get them back. How?

I have lost all of my most visited websites, bookmarks, and all other data due to reinstalling firefox. I have some files in the Mozilla Firefox folder (C:\Program Files\(x86)\Mozilla Firefox) but none of them are able to be opened when I click Firefox>Bookmarks>Import and Backup>Backup. Is there any way to get all of my information back?

IOBit's software is worse than useless and shouldn't be used. Use Window's built in uninstaller for all install/uninstall processes
Firefox data is saved in your user files, which aren't saved via restore points, so if the information is not there (the article I linked to above would help you find it) then it looks like it was lost because iobit didn't give you an option to save your files. Unless you have a backup of your data somewhere.
You could try a file recovery system, but if you've made changse to your computer since uninstalling (like installing new software, restarting your machine even) it's most likely not going to work.

Safari closed, and bookmarks are gone

Safari closed twice yesterday and then there was no problems. Then I go to book marks and there no there.... any ideas on how to get them back. When this happened it came up with a little gray screen that said you need to restart (there's more to this screen for wording, but its gone out the back door).

Did you check to see if you have a Bookmarks.plist file in Home/Library/Safari? If you do, remove it and then restart Safari. Then quit Safari and put the file back and restart Safari again to see if it recognizes your Bookmarks again.

I REALLY don't like the way the tool bar and bookmarks are set up in firefox 4. Is there a way to change back to the old style?

I want to return to the old format, but don't know how!

No problem, I'm glad to help.

I had to restart my computer and was asked to upgrade to 6.0.2. I now have no past history or old bookmarks. I needed the history and bookmarks for a project I was working on and now they are gone. I'm #?*! pissed. How do I get them back?

I restarted my computer. After it rebooted I was asked to update firefox I did and it updated to 3.0 or something and it said update complete but it is out of date would you like to update to 6.0.2. I did and it updated again. When I got back online, I had no history or old bookmarks. History and bookmarks are there in the toolbar but when I click on them there is nothing from past history and no past bookmarks. I need them back

Hey hey Christ1
I think we are getting closer to this thing being solved...
The Update --
I have all my Mail in One of my accounts (work)....but not all the Mail in the other account (aka my Music account).....
Both I've set up again..using your advice...and changed both now to IMAP..
Originally after refreshing my laptop, when I set up Thunderbird....I used the POP settings.....and that's when I messed it up.....
but using IMAP now....I've gotten more of my old emails .....in my INBOX.....not all.....but most....YIPPIE
My SENT emails....in my Music account.....have all disappeared.......I've looked in both sent folders...in POP...and IMAP....and nothing is there...
However my sent folder of my work account...I have SOME of the sent emails...
Address books....Collected and Personal folders.....I have NO Email Addresses at all.
Sooo now even though I am getting confident we will solve it.....I still have 4 accounts....aka...2 Work (POP and IMAP).....2 Music (POP and IMAP) until you tell me to delete or change one from each.....
BOTH IMAP accounts.....do not show new messages...when they come in....however the POP shows it.....I did read that If I deleted the POP to change to IMAP I will not be able to get emails.....sooo not sure what to do about that issue now....
Is there an "automatic" backup feature for Thunderbird...?? All this could have been soo prevented if I did that....sheesh...
anyway..thanks so far.... :)
