On the Firefox drop down menu for Firefox 4, the tab for cut, copy and paste is not highlighted. Is there another way for me to include this on the Firefox start page?

I have Firefox 4. In the Firefox drop down menu, there is an option to cut, copy and paste but it is not highlighted. Please tell me how to highlight this link. Or is there a way to have a cut copy and paste tab?

Those links in the Edit menu are only highlighted if there is something to do: 
Paste should be enabled if the clipboard has data placed on it by a previous Copy or Cut and you have set focus on a text area or field that allows to paste that data.
Copy works if some text is selected.

Am trying to change security preferences to allow cut,copy and paste. Am trying to follow directions from Help but I can't find the Firefox profile directory.

I've found the Mozilla Firefox program file but don't see Profile directory there. Is Profile a separate directory, or should I just create the user.js file at the Mozilla Firefox level?

How do I put my tabs back up beside the orange firefox drop down menu?

I have an Acer Mini. In order to optimize screen space, I closed most of the toolbars down, leaving the navigation bar and the tabs on top. They appeared in the blue space beside the orange "firefox" drop down menu. I turned away from the laptop to tend to my baby and when I turned back, my 2 yr old was mashing keys. I don't know what he did, but now I can't get the tabs back up there.

Upper-right corner of Firefox, hit the center of the 3 buttons to Maximize the browser window.

My Firefox 5.0 doesn't have the new orange Firefox drop down menu (on the top left)

I just upgraded to 5.0 and the new drop down menu that's supposed to be on the top left side isn't there. Do I have to enable it or is something else wrong?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options. 
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. 
You can place the Tab Bar on top.

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu.
I have tried to select one of the suggestions that google give me for my search but FF it wont let me. I have type everything out in full. I hate FF4 it is rubbish. I loved firefox before this one came out but now I am seriously thinking of going over to google chrome.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

I just updated to 25.0 and I noticed the History drop down menu has been simplified and Back, Forward and Home are now gone. Can these be restored?

I am running on a Mac (Lion) with FF 25.0. I typically hide the toolbar because I like to max out my screen space without having to go into full screen mode. So I typically use a custom keyboard command to navigate forward and back during my browser session, but occasionally the keyboard command fails and the page is unresponsive. In the past all I had to do was go up to the History drop down menu and choose "Back" or "Forward". I would also use the "Home" selection to get back to my homepage. But ever since I updated to 25.0 those selection are now gone from the History menu.
Is there any way to restore them? And are they gone for all users (was this a global change) or are one of my add-ons simply not playing nice and causing this problem? TIA!

On WinXP Back, Forward, and Home was last in the Firefox 3.6 versions and disappeared as of Firefox 4.0 - and hasn't been seen since.
Doesn't the Mac OSX versions of Firefox have Back and Forward in the context menu (right-click), as Windows and Linux versions do?

The "New Tab" function does not work either from the tab bar, the File drop down menu or using CTRL+T

The new tab is visible on the the tab bar but clicking on it does not open a new tab.Neither can I open a new tab from the File drop down menu, nor the Ctrl+T method as indicated in the troubleshooting guide.

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' which many users have reported causing that problem.

The tools drop down menu does not have the options "button?" or whatever it is called. So, how do I get it back or better yet... where is it? 14.1.0 mac

I am on a Mac. I am running Firefox 14.0.1 In the tools drop down menu, there is no options button. where is it or how do i restore it to the tools menu?

Thanks for the reply, but I didn't understand it. As you can tell, I am not very good with computer jargon. So, I have to be walked through every step.
Still, I think you were not trying to answer my Tools/option question so much as tell me how to do something else. On this, I could be incorrect.

Wrapping text in the navigation drop down menu

Help! Is there a way to wrap text in the navigation drop down menu. Some of the text is too long and sits outside of the drop down box. Is there code that I can insert in the below example or would this need to be specified in the css stylesheet that is attached? If this needs to go in the css stylesheet, then what would the code be for that?
Thank you!

Is there a way to actually wrap the text and keep the box it sits in the same size?
Height is determined by content & end-user's default text size.
Look at the Adobe Forum top menu bar. Mouse over Store > sub-menus. When text wraps to more than one line, the sub-menu adjusts to content. If you increase text size in browser it's more obvious.

How to add a new status to the Status drop down menu in CRM

Hi All,
Help me guyz i am new to CRM,
i have to add a new status to the Status drop down menu in CRM Sales Area.
Please help me for steps.
Thanks
DST

Hi,
You can add New status to the Drop Down menu by defining a catalog,codegroups & code group profiles to that...... Once assigned assign them to the Subject profiles and assign this subject profile to the transaction type that is assigned.
This would populate all the profiles that u have mentioned in the subject profile.
Award points if this answer helps you.

Unknown PC icon showing up in the shared drop down menu - a hacker?

There is an unknown PC "kirkshp" showing up in the shared drop down menu, that makes me worried. I have shut off my bluetooth, and airport connection for now but would like to know how this PC is connecting and how to eliminate this in the future.
Have seen many posts with this problem, but not a comparable situation as I don't even have wireless router in house - I am hooked in via ethernet but use airport when out of my studio.
Just want a simple, if temporary solution until I can learn more about network security - any wisdom out there? I would so appreciate it, thanks!

Hi
I think by Shared you mean the Shared Section in the Finder Window's Sidebar. If that's the case what you're seeing is probably because
(1) either you've joined an unsecured wireless network or
(2) your wireless network is unsecured and that person has joined your network
(3) both of you are using a freely available public wireless network
(4) your network is secured but has a weak password
(5) your network is secured with a password which has been broken
(6) your network is secured but you've given the user you're seeing the password
If (4) and (5) is the case change the password. If (6) perhaps you've forgetten? Perhaps the PC you're 'seeing' is named in a way you don't recognize as the person you gave the password to?
If (2) force users to require a password to join your network or disable the option that broadcasts your wireless network's name. That way no-one 'sees' your wireless network 'announcing' itself as such. The only way to join the network would be to manually enter its name which you would have to know in the first place. You do this using your gateway/router's web interface. Assuming your gateway/router supports this option?
If (1) you're probably looking at the person's PC whom the network belongs to.
As long as you don't enable Personal File Sharing, unrestricted SSH access or VNC then at best all they can do is 'see' another PC that happens to be connected to the same network. If you have enabled Personal File Sharing 'beef' up your passwords and begin to restrict which user/account is allowed access to Public Folders. Can you actually connect to that PC? Or is all you can do is 'see' it?
I actually don't see any of this as a 'problem'. For me this is how this part of the OS is supposed to work. Macs announce/broadcast themselves on P2P Networks using a variety of protocols - Bonjour/Rendezvous, NetBios etc. PCs do something similar. You may also find the PC that you can 'see' is not actually a PC but a Router/Gateway/Firewall. Some Thompson Gateways for example broadcast themselves as a 'PC'.

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
